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:

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I hhhave absolutely no idea what Biden is talking about. #DemDebate

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.

1. Put the bottle down, Sarah.

Maybe then you'll understand it.

[UniteFightBack]

2. What the fuck is wrong with her? Purposefully not understand what he was illustrating?

It is a really sad state of affairs and I just hope there are enough people who CARE and show up to vote.

[volstork]

3. Just stating the obvious, I know, but

SHS is absolutely vile.

20. She can't help it, her father raised her.

[Hav]

4. Perfect response

I'd say he showed her how shameful her behaviour was but these people are cruel aholes who don't know what shame is.

[Cha]

5. Awesome Response from Joe Biden!!

Thank You!

[tishaLA]

6. So she deleted her tweet

Everyone was piling on.

7. I just edited the OP to include the text she'd deleted. Thanks for letting me know it had been

deleted.

10. Thank you.

I was not sure if the other thread referred to Palin or Sanders.

What a creepy thought process.

[PufPuf23]

8. That is Sarah Yuck-I-Be Sanders for you.

And I use to think her father was the family trash heap of flesh and waste of oxygen and water.

9. They are truly, truly disgusting, deplorable people.

On a side note, thanks for clarifying the moment, as it wasn't exactly clear to me if he was trying to make a point or if he was triggered when discussing it.

11. Holy shit she actually apologized

16. A republican apologizing?! It's a goddamn Christmas miracle!!!

[PatSeg]

18. Whoa!

A republican actually apologized??? Not something we see every day!

[Neema]

33. And not even what I call a Republican apology, i.e. "I'm sorry you were offended." nt

[PatSeg]

35. I know

It seemed to be rather genuine.

[dalton99a]

27. She lied. She knew.

[Hav]

12. Her latest excuse: She didn't know he had a stutter

Which means mocking him for the stutter would have been fine had he not battled with that his whole life.

[RockRaven]

17. So by her logic (?) mocking a person with crutches is fine if they've broken their leg

because it is a one-time/temporary condition/event, but it would be wrong if they had cerebral palsy because it is congenital/permanent?

Uhh.... no. That's not how that works.

[PhoenixDem]

13. Go Joe!!!! nt

[Hassler]

14. Sarah Huckalie Slanders responding like only a graduate

Of a Bible college and the daughter of a lying politician preacher can. What a forking hypocrite.

[videohead5]

15. Hell must have frozen over because

She just apologized.

19. I will give this to Joe. He talked to a Republican and got her to see his side.

[myohmy2]

21. republicans...

...have no sense of decency...they respect nothing, they honor nothing; all they do is tear-down and destroy...

...republicans...

[Marcuse]

22. That apology would have been a firing offense if she still had a job

[highplainsdem]

23. She'll probably hear from Trump about it anyway.

[Sloumeau]

24. Does anyone remember how at the White House Correspondent's dinner in 2018...

link: https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/story/michelle-wolf-sarah-huckabee-sanders-white-house-correspondents-54838650

...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.

[woodsprite]

28. Her apology was political.

She didn’t want it to bite her in the ass on her run up for governor.

[czarjak]

25. NOW...

STFU!!!!! WE'RE MAD, BRO.

[NanceGreggs]

26. What can you expect ...

... from the woman who recently claimed that Trump reads more than anyone she knows?

[Cha]

29. Oh gawd.. she must not know anyone.

[NanceGreggs]

30. Exactly. n/t

31. Thing of beauty!
