Donald Trump has once again come under fire for mocking Joe Biden’s stutter.
The US President made the comments during a campaign rally in Minnesota on Thursday, where he mocked the Democratic presidential candidate for his speech impediment.
“I’m not a fan of Joe Biden. I don’t think he’s a good candidate,” Trump said. “I don’t think he’s even a good speaker. He stutters. He stutters. He can’t put two sentences together.”
The comments have been widely condemned by both Democrats and Republicans, with many calling them “disgusting” and “unacceptable”.
Biden himself has yet to respond to the comments, but his campaign has released a statement condemning Trump’s remarks.
“Donald Trump’s mockery of Joe Biden’s stutter is disgusting and unacceptable,” the statement read. “It’s a reminder of why so many people with disabilities face discrimination and why we must continue to fight for their rights and dignity.”
The statement went on to say that Biden has been open about his stutter and has used it to inspire others who face similar challenges.
Trump’s comments have sparked a wave of outrage on social media, with many calling for him to apologize.
The incident is just the latest in a long line of controversial remarks made by the President, who has a history of making offensive and derogatory comments about his political opponents.
It remains to be seen whether Trump will apologize for his comments or if he will continue to mock Biden’s stutter. Either way, it is clear that the President’s remarks have been met with widespread condemnation.
