Biden Stops Mid-Speech [View all]

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN
Biden Stops Mid-Speech to Recognize San Diego Teen's Sign About His Stutter...

https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/biden-stops-mid-speech-to-recognize-san-diego-teens-sign-about-his-stutter/3089213/


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 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 has a speech impediment."

***Meanwhile, tRump makes fun of people with speech issues. THAT is the difference of being a real man and being a bully.
