Ugh, this is just so…gross.

Joe Biden has been open about his lifelong struggle to overcome his stutter and has devoted time to mentoring children with similar issues. As the Washington Post reported last year, it is a “central part of his political story.” It is something Biden has fought hard to overcome, and he is proud of his achievements, and rightfully so.

On Monday night, as Sean Hannity’s guests laughed and giggled, the Fox News host mockingly pretended to have a stutter to ridicule the presidential hopeful.

For the past 6 months (or more) Donald Trump and his allies have tried to frame Biden as mentally unfit for office, accusing him of being senile and suffering from cognitive decline. Hannity, a Trump confidant and sycophant, has been the one to lead the charge in pushing this baseless narrative.

Hours after Trump claimed the “1917” influenza pandemic ended World War II, Hannity hosted former White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson and Trump campaign adviser Mercedes Schlapp to mock Biden’s latest interview gaffes. Mind you…the day Trump made a HUGE error, Hannity and friends were digging for a way to slam Biden.

After the panel agreed that Biden wasn’t “mentally fit” for office and couldn’t pass the same cognitive test that Trump took, Hannity aired a clip of Biden recently scolding a Black anchor for asking if he’s taken a cognitive exam.

“That’s like saying to you, before you got on this program, you take a test where you taking cocaine or not. What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?” Biden said at the time, sparking criticism and derision. It was not Joe’s best interview. But that’s Joe. He’s not an elegant speaker like Obama. But we know his heart, and we know it’s good.

Later in the interview, Biden stumbled over the word “fitness,” briefly stuttering as he repeated the word a couple of times.

Paraphrasing Biden’s remarks, Hannity turned to Schlapp and began impersonating Biden while exaggeratedly stammering and stuttering when he tried to say “fitness.”

“And I’d put my physical and mental fuh,fuh—what’s that word again? Oh, oh, ohh! Fuh, fuh, fuh, fuh, fitness! Fitness!” Hannity exclaimed as Jackson and Schlapp laughed.

Last December, during a Democratic primary debate, former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders mockingly tweeted about Biden’s stutter. She eventually apologized.

At one point in that debate, Biden spoke about the stuttering children he’s mentored in the past, mimicking a stutter while recounting how a young kid told him “I can’t talk.” Sanders, meanwhile, tweeted moments later: “I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I hhhave absolutely no idea what Biden is talking about.”

She soon deleted the tweet after receiving swift backlash over it, despite initially insisting she wasn’t attempting to make fun of Biden’s stutter. Which we know isn’t true. She was just sorry she got called out for it.
