Commenting during last night’s Democratic debate, former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders took to Twitter where she mocked Joe Biden’s stuttering during his portion of the debate.
The former Vice President, who grew up with a stutter he has worked his entire life to control, was actually emulating a child who he said came up to him, saying “I can’t talk.”
That’s when Sanders took to Twitter to make fun of Biden and his disability.
“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,” Sanders tweeted.
Sanders deleted her tweet after receiving backlash but we were able to retrieve it:
It also didn’t take long for Biden himself to respond to Sanders:
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. https://t.co/0kd0UJr9Rs

Sanders also received a lot of backlash from Twitter users:
I have to say @SarahHuckabee is truly a shitty human being for tweeting this. https://t.co/riedFrqKMb

Mocking Biden who overcame a stutter. You can take a woman out of the Trump White House but you can’t take the Trump White House out of a woman. https://t.co/WFfsa8zx4E

As a Fulbright-Schumaner with the @FulbrightPrgrm, it is appalling to see ableist comments coming from @fulbrightboard Member Sanders. The fourth guiding administrative principle of the Fulbright program is to “encourage diversity.” These comments are at odds with that. https://t.co/AD90SkLy3B
