MELANIA SAYS CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT OUT OF POLITICS, TWITTER REMINDS HER OF CAGED KIDS
(another NEWSWEEK all-caps headline, not retyping it, sorry)
https://www.newsweek.com/melania-trump-pamela-karlan-barron-cages-1475656
Melania Trump has been described as a hypocrite after making a rare public political statement on Stanford University professor Pamela Karlan's comment about Barron Trump.
The first lady was one of a number of people who reacted to Karlan's quip about the president's youngest son before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, December 4.
Karlan, a witness for the House Democrats, used Donald Trump's 13-year-old son as a reference point when asked to compare the president's conduct to that of a monarch.
. . .
In response, the First Lady, who runs the White House's anti-bullying Be Best initiative, tweeted: "A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics.
. . .
Reacting to the tweet, a host of social media users pointed out that under her husband's presidency, thousands of children were separated from their parents at the border and held in detention center "cages."
