Former Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was trying to help Trump by taking a shot at Joe Biden during the Democrat debate.
However, when she made fun of his stuttering during an answer, she was forced to delete her tweet after Joe Biden revealed why he was stuttering.
Backfired
Sanders had the right idea, but it ended up backfiring on her.
Joe Biden was off on a tangent discussing the people he has met and stayed in touch with on the campaign trail.
Biden discussed one boy with a stutter, purposely imitating the stutter for effect.
Sanders then tweeted out, “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”
She was right, because Biden usually does this during the debates, but she was, however, unaware Biden himself has battled with stuttering.
Biden’s camp immediately hit her back with a tweet on Biden’s account revealing this…
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 tried to explain her comments, stating, “To be clear was not trying to make fun of anyone with a speech impediment. Simply pointing out I can’t follow much of anything Biden is talking about.”
She also apologized to Biden…
I actually didn’t know that about you and that is commendable. I apologize and should have made my point respectfully. https://t.co/fbmVAqDoWI

This is far more than we have seen from Democrats when they have been proven wrong, but that is another topic entirely.
The Biden Strategy
If you have watched Biden evolve, his new strategy seems to be twofold and fairly clear.
First, I am not Donald Trump, so you have to vote for me.
Second, he wants people to vote for him because they feel sorry for him.
If it’s not the stutter it is the death of his son Beau or the death of daughter at a young age or how horribly his son Biden is being treated.
While we can empathize with some of those, they have nothing at all to do with being elected to the office of the president.
Biden offers the American people nothing and this desperate strategy is proof of that.
