(Tony Sifert, Headline USA) Although the media hopes to distract Americans from President Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline by publishing melodramatic stories about Sleepy Joe’s alleged “stutter,” new reporting from Revolver has suggested that the role played by the speech impediment is as much of a fabrication as his tale of “robust recovery.”
Pseudonymous reporter Poppy Fields listened to over 40 hours of Biden speeches and media interactions from the years 1986 to 2018, and discovered little evidence of a stutter.
“After watching 43 hours of clips, had I not known Joe Biden had a ‘childhood stutter,’ I would have never pegged him as a guy with a stuttering problem in his past,” Fields wrote.
In fact, Fields found that Biden, “while not the most eloquent or inspiring speaker, was actually a pretty good talker.”
Fields did not question that Biden had a stutter in childhood, but argued that the impediment “absolutely” did not affect his career as a politician — Biden, he wrote, “was actually a pretty good talker.”
Although Biden’s speech patterns qualify as “normal disfluency,” Biden’s “handlers” have been attempting to conceal signs of cognitive decline by sowing “stutter” stories in the media.
In 2020, for example, John Hendrickson of the Atlantic wrote an entire story on Biden’s “verbal stumbles” that attempted to explain away the president’s unbelievably poor debate performances in the run-up to the election.
“One of [Biden’s] aides gingerly asked whether I’d noticed the former vice president stutter during the debate,” Hendrickson wrote. “Of course I had—I stutter, far worse than Biden.”
“The aide said he was ready to talk about it,” Hendrickson continued.
As recently as June 1, Politico reported on the relationship between Biden and Democrat communications strategist Michael Sheehan, “who has prepared some of the president’s most memorable campaign lines and commiserated with him about their mutual stutters.”
