Joe Biden responds to Sarah Huckabee Sanders: "It's called empathy. Look it up."

SHS's vicious, idiot tweet, in case you missed other posts about it:

She's deleted the tweet now, but I still have tabs open showing it, so I'll copy the text here:

Biden's response, on Twitter:

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

...how various Trump Administration officials complained and said that comedienne Michelle Wolf picked on Ms. Huckabee Sanders? Now, remember, this is a roast--picking on people is what they do. Various Trump Administration Officials went on about how awful it was. And yet, Ms. Huckabee Sanders tonight thought it was perfectly acceptable to pick on someone for stuttering, only apologizing after realizing that Joe Biden has been fighting his stutter his whole life.

Ms. Huckabee Sanders, if you don't want people to pick on you, perhaps you should stop putting down other people.
