First Lady Melania Trump has weathered all criticism with poise and grace ever since arriving in the White House with President Donald Trump in 2016.
But Wednesday, Mrs. Trump fought back.
She had a message for the Democrats: Keep my son’s name out of your political games.
Mrs. Trump lashed out at the Democrats and one of their star witnesses of the ongoing impeachment hearing, Stanford University Professor Pamela Karlan, whoy mocked the Trump’s young son, Barron, during her testimony.
Karlan made comment while responding to a simple question: What’s the difference between a President and a king?
She responded, “The Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the president can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron.”
That crossed for Melania.
Mrs. Trump broke her usual silence on Wednesday, calling out Karlan by name in a fierce public response.
She tweeted out, “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.”

To reiterate, these words came from a law professor hailing from Stanford, academically one of the best schools in the nation — and still, she decided to go on national television and use an innocent kid like Barron Trump for her political moment on the stage.
Political attacks are fair game across the aisle.
But attacking children? Too far… even for Democrats.
