The former vice president has battled a stutter from childhood.
Lara Trump, wife of Donald Trump's son Eric Trump, mocked former Vice President Joe Biden's stutter at a "Women for Trump" event in Iowa Thursday night, calling the speech impediment Biden has suffered with since he was a child "sad."
"I feel kind of sad for Joe Biden, and you know that's when it's not going well for him right? Because I'm supposed to want him to fail at every turn, but every time he comes on stage and they turn to him I'm like, 'Joe can you get it out? Let's get the words out Joe.'" she said on stage. "You kind of feel bad for him."
Biden opened up about his stutter last year in an interview with a reporter from the Atlantic who also suffers from the speech impediment. Biden talked about how he spent years trying to overcome his stutter, which he said made him feel "shame" in his youth.
"Anger, rage, humiliation," Biden told the Atlantic, describing how the stutter made him feel. "A feeling of, uhlike I'm sure you've experiencedit just drops out of your chest, just, like, you feel
a void."
This is not the first time someone in Donald Trump's orbit has mocked someone with a disability.

Let's break this down in simple terms:
The Trumps made money in NYC real estate through racist practices and mob-connected money laundering and extortion. When Russian money flowed into NYC real estate after the fall of the USSR, Trump was an easy target. They own him.
Trump's values are racism, bigotry, intimidation and bullying, and breaking any law or ethical standard in his way. He and his children are not nice people. They are thugs.

If you call them racist, they swell with pride. It's a compliment to these twisted Tiki-torch carrying imbeciles.

(61,585 posts)Trump's message is simple and consistent. He's an angry racist.
Angry racists worldwide answer his call. They stand up with their tiki torches and revel in their angry racism. And they will vote for him again even if his policies kill them. Because that's how powerful the emotion is for them.

There is an institute that she founded. A public statement in support of all stutterers including Joe Biden would be appropriate to shut up Lara and Eric Trump.
