There are unscripted (or fairly unscripted) political moments that come up during campaigns that are especially revealing. Most of the time, these moments reveal the dark side of the candidate.
But, there are other instances when the candidate's true decency and character come through.
This occurred when President Biden visited Milwaukee last week and spoke with a boy, Harry, about his stutter.
In the video, the President encouraged the boy, saying "Don't let anybody tell you that you can't do anything. You can do whatever you want to do...You're smart. You're handsome. You know what you're doing. Don't let anybody tell you you're not. You can do anything."
The President also recalled to Harry and his mother how he met an older boy, 13-year-old Brayden Harrington, with a stuttering condition on the 2020 campaign trail. He gave that child similar words of encouragement and invited the other boy to watch Mr. Biden write a speech.
Pulling out the speech he delivered in Milwaukee that day, he showed Harry how he writes marks in his speeches to pause so he could control his own stutter.
The end of the video shows Harry thanking the President.
Now, while this video was certainly well organized, there is no denying that the President's genuine decency, encouragement, competence, and good character came through in this largely unscripted encounter.
For people who are still unsure about Joe Biden, watch this and ask yourself who you want in the White House for the next four years.
Do you think the other guy, the one who thinks Hitler did some good things, would take the time to comfort and encourage a child with a stutter?
