More than a dozen lawmakers called on President Biden to rescind 20 Medals of Honor that were awarded to soldiers who participated in the Wounded Knee massacre in 1890.

“We ask you to act swiftly to revoke these undue honors—a step that will help right this historical wrong and begin to heal the lasting wounds of many Native American descendants today,” the letter, signed by Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Rep. Kaiali'i Kahele (D-Hawaii) and 14 other lawmakers, read.

“The Medals of Honor awarded to U.S. Army personnel for their participation in the Wounded Knee Massacre were wrongly bestowed. The actions of these soldiers were not heroic, and allowing them to continue to bear the highest military honor glorifies what should be treated as a shameful episode in our nation’s history," the lawmakers added.

The lawmakers, however, provided no clear timeline for when they believed the Biden administration should revoke the awards.

“We believe that it is within your authority to confer with the Secretary of Defense and the secretaries of the military departments and revoke these honors when appropriate,” the lawmakers wrote.

Virtue signaling that accomplishes nothing. What the progressives/democrats/liberals do best.

I love when people always like to take shots at the foot soldiers who had zero say in being involved in any war. The politicians that want to revoke those are the same yokels that cause wars in the first place.

“Wounded Knee”

For a second there, I thought we were talking about our *VP. But, the only medal she got was a load from Willie Brown.

She pays for an ivy league education by taking the opportunity from a Native Am girl and then has to gall to act like a champion of Native Am rights. Insane, the woman has no conscience.

She should give Harvard back all the money she made for lying about being an Indian.

I’m sure this will lower gas prices and help people who are suffering because of Bidinflation.

Thanks Pochontas! This will stop inflation, fix the shortages, lower gas prices, solve immigration and border crises and bring world peace. Glad to see she is focused on the fires of today.

Because rescinding these medals, will alleviate or fix what current day problem or issue, Liz??? Will my gasoline be cheaper? Will my grocery bill magically decrease? What about all the empty shelves I see now; will they suddenly fill with inventory once these medals are rescinded?

If there is a bigger "who the frick cares" issue today, please point it out, because I've missed it along the way.

I mean, she's not totally wrong. They slaughtered women and children and old folks.
