@blkeconomicnews: As we mourn the loss of Dolly Parton, we’re taking it back to a throwback moment where President Obama celebrated her incredible legacy. Dolly’s impact extends beyond music — she has connected with Black culture, artists, and communities while building a legacy rooted in business, ownership, and wealth. Her story is a reminder of the power of culture, creativity, and creating wealth that lasts for generations. 🕊️ #dollyparton #obama #presidentobama #investing

Jesse Lanclos :
she wouldn't accept one from Biden and she wouldn't accept one from trump. she wouldn't accept one from any president because she didn't want to divide people

Edward halligan :
She turned it down multiple times because she did not want to be identified as siding with any political party. She did not want the award.

No offense, but since they give that award to people like Trump, it kind of doesn’t mean anything anymore

She declined. Ask Trump how he feels.

She declined Trump twice, once just because and once because of Covid. She then turned Biden down because she felt accepting from Biden after denying Trump would be too political. That by itself tells me a lot about her likely personal politics.

Could her family posthumously accept one in her honor. I’m sure one of the last few

She was offered it twice, but turned it down because of previous engagement and then once because Carl was sick

A president that accepts accountability instead of blaming others, barely remember that it’s the standard that should be expected

She was offered twice. She turned it down both times. Her husband was sick the first time, she stayed home to take care of him. Second time she had a scheduling conflict and wouldn’t cancel her prior commitments.

I appreciate he admitted this. And I admire her reason for nit accepting it. She didn’t accept it from Trump because it was during the pandemic and then she didn’t accept it from Biden because she didn’t want appear to be political. Dolly loved everybody. And everybody loved Dolly!
