LOS ANGELES (1010 WINS) -- Former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has apologized after she mocked former Vice President Joe Biden following Thursday night's debate.

During the debate, Biden imitated a stutter as he related a tale of how he connects with people as he campaigns, including a child who may have had a speech impediment.

Afterward, former Trump press secretary Sarah Sanders seemed to imitate a stutter as she tweeted, "I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I hhhave absolutely no idea what Biden is talking about. #DemDebate."

Sanders followed up with a tweet saying she wasn't making fun of anyone but "pointing out I can’t follow much of anything Biden is talking about."

Biden suffered from a stutter as a child. After the debate, he tweeted in response, "I’ve worked my whole life to overcome a stutter" and encouraged "empathy" to understand those who have experienced the same.

"I actually didn't know that about you and that is commendable," Sanders later tweeted. "I apologize and should have made my point respectfully."

Sanders also deleted the original tweet.
