Simone Biles Claps Back After Disgraced Trump Attorney Jenna Ellis Attacks Her Online

Olympic gold medal gymnast Simone Biles wasted no time shutting down former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis when the lawyer went after her on social media.

Ellis slammed the awarding of the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Biles and USA soccer star Megan Rapinoe on Twitter, posting:

“Fittingly, Biden awarded his presidential medals to fellow losers, Biles and Rapinoe.”

Neither Biles or Rapinoe qualify as “losers,” which is a hell of a lot more than Ellis can say because her lord and savior, Donald Trump, was beaten handily by Biden. As the White House noted when it announced the Medal of Freedom would be awarded to the two:

“Simone Biles is the most decorated American gymnast in history, with a combined total of 32 Olympic and World Championship medals. Biles is also a prominent advocate for athletes’ mental health and safety, children in the foster care system, and victims of sexual assault.”

“Megan Rapinoe is an Olympic gold medalist and two-time Women’s World Cup champion. She also captains OL Reign in the National Women’s Soccer League. She is a prominent advocate for gender pay equality, racial justice, and LGBTQI+ rights.”

For her part, Biles masterfully trolled the hell out of Ellis, posting this in response to the attorney’s hateful tweet:

Others then joined the fun, reminding Ellis that she’s facing disbarment for her role in the attempted 2020 election coup.

If Jenna Ellis had any brains or class (which she clearly doesn’t), she’d delete her Twitter account and hang her head in shame.

Biden Gives Soccer Star Megan Rapinoe The Medal Of Freedom –  Conservatives Pitch An Online Hissy Fit

At the White House today, President Joe Biden awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to 17 people, including Megan Rapinoe NBC News reported.

President Joe Biden on Thursday awarded the American soccer star Megan Rapinoe the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor.

Rapinoe was among 17 recipients, along with gymnast and fellow Olympian Simone Biles, the Academy Award-winning actor Denzel Washington and Sen. John McCain, the Arizona Republican who died in 2018.

Rapinoe is the first soccer player to receive the award and one of just six female athletes or coaches.

As part of the medal presentation, Biden had this to say about Rapinoe:

“Beyond the World Cup title to Olympic medals, Megan is a champion for essential American truth that everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect. She helped lead the change for perhaps the most important victory for anyone on our soccer team or any soccer team: equal pay for women.”

Rapinoe, who is an LGBTQ American, said she was deeply honored to receive the Medal of Freedom:

“I am humbled and truly honored to be chosen for this award by President Biden and feel as inspired and motivated as ever to continue this long history of fighting for the freedoms of all people. To quote Emma Lazarus, ‘Until we are all free, we are none of us free.’”

When Donald Trump was still president, Rapinoe refused to attend a White House ceremony after the women’s soccer team won the World Cup, which was her right.

Conservatives, however, were furious that Rapinoe had been given the nation’s highest civilian honor because they think she dissed the Donald, and they proved their bigotry and hatred with a full-scale online hissy fit. Take a look:

Who did Trump give the Medal of Freedom to? Reps. Jim Jordan and Devin Nunes. Oh, and Rush Limbaugh, one of the most divisive and disgusting human beings to ever slither across the planet.

Megan Rapinoe deserves the honor she received today, if only because it triggered right-wingers so damn much.
