Former President Joe Biden used part of his speech at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson on Friday as a chance to highlight his intelligence.

During the Democrat-studded event that mixed praise for the former aide to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. along with doses of denigration aimed at President Donald Trump, Biden veered off into discussing how he stuttered as a child, according toFox News.

“If I told you I had a cleft palate or clubfoot, none of you would have laughed,” Biden said. “But it’s okay to laugh at stuttering… It’s the one place where people think you’re stupid.

“Oh, really? I’m a hell of a lot smarter than most of you,” he said.

Biden then shifted back to safer ground, saying, “But all kidding aside, it makes you feel really small.”

Biden also had a prediction about Africa.

“I remember telling Jesse that I knew I knew a guy, in South Africa I was going to go see; name is Nelson Mandela. And, I’m Jesse saying, how are you going? You guys actually see him, by the way,” he said.
