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 hadnt read the witness transcripts. Whats 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 cant MAKE him a baron.
And the Trump campaign is seizing on this particular line, where Karlan used the name of the presidents youngest son to make a point about the limitations of the presidents executive powers.
Her comment got a few laughs at the hearing, but Barrons mother didnt 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 didnt 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.

I ignored today. Heard on the news that Trump’s youngest son was attacked. I wondered why would they attack Eric. Was shocked to find out it was Baron.
I would think a law professor would know better than to stoop that low. I hope she loses her job and cushy lifestyle. What an ugly angry broad she is.
Which part makes her more hated in your mind: Being a Jew or being Bi?
Another leftist mental case shows her ugly ass in public.
recalling when the D’s had a president who would speak up when someone insulted his child.......
In response to Washington Post Music Critic Paul Hume’s December 6, 1950, review of Margaret Truman’s singing performance at Constitution Hall, stating,
“Miss Truman is a unique American phenomenon with a pleasant voice of little size and fair quality - (she) cannot sing very well - is flat a good deal of the time-more last night than at any time we have heard her in past years - has not improved in the years we have heard her - (and) still cannot sing with anything approaching professional finish.”
President Truman responded with the following letter to Hume:
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
Dec. 6, 1950
Mr. Hume:
I’ve just read your lousy review of Margaret’s concert. I’ve come to the conclusion that you are an “eight ulcer man on four ulcer pay.”
It seems to me that you are a frustrated old man who wishes he could have been successful. When you write such poppy-cock as was in the back section of the paper you work for it shows conclusively that you’re off the beam and at least four of your ulcers are at work.
Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you’ll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!
Pegler, a gutter snipe, is a gentleman alongside you. I hope you’ll accept that statement as a worse insult than a reflection on your ancestry.
H.S.T.
Sure but in realitythat realm to which this woman and her admirers will ultimately answershe acted like a degenerate fool.
To be fair, Barron really wasn’t attacked. His name was used as a joke as a blast on Trump. That said, she should have never done it because she brought a minor into it...even if it was just a blast on Trump for choosing that name.
It was very scripted. She didnt make that up on the fly. It backfired.
That's an affirmation to a leading question and the AP scribe didn't even bother to conceal her vapidity.
Maybe he wasn’t attacked physically but imagine the shock of hearing your name during the most vicious lies. Kid is busy being a kid and then hears his name on the news. (He most probably does not listen to the news...but still)
go get a puppers
Your post makes absolutely no sense.
She did not attack Barron. She attacked Trump for naming him Barron. The problem is that he is a minor. If she had been talking about an adult it would have been different.
And yes, I do try to be fair and and not act like an unhinged lib.
Turley is a lib. He was fair and impressive. He did not act like an unhinged lib with an agenda to take down Trump
She was out of line. But she didn’t attack Barron physically or any kind of way. She thought she was being clever in her attack of his Father. Unfortunately for her, she used a minor to do it.
She is an asshole. She knew what she was saying. Her back track is pure crap.
Being UGLY.
Eh mentioning him isn’t really that big of a deal.
The painful part was it was just a terrible joke.
