Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan said she apologized Wednesday evening for invoking President Donald Trumps 13-year-old son, Barron Trump, to criticize the president during the House Judiciary Committees 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 presidents son earlier in the hearing. While the president can name his son Barron, he cant 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 presidents son, she said. It was wrong of me to do that. I wish the president would apologize, obviously, for the things that hes done thats 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 Barrons mother, First Lady Melania Trump, saying Karlan should be ashamed of the stunt.

Another half-hearted non-apology apology from the Liars of the Left.
Stuff it, beyotch. You made an ass of yourself. Own it.
Had to find a picture after your description... She's no lipstick lesbian that's for sure!
As to your question.... who the hell knows?!
LOL!
Back in the 60s, feminists made a big d**n deal out of the fact that men viewed them as "too emotional" and "not logical enough" to deserve full equality and equal pay. This harridan is the poster girl for emotional overdrive. Why didn't anyone have the caution not to use her for this important task?
OTOH, score one for the patriot side.
Rude to bring ethnicity into it.
To be fair; that’s how that woman described herself.
In another thread, it’s been posted that she has never even passed a bar exam.
OK; I didn't subject myself to watching it, so I didn't know that; point taken.
I try to look out for how FR is perceived by newcomers, or even those who lie in wait for us to exhibit the left's worst stereotypes of conservatives.
That was why I put quotes around the words. The tape of her saying that is on you tube and she said it at a public forum.
I think he created a new F word, fits perfectly....
I put that description in quotes because Karlan herself used those very words to describe herself.

[Karlan] once described herself as a snarky, bisexual, Jewish women at the 2006 ACS National Convention.
Agree - and further , you cant demand an apology while making one in good faith.
Seems to me that Dem. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee knew the answer before she “axed”,the question!
But would the Democrats, do such tricks?
Folks, I am sorry to say this....but it really has come to war with these leftists.
