Biden at Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Funeral: I Stuttered When I Was a Kid

BIDEN: “My dad used to say, ‘when you get knocked down, Joey, just get up. Just get up.’ When I was a kid, I was a relatively good athlete, a pretty good student, but I — I stuttered to — to — to talk — talk like that. Now, if I told you all earlier, when I was a kid, I had a cleft palate or a club foot, None of you would’ve laughed. But it’s okay to laugh at stuttering. I’m not being critical of you, but think about it. It’s the one place where people think you’re stupid. Oh really? I’m hell of a lot smarter than most of you. All kidding aside, it makes you feel really small. Makes you feel really small.”
