The second part of the quote- "can't be an elected official" is spin.

Wouldn’t including the first part (verifiable fact) with the second part (opinion that can easily be discounted) also be spin?

The comment called the statement "he's brain damaged, he can't be an elected official," spin.

Also often' spin" is something technically true, but presented in a way to give a specific impression. So "Brain damaged" in the common usages is pejorative. And of course, by the same token "difficulty with auditory processing" puts it in the least negative light.
