Melania Trump says impeachment witness 'should be ashamed' for mentioning son
The Hill ^ | 12/04/19 | MORGAN CHALFANT

Posted on 12/04/2019 6:11:44 PM PST by Libloather

First lady Melania Trump in a rare tweet criticized a legal expert for mentioning her son, Barron, during testimony as part of House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, tweeting that “a minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics.”

"Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it,” she tweeted Wednesday evening.

**SNIP**

“Kings could do no wrong because the king’s word was law, but contrary to what President Trump says, Article II does not give him the power to do anything he wants,” Karlan said.

“The Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the president can name his son Barron, he cannot make him a baron,” she continued.

The “kids” I mentioned are all grownups. And they all have ties to Burisma. Go get ‘em, Mr. President!

Obviously it was a lame attempt at humor. (Play on words on Baron and Barron). There was a financial magazine called Barron’s some years ago...published by the Wall Street Journal...maybe it’s still around.

If she goes out of her way to make a bad joke, she’s obviously not serious about the testimony.

Why shouldn’t a president ask for a high level crook to be checked on?

You used the word kids in the correct way, meaning offspring, and having nothing to do with age.

To think Trump would go after family members is un American and you need to purge yourself of this inclination which comes in the worst vein of progressivist attitudes.

The hate on all things Trump is because Clinton was close to the prize and was giving out IOU spoils to EVERYONE because she was that confident that she would be the one to seal the death of America as we know it.

I love it. This is definitive proof that the GOP is fighting back using tactics of the Leftist Supremacists. I love it.

But does that mean the days of being a traditional patriot need to be over?

Or the days of being a man?

Or the days of being intelligent?

Or decent?

Or good?

Traditional in what sense? The Sons of Liberty sense where they stood face to face with better organized and better armed Redcoats or the George H.W. Bush and Mitt Romney wimpy, namby-pamby, go-along-to-get-along, lie-there-like-a-doormat and let your political opponents walk all over you sense?

Or the days of being a man?

Standing up for liberty IS being a man

Or the days of being intelligent?

No

Or decent?

To a certain point.

Or good?

Fighting for freedom IS good.

P.S. demonicRATS view politics as another form of warfare. Republicans view politics as a beauty contest. In warfare, the aggressor sets the rules of engagement. We need to fight them at their level.

You forgot what you’re asking for is going after people’s kids.

Yeah. 49 year old kids. 49 year old kids who are having money transferred from my pocket to theirs for no other reason than their fathers are politicians.

I'm okay with it.
