Perhaps the writer of the letter “Biden and Kennedy are the best Democrats have?” (June 7, TribLIVE) should have done his homework before commenting on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s speaking voice. You don’t criticize someone with a disability. Kennedy suffers from spasmodic dysphonia. This disorder causes spasms of the larynx and makes those who suffer with it sound as if their voice is hoarse or quivering or even growling.
