Republicans voiced their outrage after former NBC senior executive Mike Sington said that former President Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron, was now "fair game" on his 18th birthday.
Barron, the former president's and former first lady Melania Trump's only child together, turned 18 on Wednesday. Barron has stayed out of the spotlight for the most part as his father campaigns for president. While Trump and his adult children from his previous marriages have been under fire in the press and online on several occasions, Barron has avoided such criticism.
In a since-deleted post on X, formerly Twitter, Sington on Wednesday posted a photo of Trump and Barron, writing: "Barron Trump turns 18 today. He's fair game now."
Sington told Newsweek via X direct message on Wednesday: "I posted he was 'fair game' now, meaning, as an adult, he's 'fair game' for criticism from the press.
So is he 'fair game' because he is turning 18?
And what does 'fair game' mean exactly?
Are they allowed to go to his college and pester him?

Why don't we ask Obama's daughters? Right Wing media seems to flip out anytime they smoke or go to a concert.
At least Mike Sington is giving Barron attention on his birthday. The same can not be said about Barron's father.

Barron's birthday was yesterday. He's no longer a minor.

Kind of like Republicans going after Hunter Biden to get to his father, right?

It’s pretty astonishing what you will defend.

People are going after Hunter Biden because he's a grown ass man, who broke laws and got his Vice President father involved in shady international business dealings. He needs to be held accountable.
Barron Trump has done nothing and said nothing. He's just a kid in high school who is most likely going off to college in the fall. He doesn't even show up to the campaign events or take family pictures that are used for campaigning etc etc.
