I really am not a fan of this take and I say this as someone who was inspired by Biden's story on how he overcame his stutter (speaking aloud in front of a mirror). As someone who stutters i still produce coherent, intelligent thoughts. I may stumble along the way but I still get it out. And Biden used to, too. If you look at his old interviews im talking decades ago he was very sharp, he'd stumble at times but his mind was there and he was very smart. Anytime someone tries to associate a stutter to explain the Biden of today, is insulting and misinformation. Yes Biden has a stutter but clearly more is going on and we need to push back on this or others will start to attribute Biden's condition(s) on us.
