Former Vice President and 2020 presidential contender Joe Biden noted in Thursday night's Democratic presidential debate that children struggling with a stutter reached out to him for advice.

A recent profile in The Atlantic detailed Biden's own problems with a stutter during his youth.


Responding to a concluding question about what gift a candidate would give or from whom they asked forgiveness, Biden referenced the youths who reached out to him for help with their speech.

"They keep in touch with me. A little kid, he says 'I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I can't, I-I-I can't talk, w-w-what do I do?''

Biden's own struggle with his stutter was apparently news to former White House Press Secretary and current Fox News correspondent Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who mocked Biden's stutter in a now-deleted tweet.

Biden soon responded to Sanders with a lesson on empathy.

And in an uncharacteristic move from a former Trump official, Sanders apologized.

Sanders, both as press secretary and Fox News correspondent, routinely defends the President's own bullying and lack of tact.

This led many to consider the apology hollow.




People were surprised that Biden's response got a Republican to apologize.



Sanders herself famously took umbrage at the 2017 White House Correspondents' Dinner, in which comedian and host Michelle Wolf claimed Sanders burnt the lies she told to create "the perfect smoky eye," which some took as a dig on Sanders' appearance.



Sanders remains relatively silent on Twitter since the apology, only retweeting two Republican figures disparaging Democratic performance at the debate.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
