</p><p>Q    Thank you, Mr. President.  ... would you revoke the Medal of Freedom from Bill Cosby?
</p><p>...
</p><p>And with respect to the Medal of Freedom, there’s no precedent for revoking a medal.  We don’t have that mechanism.  And as you know, I tend to make it a policy not to comment on the specifics of cases where there might still be, if not criminal, then civil issues involved.
</p>
I’ll say this:  If you give a woman -- or a man, for that matter -- without his or her knowledge, a drug, and then have sex with that person without consent, that’s rape.  And I think this country -- any civilized country -- should have no tolerance for rape.
