Trump mocking Biden's stutter is unacceptable

Advocate for disability and stuttering awareness Marc Winski reacts to former President Donald Trump mocking President Biden's stutter following his State of the Union address. "Bullying in any form is absolutely unacceptable," he says, "and my hope is as a society, we can be and do better so that all can speak their truth."

Awesome job Mark. My youngest son stuttered when he was younger but grew out of it and i know how hard you work to do basic communication that the rest of us take for granted. Thank you for speaking up and being brave!

[theresemurphy]

Mark every decent man and woman listening to this excuse of a man would wish to never have to see or hear him again. Well done Mark

So glad you made this. He needs to be called out. This is something people don't talk about enough!!! 👍🏾
The crowd was the worst part. What are Americans becoming?

[barbmecca]

Mark, thank you for making this video. Someone who makes fun of others is an insecure, insensitive person who doesn't deserve respect because he doesn't have it. You Mark are a secure and sensitive person who deserves to be respected! Thank you again.

I was appalled as well! I wish I could say I was shocked but Trump says so many cruel and hateful things that it’s almost passé. How awful is that when we’re not shocked by him anymore???😢

Unfortunately you should not be surprised by the depths this man can sink to.
He is the farthest thing from being fit or suited or worthy to be the president of the United States of America and it is embarrassing that he ever was or could be again.

[tgardenchicken]

Well said sir. Please know that the majority of your fellow Americans were appalled by what tfg guy said and how the crowd reacted. Power to you, Marc!
Thank you.

Seriously, the audience laughing was sickening. If this is who we are, we are disgusting. Let's all start calling people out who think that jeering at people's individual challenges are cause for amusement.

The only way to stop this is to VOTE BLUE!

Marc, I apologise, as trump never does.What a horrific role model for all of us. trump is totally unacceptable in all ways. Thank you for your courage, Marc. Biden is inspirational, not just to people who stutter, but to everyone. A decent, caring man. Down with bullies. Down with trump.

[HUFFLE-PUFF]

Also… Biden NEVER said those words. Trump made that up just to mock him. It’s gross!

[guambyguambelle]

You are exactly right. My daughter is disabled, and when Trump first heckled a disabled person, I was furious! This is unacceptable behavior for anyone, much less a presidential candidate.

[CarolLynnWilliams]

👉 Thanks for your bravery, Marc. You speak the truth. The trumpeter is SOOO disgusting. Just when it seems that he's bottomed out, he comes along sinking to a NEW LOW !!! 🤬

[ehlrikthrice]

Amen, brother. Thanks for speaking out!

[williampedigo]

A president not only represents the people of our country, but our country to the world. I don’t want a person who mocks people with a disability to represent me or my country.

[tracewallace]

I grew up with a guy that stuttered and had tics, another with down syndrome, a girl with eczema, and a guy that had "special legs"🙂
We never made fun of ANY of their disabilities.
But we would brutally make fun of those that did😏

[goooch]

Trump acts like a junior high punk and his entourage doesn't see anything wrong with it.

[NunyaBusiness]

Trump's offensive is all he knows.

[dspirit]

Marc, I agree w you 💯 percent! He is a serial bully and we must VOTE BLUE 💙

[timamet]

Look at any of Trump's speeches; I cannot believe that someone supports this type of rhetoric. It's hard to believe that people are so ignorant.
