The Time Barron Trump Caused A Stir On The View

Professor Pamela Karlan’s apology for her comments came the same day she’d made the controversial statements (via CNN). However, Barron Trump’s mother, Melania Trump, slammed the professor on X, formerly Twitter, stating that minors shouldn’t be involved in politics. “Pamela Karlan,” she tweeted, “you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering and using a child to do it.”

The comment section of Melania’s tweet also showed divided opinions. Several supported the then-First Lady’s reaction, with one commenting: “Thank you for defending your boundaries and your son, who happens to be a minor, without hesitation. Only [the] weak and cruel attack children.” Similarly, Matthew Kolken tweeted: “Karlan mocked and besmirched a child’s name by referencing him in proceedings he had nothing to do with for the benefit of a laugh-line. It was low brow.”

On the flip side, one X user called Melania out for being hypocritical: “Awesome, now stop being a hypocrite and hold your husband accountable to the same standards.” Someone with a similar view posted: “What ‘attack?’ … He has a son named [Barron]. Is the mere mention of his name an ‘attack’?”
