Trump openly mocked a journalist Clearly miffed that his imitation of New York Times handicapped reporter Serge F. Kovaleski has resulted in a hard-hitting attack by the Clinton campaign, Trump offered a lengthy rebuttal in the middle of a campaign rally. As he put it, the Clinton campaign is run by “sick people.”

Much of what Trump says is Four-Pinocchios false.

Sarah Sanders apologized late Thursday after she mocked comments by former Vice President Joe Biden during the Democratic p**********l debate in which he recounted mentoring a boy who had a speech impediment.

Sanders, the former White House press secretary, made the remarks on Twitter after Biden, who has been open about his stutter and his struggle with it since he was a child, described his interaction with the boy.

“The little kid who said: ‘I can’t talk. What do I do?’” Biden said, speaking haltingly over the “I” and “what” for emphasis.

Shortly after, Sanders tweeted, “I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I hhhave absolutely no idea what Biden is talking about.” The post has since been deleted.

A barrage of criticism of Sanders followed.

“This is the most d********g tweet of the night,” wrote Sabrina Singh, a spokeswoman for Sen. Cory Booker, who is also running for president.

Andrew Bates, one of Biden’s campaign staff members, wrote, “An insultingly stupid whopper from Sarah Huckabee Sanders — now I’ve seen everything.”

But Sanders did not retreat until after Biden responded.

“I’ve worked my whole life to overcome a stutter,” he tweeted. “And it’s my great honor to mentor kids who have experienced the same. It’s called empathy. Look it up.”

Sanders replied: “I actually didn’t know that about you and that is commendable. I apologize and should have made my point respectfully.”

Biden turned the exchange into an opportunity to raise money for his campaign.

“If you believe we need to bring empathy back to the White House chip in $5,” he wrote soon after, linking to a donation page.

While Biden has often spoken about his stutter, he has a history of making gaffes and has made a number of confusing remarks on the campaign trail, sometimes mixing up countries, cities or dates or cutting himself off midsentence.

Biden’s struggles with verbal stumbles were documented in a lengthy article in The Atlantic that was published online last month.

“Stuttering gave me an insight I don’t think I ever would have had into other people’s pain,” he told the magazine.

Sanders left the White House in June after a tumultuous tenure as President Donald Trump’s press secretary, but she has hardly kept a low profile, often taking jabs on Twitter at the Democratic p**********l candidates.

She has indicated she is planning her own run for office, most likely for governor of Arkansas, her home state, which T***p w*n in 2016 by nearly 27 points. That job will open in 2023, when Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s term is up.

“There are two types of people who run for office,” Sanders told The New York Times last month. “People that are called and people that just want to be a senator or governor. I feel like I’ve been called.”

In 2015, Biden wrote a letter to the Stuttering Foundation in support of Stuttering Awareness Week that described the frustration of living with the condition.

“My stutter embarrassed me and made me question myself and abilities daily,” Biden wrote. “But, I was lucky to find love and support through my family. It was constantly reinforced that I was as bright and capable as any of the other kids in my class.”

It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome. It’s infectious, airborne and strikes down the intellectually weakest, greediest and most gullible amongst us. You can build resistance by education of all kinds, cultivation of independent thought, avoidance of tribal gatherings, travel and open mindedness.

rumitoid

Haha, amen!

Canuckus Deploracus Loc: North of the wall

I have tutored a couple of stutterers...

Most don't mind a good joke about it...

It's when people go out of their way to "coddle"
them that they get upset...

Might be different over here...

Society plays a big part in how individuals view themselves..

rumitoid

Yes, TDS, those mindless, soulless, blind followers of Trump. Tragic, really. It's infectious fear and h**e. And so kind to point out the Liberal's antidote; very big of you.

rumitoid

My old brother had a stutter. Worked with a tutor like yourself and overcame it. Was on the debating team in HS and later became a tax attorney. He joked with me a number of times about it. He said it wasn't a stutter but an elongated echo.

TexaCan Loc: Homeward Bound!

In the last 7 days you have created 15 straight threads of pure hatred against President Trump! That is tragic!

Now who is the h**er? We are mindless....soulless......blind followers!👿👿👿👿

Could you remind us what it is that we are supposed to fear? I forgot!😂😂😂😂😂

TexaCan Loc: Homeward Bound!

In other words, one must be an elitist to be a liberal!

rumitoid

You are too funny and never change. Instead of the--what?--40th time you attack me instead of addressing the thread. Make me wrong and terrible and sinister and dumb by once refuting what I say, proving me wrong. I understand why don't try, two good reasons: 1) You can't; 2) that would bore your base. Too intellectual, like the Left with all their fancy words and theories.

rumitoid

Pure fact is not hatred.

rumitoid

15 threads of facts and you still don't get it? If they weren't facts, why not refute or rebut them? It would make your case stronger that I am just a h**er. But you never make that effort: why?

TexaCan Loc: Homeward Bound!

I always address YOUR words, not you! For once, attempt to discuss a subject without personal insults to President Trump or his supporters! There are those on this forum that accomplish this quite often! I challenge you for 48 hrs. to discuss your opinion, your views, your facts..........without insults! And don’t claim that your crass insults are facts!

TexaCan Loc: Homeward Bound!

How are you going to prove that we are mindless And soulless? I suppose that you don’t consider that an insult.......just a fact?

You accused us of “fearing” ?? I asked you to explain what it was that we feared! Another insult instead of a fact!

These are your WORDS .........And I’m discussing them!

TexaCan Loc: Homeward Bound!

Hatred is just hatred and very detrimental for persons with high blood pressure!

48 hours , just 48 hours of self-controlled discussions without using personal insults!
And that means 48 hours of me not commenting on “said” insults!

Time to watch a funny Christmas movie with my husband!

Merry Christmas, Rumi!
Hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow with lots of delicious food!

Tell us all oh master of bovine scatology. In your endless stream of insults and whining how is your character better than Trump’s? I don’t see much difference. Its not just the president you insult and you can’t discuss anything without bringing Trump into it.

THAT is TDS. Its not just for blind followers but for frothing at the mouth h**ers.
