[edit]Description2015-07-16 White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary on Revoking Medal of Freedom from Bill Cosby.jpg |
Q -- yesterday in the President’s remarks he referenced Bill Cosby and revoking the Medal of Freedom and saying there was no precedent for doing so. Immediately afterwards, the group that started the petition issued another statement saying, we understand that there’s no precedent, but we're asking you to make one. What’s the reaction to that? MR. SCHULTZ: I don't have much to add to the President’s remarks from yesterday on this. As he mentioned, there is no -- we couldn't find another instance of a President revoking a former President’s Medal of *Honor Freedom. As you know, the Medal of *Honor Freedom was started under President Kennedy in 1963. We can't find precedent for revoking it. But the President’s point, I think, yesterday was a little bit larger than one particular episode, which is he’s been working very hard, and this administration has worked very hard over the last few years to not only take action against this problem, but also speak out and raise awareness. You’ve seen us stand up a “It's On Us” campaign, which is focused on college campuses. You’ve heard the President speak out about this in regards to it happening all too common in our military. So I don't think this issue is going away, and that's why the President is so focused on it. |
