Gabby Giffords: “Words once came easily, but today I struggle to speak. But I have not lost my voice'
Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords made an emotional appeal for new gun legislation and for support for nominee Joe Biden during the third night of the Democratic National Convention.
“Words once came easily, but today I struggle to speak. But I have not lost my voice,” continued Giffords, who completed the speech in a single take. “America needs all of us to speak out, even when you have to fight to find the words. We are at a crossroads. We can let the shooting continue, or we can act. We can protect our families, our future. We can vote.
Giffords was shot in the head in 2011 during a constituent meeting in Tucson, Ariz., and suffered brain damage that caused paralysis and limited her ability to speak. The video showed Giffords recovering in her hospital bed after the shooting, participating in rehab, rehearsing her speech and playing “America ” on a French horn.
