'Newsflash': CNN fact checks Trump on claim he has 'never mocked Joe Biden's stutter'

Donald Trump may enjoy jabbing 81-year-old Joe Biden for his frail state, but he appears to have forgotten the times that he's targeted his successor's stutter.

A Washington Post story suggested former President Donald Trump's mockery of Biden might backfire as the duo close in on a potential rematch to become the 47th president.

The story claims that in recent weeks Trump, 77, has been "falsely claiming that the president is stuttering during his speeches, and he has parodied the purported stammer on occasion."

However, Biden has turned it into a positive, by "relying on a longtime centerpiece of his personal and political biography, embracing it to sell himself as the candidate of compassion for the 2024 presidential rematch."

When asked about Trump's attacks on Biden's stuttering, his campaign advisor Jason Miller denied that his boss did any such thing. "President Trump has never mocked Joe Biden’s speech impediment,” he told the publication. “He’s simply called out the fact Biden is a cognitively impaired, low-IQ individual.”

On CNN, host Jake Tapper decided to slay that claim.

"So just a little fact check here — Jason Miller saying that Trump has never mocked Joe Biden's speech impediment — let's roll the tape from January."

There Trump stood during a rally speech saying the following: "Did you see him, he was stuttering through the whole thing," he said. 'He's a threat to democracy ah-bah-bah-bah-ah-bah!'"

People in the audience can be heard chuckling.

"They've weaponized government and he's saying, I'm a threat to democracy — 'He's a threat to dah-dah!'"

This had GOP insider Allison Stewart noting that video recordings don't get amnesia.

"Newsflash: whenever you say something in front of cameras, people can use that video against you if you try to deny saying something," she said. "Going after we all know President Biden is old, but going after things like his stuttering and how he walks — that's not what the American people care about."

She continued: "What American people do care about in the general election, voters care about is the fact they don't have confidence in the economy. They're concerned about the crisis at the border. They're concerned about these foreign policy issues that's what people are worried about; and I think it's best for Trump and Republicans that they go after Biden on policies and not these personal issues."
