Amid a crowd of hundreds watching President Joe Biden speak at a North County campaign event for Rep. Mike Levin on Thursday, Jared Smith and his handwritten sign stood out. It read: “Thank you for having a stutter.”
“It's a thankless task being a person with a nonvisual disability and oftentimes you’re expected to fit into society rather than having society be understanding of you,” he said.
