Pamela Karlan ‘should be ashamed’ of her Barron Trump punch line at the impeachment hearings.

Breitbart: Matt Gaetz schools Pamela Karlan for attacking Barron Trump.

When Karlan tried to cut him off, saying, “When the president calls — ,” Gaetz immediately shut her down. “Excuse me, you don’t get to interrupt me on this time.”

He then blasted the joke earlier in the hearing, where she invoked the president’s teenage son, Barron.

“Let me also suggest that when you invoke the president’s son’s name here, when you try to make a little joke out of referencing Barron Trump that does not lend credibility to your argument, it makes you look mean,” he said. “It makes you look like you’re attacking someone’s family — the minor child of the president of the United States.”

He then closed by asking witnesses if they could raise their hand if any of them had “personal knowledge of a single material fact in the Schiff report.”

His question was met with blank stares and silence.

Market Watch: Melania Trump says Pamela Karlan ‘should be ashamed’ of her Barron punch line at the impeachment hearings.

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 hadn’t read the witness transcripts. What’s 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:

‘While the president can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron’: Prof. Karlan uses the Trump family to outline the Constitution’s rule that there can’t be titles of nobility.

First lady Melania Trump, whose “Be Best” initiative advocates against bullying, tweeted that Karlan “should be ashamed.”

    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.

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. Hunter Biden is supposedly off-limits according to liberals, but a 13-year-old boy is fair game. Disgusting.”

Disgusting behavior from Democrats. We expect it, we know it's coming. It's never a matter of 'if' - only 'when' and 'how much'.
