Expand What was so "horrible" about it? That she said that Trump couldn't do anything that he wanted to do or was it that she made a crappy joke about the POTUS' son's name? The quote in question: "Contrary to what President Trump has said, Article 2 [of the Constitution] does not give him the power to do anything he wants. 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."

I mean I get picking on kids is bush league but... oh the outrage The most surprising thing in her Wikipedia page under political views was that she advocated the US should help Ukraine fight Russia to avoid conflict with them on our own soil.

Expand Yikes....learned people testifying before Congress in an impeachment hearing should not be making tasteless jokes about people's kids. Ever! Isn't that the Left's entire case against Donald Trump? That he is tasteless. (And no, it's not a crime....but it should never be done....ever!) And apologizing for it, while nice, should not be the door opener to a job in the new Administration. In fact, it should be utterly disqualifying.....but we see here what really matters to Uncle Joe!

Expand Her comments were typical throwaway stuff. It’s an example of an otherwise educated person not using common sense in the appropriate venue, and it’s a non-issue for me. Besides, on a scale of 1-10, the sitting president has acknowledged groping 8 women, taken to task only because of his extreme hypocrisy on #istandwithher which in his case was actually #igottosecondbasewithher. If liberal voters support that sort of thing as they clearly do, it would be extremely hypocritical and discriminatory to shame this simply tone deaf female attorney.

Probably the kind of remark on a big stage that would have precluded her from an appointment in the Obama administration though. 1
