I thought we made some progress over the years... The Kings Speech. Joe Biden. Nope! TV Host Laura Ingraham OPENLY mocks Joe Biden's stutter like she's some kind of 12 year old on the playground. She even said she's going to get in trouble for this! Only one major news outlet picked up! And absolutely no apology. Where are our beloved stuttering celebrities to stand up for us!!?? It's so disheartening. Even a company like Disney recently has a character in Star Wars who only stutterers in moments of weakness and who has his biggest block when he performs an act of dishonesty in a climax scene. It's utterly ridiculous and I am sick of it.
