The first lady is not kidding around.
Stanford constitutional law professor Pamela S. Karlan went viral during the impeachment hearings on Wednesday for tearing into Republican Rep. Doug Collins, and telling him that she was “insulted” by his suggestion that she hadn’t read the witness transcripts. What’s more, she stated that everything she has read “tells me that when President Trump invited, indeed demanded, foreign involvement in our upcoming election.”
Then she made this play on words:
"The Constitution states that there can be no titles of nobility. So while the president can name his son Barron, he can’t MAKE him a baron.”
And the Trump campaign is seizing on this particular line, where Karlan used the name of the president’s youngest son to make a point about the limitations of the president’s executive powers.
Her comment got a few laughs at the hearing, but Barron’s mother didn’t find it so funny.
First lady Melania Trump, whose “Be Best” initiative advocates against bullying, tweeted that Karlan “should be ashamed.”
Other supporters of the president didn’t find it so funny, either. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., told Karlan that her “little joke about Barron … makes you look mean” during the hearing.
Karlan apologized for her remark late Wednesday. “It was wrong of me to do that,’’ she said, according to the Associated Press. “I do regret it.”
Trump 2020 national press secretary Kayleigh McEnany released the following statement in response on Wednesday afternoon:
“Only in the minds of crazed liberals is it funny to drag a 13-year-old child into the impeachment nonsense,” she wrote. “Pamela Karlan thought she was being clever and going for laughs, but she instead reinforced for all Americans that Democrats have no boundaries when it comes to their hatred of everything related to President Trump.”

Top story at Daily Mail website.. GOOD. Let everyone see it as the take away from today’s worthless hearing.
Phuck the idiot professor, or whatever title, noble or not, she has...
Of course this lesbian skank has no problem with Chelsea Clinton making Millions of extortion through the Clinton Foundation.
Lesbians are such a loving bunch, ad progressive communism and the hatred is uncontrollable.
Oh wait.. Are they sisters maybe?
Kagan + Karlan = 0
GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz BLASTS Pamela Karlan’s comment on Barron Trump:
“When you invoke the president’s son’s name here, when you try to make a little joke referencing Barron Trump, that does not lend credibility to your argument. That makes you look mean.”
Spelling check...
Trump’s son’s name: “Barron”... that’s B-A-R-R-O-N.
Royal title: “Baron”... that’s B-A-R-O-N.
MORE:
“In American Baby Names, the meaning of the name Barron is ‘Noble fighter.’ “
Sounds like he’s named more for his father than for any British snob title.
“The Constitution states that there can be no titles of nobility. So while the president can name his son Barron, he can’t MAKE him a baron.”
It is appalling: that woman thought that line would be well received.
She is supposed to be a college graduate. And she prepares and delivers that joke on the electric television.
Leave the children alone. And get an adult to read your speeches before you humiliate yourself and have to apologize.

Absolutely! There should be NO titles in America! Then why do these bass turds able to refer to themselves as “Esquire” in their profession??
Karlan is one of the many ‘scum de la scum’ that has risen in the dem party. They don’t have any shining examples of decent and honorable people; just this kind low-life scum.
Pamela’s name means ‘like honey.’ To most people that brings visions is sweetness. To me, in this case, it’s more like the honey that gets spilled all over the counter & on the floor - it’s a huge mess, a pain to clean up & gets washed out down the sink or thrown away. No one wants it anymore.
Women need to police their own. Now, with unmerciful wrath.
“”Karlan is the lowest form of curb scum.””
Louis Gohmert said out in the hall in front of reporters when it was over, “Mama, don’t let your babies grow up to go to Stanford Law School.” PRICELESS!
I can see everyone walking away from there humming the song - I know I have been!
Looked suspiciously like it was scripted. The answer was delivered too quickly for an off-the-wall question.
I would argue that her “regret” is not the same as an apology.
>Well, the fact remains that Professor Karlan will likely never bear a child of her own body to name, even if she wanted to name him Baron, Elvis or Lenin.
Thank God she will never procreate more filthy screed
I consider 50 Middle age...but jmo...and I'm a no body!!!
Who also has a birthday in Feb...
I can see her being lesbian but any claim to “bi” is highly optimistic on her part.
