The Insight of Stuttering
“During his 2016 address at the American Institute for Stuttering, Biden told the room that he’d turned down an invitation to speak at a dinner organized by the group years earlier.”
—
“I was afraid if people knew I stuttered…they would have thought something was wrong with me.”
—
“Yet even when sharing these old, hard stories, Biden regularly characterizes stuttering as ‘the best thing that ever happened’ to him.”
—
“Stuttering gave me an insight I don’t think I ever would have had into other people’s pain.” — John Hendrickson and Joe Biden; The Atlantic—What Joe Biden Can’t Bring Himself to Say

My sentiments also, Joe. Well said.
