Melania Trump Fires Back After John Henson Made ‘Inappropriate’ Tweet About Son Barron

Melania Trump issued a statement after John Henson made a joke about her son Barron.

The First Lady has always made it clear that her priority is her son, Barron. Whenever someone mentions his name in an inappropriate way, the FLOTUS does not let it pass.

Just recently, the Food Network host, Henson, made a tweet implying that President Donald Trump is not Barron’s real dad.

“I hope Barron gets to spend today with whoever his dad is,” he wrote on Twitter on Sunday (June 21), Father’s Day.

Melania released a statement through her spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, to remind Henson and the rest to spare Barron.

“Sadly we continue to see inappropriate and insensitive comments about (President Donald Trump's) son,” Grisham said in a statement issued to Daily Caller on Monday.

“As with every other administration, a minor child should be off-limits and allowed to grow up with no judgment or hate from strangers and the media.”

Henson already deleted the controversial tweet. He also responded to one netizen who commented on his post, he said that it was a joke and he was aiming for the POTUS not Barron.

“With respect, I think you dissecting it is the issue. The joke was aimed at Trump and the mere mention of Barron’s name doesn’t mean it’s at his expense,” Henson wrote.

This isn’t the first time Melania defended Barron. In December, Pamela Karlan, a professor of law at Stanford Law School who also served as U.S. Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Voting Rights in the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Division from 2014 to 2015, mentioned Barron’s name during the House Judiciary Committee’s first impeachment hearing.

“And I’ll just give you one example that shows you the difference between him and a king, which is the Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the president can name his son Barron, he cannot make him a baron,” Kaplan said.

Melania fired back at Kaplan for the mere mention of Barron’s name.

“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,” Melania wrote on Twitter.

However, several felt that the FLOTUS was overreacting because for them, Kaplan didn’t go after Barron. One netizen said that it was “nothing more than a creative play on words.”
