I understand your comment because I initially felt the same way; however, it's important to keep things in perspective and realize that the meaning and intention of this moment outweigh Jeff's verbiage. He clearly was not acting with malice by asking this question. Honestly, it's incredible that he felt moved enough to ask in the first place (on national TV, nonetheless). I feel like criticism like this is precisely why people outside of our community are afraid to ask questions. This is the most significant moment for the stuttering community in quite a while. I say a win is a win.
