“She's just another left wing activist putting on a rehearsed show for the cameras.”Apparently you can’t stay on script either because I didn’t ask what one thought of her but if she stepped over the line. Blah blah blah. This thread was about HER. Is it? |

Sorry, Fred. I didn't completely stay on script either, but I just kind of lost it with the comment made above!  |

This thread was about HER dumb comment. Can nobody stay on script?
Apparently you can’t stay on script either because I didn’t ask what one thought of her but if she stepped over the line. When does any thread stay on script? HA  |

When does any thread stay on script? HA  I don’t care if folks deviate from the script, that is unless they call out other people for doing it while they themselves are doing it. It would be a bloody miracle if any of these threads stayed on script. |

“Question.Did Professor Harlan cross the line?Or is this just manufactured outrage from the GOP to distract from the hearing?”Is it? Also, did your original post ask people to compare her comment to Trump's comments? Nope. Here let me repeat this for you... “I don’t care if folks deviate from the script, that is unless they call out other people for doing it while they themselves are doing it.” |

At the risk of once again being accused of trying to “silence” the poor, defenseless conservatives among us, a reminder: please ignore her. She just succeeded in totally disrupting this thread while you all respond to her trolling.

Much too much about nothing.
She used the name as a metaphor, to make a point. She did not insult the child. And why does Barron get a free pass when Amy Carter, Chelsea Clinton and the Obama girls were eviscerated?
The fact is once you choose to be in a public role, you are the one responsible for exposing your whole family to the comments and criticism by others.
What she said was not a personal attack on the child, who is old enough to understand if either of those parents were capable of explaining truthfully the situation.
Frankly I am tired of all this coddling of poor Barron. If his parents truly cared about this 'attack' on their poor baby, then maybe those parents should also care about all the separated children, or those killed by the gun violence in schools, or the dreamers, or the comments made about Greta Thurnberg. They lost the right to moral outrage with 'dimwit donnie's' first attack on any other parents' child.

I’ve heard much less about Barron than I ever did with Chelsea and the Obama’s girls and I am much more involved in politics than I ever was before. And mostly what I hear is comments about Trump’s apparent lack of involvement with his children when they were young in general, nothing negative about Barron himself. I think this is a good thing. |

It would have been much better not to mention him however it was in no way an attack on him. She did apologize.

She used the name as a metaphor, to make a point. She did not insult the child. THAT. She didn't call him a dog (Bill O'Reilly - Amy Carter); she didn't call him ugly (countless people about Chelsea Clinton); she didn't say he was an ape, or accuse his father of being born in Kenya (Donald TRUMP about the Obamas, Barack in particular, but also insults about Michelle and their daughters), or any such thing. She used his name as a metaphor. It was NOT an insult or any sort of a slur on BARRON. If anything, it was a veiled insult to Donald {and Melania, but let's face it, I'm 99.955% certain that Donald picked the name, knowing his history with it} on their reasons for giving him the name in the first place. |

I think with all the multitudes of things that Trump himself has said and done to disparage all sorts of other people almost daily for the last 3+ years, this doesn’t even deserve to be a blip on the radar.

I look at all of the things that the GOP should have gotten upset about in the last three years and hasn't. It is sad.

I am gobsmacked that this is something they are upset over. It's not like they made fun of Barron, or belittled him, or anything else that his father does on a daily basis. Good grief.
We are living in the freaking Twilight Zone.

She didn’t make any remarks against Barron himself, she simply made the connection to the title of Baron. The whole statement could not be made with a kid with any other name. She made no personal remarks, negative or positive about the actual person. She did not remotely insinuate this was something Trump had ever talked about doing.
What’s worse is Trump hardly acknowledges the kid at all.
This is simply a distraction from the actual events under investigation.

Among the many examples here that agree it wasn't out of line, I seem to remember the Trumps posing with a child who was orphaned after the Walmart shooting in El Paso. Using that baby as a photo op? Out of line.

The fact that Hunter Biden is named Hunter does not make him a hunter.
That is the exact same point and a linguistic comment, not a slam. No children were dragged into anything.
Ugh.
