Maga commentator Benny Johnson has ridiculed online after he suggests that the former “big balls” of the former Doge will get the presidential freedom medal after the teenager was violently attacked in Washington, DC
Johnson, who contributed to various conservative and right -wing media such as Breitbart News, even described Edward Coristine’s actions as ‘heroic’.
The 19-year-old was left bloody last weekend in a clear attempt at carjacking. Donald Trump later shared a photo of Coristine on Truth Social Tuesday, and claimed that crime was “out of hand” in DC
“Given the heroic actions of a member of the administration only blocks of this building, will the president consider giving the presidential freedom medal to ‘big balls’?” Johnson asked on Tuesday at a press conference of the White House.
Laughing, press secretary Karoline Leavitt replied: “I didn’t talk about that, but maybe it’s something he would consider.”
The presidential freedom medal is considered the highest civil honor of the US government and is usually presented to individuals as recognition for a life of important performance in art, public services, science or other areas.
Clips from Johnson’s question led to online consternation and indignation, with one user simply commenting: “What a joke.” “We live in the most unparent timeline,” added another, with another user: “Is this real life?”
Others put Johnson as a ‘mouthpiece’ for Trump and the administration, who questioned his journalistic integrity.
“@Bennyjohnson had the privilege of asking a question and this is the question he asked,” wrote a user. “Why should we take these people seriously. I feel bad and embarrassed for the journalists in that room.”
Others reacted with joy, including Bo Loudon, a Maga Gen-Z-influencer and alleged “best friend” of Barron Trump, who re-placed a Trump-generated meme of Trump presented that Coristine was created with the medal of Vrijheid Die before the teenager’s attack.
“This meme can just become a reality. God bless President Trump and” Big Balls! “Loudon wrote.
Coristine was with a nameless woman in the center of DC at 3 o’clock on Sunday 3 August when a group of young people approached their car, according to the police report of the incident. When they refused to transfer the vehicle, the 19-year-old was attacked.
During the attack, an MPD cruiser stopped, as a result of which the attackers were asked to flee. Two 15-year-olds, a man and a woman, were arrested and then accused of unarmed carjacking.
The news of the attack led to indignation of Trump, which placed a long tirade about the state of law and the order in Capitol, USA, although he did not mention Coristine in the post. The president announced a federal acquisition of the DC Metropolitan Police on Monday, in response to what he called ‘Bedlam’.
Coristine received a lot of media attention about his unusual nickname, who reportedly attracted the attention of Elon Musk on LinkedIn, who then caught him in working at Doge.
