Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan said she “apologized” Wednesday evening for invoking President Donald Trump’s 13-year-old son, Barron Trump, to criticize the president during the House Judiciary Committee’s hearing on impeachment — adding that she hopes the president apologizes for his past actions.

— CSPAN (@cspan) December 4, 2019 Karlan quickly changed topics during questioning from Rep. Greg Stanton (D-AZ) to walk back an out-of-nowhere jab at the president’s son earlier in the hearing. “While the president can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron,” she had quipped to Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX). After being called out for the play on words, she took on a more conciliatory tone — while maintaining that the president remains in the wrong for unrelated actions.
“I want to apologize for what I said earlier about the president’s son,” she said. “It was wrong of me to do that. I wish the president would apologize, obviously, for the things that he’s done that’s wrong, but I do regret having said that.”
The play on words drew swift backlash from the White House and Republican lawmakers. Less than an hour before she revisited her statement, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) entered into the record a social media post from Barron’s mother, First Lady Melania Trump, saying Karlan “should be ashamed” of the stunt.

She is one angry loon.
Not an apology, you pinheaded pissant political slut whore.
sorry toots karlan, that’s not an apology.
President Trump has nothing to apologize for. He did nothing wrong.
Help me out here. Is that a real apology when she says the President should also apologize for all of his actions?
She seems like a rabid partisan b**** who cannot resist getting her partisan digs in, no matter what the subject being discussed is.
She could have been on the Supreme Court if Hillary had been elected ; think about that.
That is NOT an apology. That is the professor acknowledging that she was caught. The President has nothing to apologize for.
That's an apology? Another arrogant, self-important, person they dug up whose opinion is anti-Trump. Wouldn't it be refreshing to have someone testify based on the facts?
Perhaps Jessica Kwong can write (LOL) lie a nice article about the young man.
The poster child for arrogant, pompous, holier then thou academics that feel they are so much better then the real people. It is no wonder the kids being subjected to this crap they spew come out hating the country.
Ugly from the inside out.
“She is one angry loon”.
She was on Hitlery’s Supreme Court list.
She is the perfect Broward county Democrat.
Her comment about Barron, were, I suppose, meant to be funny. I didn’t find it particularly offensive or dangerous to the boy, just plain stupid.
What was more striking to me - WHY was this prune-faced, bitter, leftist dyke even there?? She had no connection to Trump, Ukraine, Russia, State Department or anything connected to the proceedings at all.
It was a total embarrassment.
That’s not an apology. You can’t bash your apologee when you are the apologer and call it an apology.
She couldn’t do it without taking one more dig at Trump.
If that bitter, dumb, lesbian hag is their “star” they are really screwed.
Wow...she is one nasty person. That was not an apology.
Sorry lady, but there is no quid pro quo in an apology... you are either sorry or you’re not.
The not apology. You caught that, too.
Yeah...she’s one of their “actresses” in this theatrical production. But, I think she’s just another bimbo lawyer
