Former President’s Remark Challenges Notions of Intelligence at Funeral
Former President Joe Biden declared at Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Chicago memorial that his stutter was mocked, leading to perceptions of stupidity despite his intelligence.
He told the crowd, “I’m a hell of a lot smarter than most of you,” before noting it made him feel “really small.”
“If I told you I had a cleft palate or clubfoot, none of you would have laughed. But it’s okay to laugh at stuttering. … It’s the one place where people think you’re stupid.”
Liberty Check
- Biden’s arrogant quip at a civil rights funeral exposes elitism clashing with constitutional equality for all Americans.
- Social media blasts the gaffe, with users noting its oddity amid tributes to Jackson’s legacy.
- Leaders must champion limited government and respect ordinary citizens’ rights, not belittle them.
Jackson’s service drew Obama, Clinton, Harris, and Sharpton to honor his role in expanding voter access and Democratic coalitions.
Conservatives see Biden’s remark as another sign of disconnect from patriotic values that unite us under the Constitution.
Stand firm against elite condescension that undermines our freedoms.
Americans deserve better.
