He's 100% right. People do think you're stupid if you have a speech impediment. Everyone laughed and called you a cringe lib or a "Biden deadender" if you pointed out it was pure, ugly ableism that made people think the normal symptoms of a stutter were indicative of cognitive decline, but yeah, it really was ableism the whole time
I mentioned before that I don't have a stutter, but I had another kind of speech impediment as a kid. Speech therapy helped a lot. I still trip over my syllables if I'm talking fast, nervous, upset, etc. I had to sit and watch people both online and irl who I'd previously respected throw all sensitivity and progressivism out the window because "lulz old man braindead because he talks funny." It made me realize that people still probably think a certain type of way about me when I need to stop and restart my sentences.
Oh, and notice the date: this video was taken on March 6, 2026. Everyone was claiming that Biden's stutter was clear evidence that he was braindead in July of 2024. And yet here he is, over a year and a half later, giving coherent speeches in public. And no one who shoved him out of the White House to lay out the red carpet for Trump's return acknowledges this or cares.
