And it’s real hard not to share.

Lovely story. Brayden was wonderful at the DNC. Superstar!

This was a genuine moment, completely organic, and something the country has been missing for almost four years.

Some wingnut in a red hat saying "He's here because he hates ______ (Mexicans, Black people, Women, Muslims, the Earth, libs, etc....)" and Trump responding "Hey, here's a phone number for Trump University."

Some day Brayden will probably be invited to the White House or perhaps the State of the Union. Just imagine what the bullies who teased him will think.

There is no doubt in any of our minds that MF45 has bullied many stutterers in his lifetime, and not just when he was young.

The contrast is what makes this so touching for me. It really is good versus evil.
