A PBS reporter with a history of animus towards President Donald Trump claimed that Republicans were “seizing” on the comment Stanford University law professor Pamela Karlan made about the presidents youngest son.

“What we see now are Republicans seizing on a key moment,” PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor said during a break in the impeachment proceedings on Dec. 4. “Its when Pamela [Karlan]—she [is] a professor who is testifying and Democratic witness—she said that President Trump could name his son Barron but could not make him a baron.”

“She was referring to the fact she thinks President Trump at times can act like a king because hes abusing power but she was also making a joke about the fact that the Presidents 13-year-old son is named Barron and baron, of course, is a noble title and she was basically making the case that he cannot be made into nobility and he wont inherit essentially the presidency.”

Karlan had told lawmakers during the hearing: “While the president can name his son Barron, he cant make him a baron.”

Fire words from Professor Pamela S. Karlan.

“While the president can name his son Barron (Trump), he cant make him a Barron (a rank of nobility or title of honour in England, often hereditary).”

Wow.

“Fire words from Professor Pamela S. Karlan,” Alcindor opined on her Twitter page.

After Karlan apologized, Alcindor noted that the professor used the opportunity to attack Trump, “lacing her apology about mentioning Barron with criticism of President Trump and his choice to rarely apologize for actions he is criticized for taking.”

MSNBC correspondent Garrett Haake took a similar tact, saying during a break in the hearing that the remark “was obviously something you saw” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) “seize on, come at her very hard for.”

“Republicans I think are going to try to make that a viral moment from this hearing,” he said.
