As most of us know, Joe Biden has a stutter. He has worked all his life to control and overcome the stutter. It is not unusual for him to hesitate for a moment in a speech when he encounters a word that he knows will cause him to stutter. He pauses, pronounces the word to himself, the continues his speech.
Republicans and other trash point to his strange pauses as proof that Biden is mentally impaired. He is not. The only mentally-impaired people in the discussion are the Republicans and those who follow them.
Here’s an NBC report on a recent incident at a Biden rally.
Amid a crowd of hundreds watching President Joe Biden speak at a North County campaign event for Rep. Mike Levin on Thursday, Jared Smith and his handwritten sign stood out. It read: “Thank you for having a stutter.”
About 20 minutes into the speech, President Biden noticed it, but couldn’t read it.
“I’ll catch you later, OK?” Biden told Smith. “I have no idea what it says. It has a small print on it.”
A woman nearby then jumped in and read it out loud.
“Oh god [I] love you,” said President Biden.
“I really wanted to thank him for working a thankless job and being an example of someone with a stutter or speech disability,” Smith told NBC 7 Friday.
Smith has a speech impediment.
