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.
Pamela Karlan: "I want to apologize for what I said earlier about the president's son. 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." pic.twitter.com/7lYiRWCKjw
— 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.

I bet she regrets it. She got called out and looked like an idiot on national TV.
She’s not sorry, though.
“WHY was this prune-faced, bitter, leftist dyke even there??”
Tucker had a segment on last night about this old crone. There was a clip where she talked about crossing the street to avoid walking past the Trump hotel in NY.
Honestly, would a rational, nominally adjusted human do such a thing?
BTW, Tucker Carlson is can’t miss lately. I love the way he laughs and mocks people like Karlan, and he’s taking on hedge funds and their destructive ways. Good stuff.
I doubt this women has children or siblings with children or friends with children.
“She is the perfect Broward county Democrat.”
She would fit right in here in Socialist Seattle.... what an absolutely vile woman.
I guess everybody is hypersensitive these days. I don’t find anything offensive in what that woman said.
A non-apology apology. They are good at that...................
It was a bad day for that “snarky, bisexual, Jewish wom[a]n” and the rest of the rats.
Yeah we have that horror sotomayor and the ginsberg.
These chicks probably think the same way.
Another bullShiite, weak, pussified, liberal-style excuse for an “apology.”
Inappropriate is the word that I believe describes the comment more correctly.
She is Gender Fluid as well. Can’t imagine any man or woman wanting to share a bed with her.
It’s a nasty person who can’t resist a snark even at inopportune times such as a hearing in which she is supposed to appear impartial.
Lucky shes not conservative, liberals would be calling for her to be fired
Doesn’t bother me that she riffs on Barron, that joke was so lame it must have been written by the brain-damaged Sheila Jackson-Lee. What a knee-slapper. Besides we’ve been suspicious of Sharia and Malaria for years, mostly for being beard children because you don’t get preggers when you have a wee wee. So it’s not like we’re mocking Obama’s kids - just the kids who live in the White House.
The fact that xe’s a cookie-cutter patchouli-soaked unkempt hirsute THC-addled smug condescending “law perfesser” with no notion of rule of law, because used to trying to use a bizarre Chewbacca Defense as a pretense to impeach a President is what bothers me.
What else do you expect from someone living in the blue bubble of academia?
“She is one angry loon.”
One of MANY
My oldest is applying to Stanford and Harvard. These loons have me thinking I don’t want to give either my money.
She’s not sorry, though.
I disagree.
She's the sorriest excuse for a law professor I have ever seen.
