Capt. "Sully" Sullenberger pens op-ed in defense of Biden: 'I stuttered once, too. I dare you to moc


BY MARTY JOHNSON - 01/18/20 07:20 PM EST


Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, the retired pilot known for safely landing US Airways Flight 1549 in 2009, authored a New York Times' op-ed Saturday defending former Vice President Joe Biden's stutter amid mocking comments made about him earlier in the week.

"Sully," who admits that he also had a stutter, begins the piece reflecting on his childhood in Denison, Texas and how hard speaking in class was for him.

"Those feelings came rushing back," "Sully" wrote, "when I heard Lara Trump mocking former Vice President Joe Biden at a [President] Trump campaign event, with the very words that caused my childhood agony.

“Joe, can you get it out?” Ms. Trump was seen saying onstage, as a few giggles are heard from an otherwise silent audience. “Let’s get the words out, Joe.”

whose command of the English language is approximately that of a 5th grader (or perhaps even lower).
This horrible family of grifters, liars, cheaters and dumbasses are a cancer on America.
