The impeachment hearing against President Donald Trump took an ugly turn when a professor of law from the prestigious Stanford took the name of his son Barron during her testimony before a Congressional panel.
'And I'll just give you one example that shows you the difference between him and a king, which is the Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility. So, while the president can name his son Baron, he can't make him a baron,' Professor Karlan said amidst laughter from the audience.
The impeachment hearing against President Donald Trump took an ugly turn when a professor of law from the prestigious Stanford took the name of his son Barron during her testimony before a Congressional panel.
First Lady Melania Trump slammed Professor Pamela S Karlan, Kenneth, and Harle Montgomery Professor of Public Interest Law and Co-Director, Supreme Court Litigation Clinic, Stanford Law School, for involving her 13-year-old son during the impeachment proceedings by House Judiciary Committee.
Karlan later apologised.
It all started in response to a question from Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
바카라So, kings could do no wrong because the king's word was law. And contrary to what President Trump has said, Article 2 does not have--give him the power to do anything he wants,바카라 she said.
바카라And I'll just give you one example that shows you the difference between him and a king, which is the Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility. So, while the president can name his son Baron, he can't make him a baron,바카라 Karlan said amidst laughter from the audience. Republican Congresswoman Matt Gaetz confronted Karlan about her using the name of Barron during the hearing.
바카라When you invoke the president's son's name here, when you try to make a little joke out of referencing Baron Trump, that does not lend credibility to your argument. It makes you look mean,바카라 she said.
바카라It makes you look like you're attacking someone's family, the minor child of the president of the United States,바카라 Gaetz said.
First Lady Melania slammed Karlan for invoking her son during the hearing.
바카라A 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,바카라 the First Lady said in a tweet.
The First Lady was joined by the White House Press Secretary Stephani Grisham on twitter.
바카라Classless move by a Democratic 'witness'. Prof Karlan uses a teenage boy who has nothing to do with this joke of a hearing (and deserves privacy) as a punchline,바카라 she said.
바카라And what바카라s worse, it바카라s met by laughter in the hearing room. What is being done to this country is no laughing matter,바카라 Grisham said.
바카라The worst part is it was obviously rehearsed beforehand,바카라 Grisham said in another tweet.
Karlan later apologised for her remarks.
바카라I want to apologise for what I said earlier about the president's son. It was wrong of me to do that. I wish the president would apologise, obviously, for the things that he's done that's wrong. But I do regret having said that,바카라 Karlan said during the hearing later in the day.
