Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump and adviser to his reelection campaign, appeared to mock former Vice President Joe Biden over his speech impediment.
“I feel kind of sad for Joe Biden,” she said this week at a “Women for Trump” event in Iowa.
Lara Trump, who is married to middle son Eric Trump, added:
“I’m supposed to want him to fail at every turn, but every time he comes on stage or they turn to him, I’m like, ‘Joe, can you get it out? Let’s get the words out, Joe.’ You kinda feel bad for him. The problem is that’s their front-runner, guys, OK?”

Biden has had a history of stuttering and has been open about his struggles to overcome the condition.
I’ve worked my whole life to overcome a stutter. And it’s my great honor to mentor kids who have experienced the same. It’s called empathy. Look it up. https://t.co/0kd0UJr9Rs

Sanders deleted the tweet, saying she didn’t know about his stutter, and apologized to Biden.
