Former Vice President Joe Biden Joe BidenSenate Republicans face tough decision on replacing Ginsburg What Senate Republicans have said about election-year Supreme Court vacancies Biden says Ginsburg successor should be picked by candidate who wins on Nov. 3 MORE on Sunday responded on Twitter to a column by Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger in which the retired pilot condemned mockery of Biden’s stutter.

“Thank you @Captsully for sharing your story. There’s a lot of kids who I bet needed to hear it. Being different isn’t a barrier to success,” Biden tweeted Sunday. “It can give you the strength to save lives in a crash landing — or even run for President.”

"Stop. Grow up. Show some decency. People who can’t have no place in public life," Sullenberger, most famous for successfully landing US Airways Flight 1549 in 2009, wrote in the New York Times, shortly after President Trump Donald John TrumpObama calls on Senate not to fill Ginsburg's vacancy until after election Planned Parenthood: 'The fate of our rights' depends on Ginsburg replacement Progressive group to spend M in ad campaign on Supreme Court vacancy MORE’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump Lara Lea TrumpHillicon Valley: Democrats demand answers over Russian interference bulletin | Google Cloud wins defense contract for cancer research | Cyberattack disrupts virtual classes Lara Trump campaigns with far-right activist candidate Laura Loomer in Florida Sunday shows - Democrats target Trump as violence flares MORE seemingly mocked the former vice president’s speech impediment.

Sullenberger concluded the op-ed on a similar note to Biden’s, addressing children with such impediments. "You are fine, just as you are. You can do any job you dream of when you grow up,” he wrote. "You can be a pilot who lands your plane on a river and helps save lives, or a president who treats people with respect, rather than making fun of them."
