Ex-NBC Exec Says Barron Trump Is ‘Fair Game’ Now That He’s 18 – Immediately Gets Shut Down
A former NBC executive is being hit with major backlash after he stated that Barron Trump is now “fair game” after he turned 18 on Wednesday.
Barron Is ‘Fair Game Now,’ Ex-NBC Executive Says
“Barron Trump turns 18 today. He’s fair game now,” retired NBCUniversal senior executive Mike Sington wrote on social media yesterday morning in a post that has since been deleted, according to Fox News.
Sington later tried to walk back the post after deleting it, though he noticeably did not apologize for it.
“I posted he was ‘fair game’ now, meaning, as an adult, he’s ‘fair game’ for criticism from the press,” Sington told Newsweek. “Someone pointed out to me ‘fair game’ could mean fair game to be harmed. I don’t wish physical harm on anyone, so I took it down. I listen to the comments and criticism I receive.”

Social Media Fires Back
Unfortunately for Sington, however, conservatives were quick to let him know that he’d taken things too far.
“This is super creepy,” wrote Garrett Ventry, former senior communications adviser to the Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans.
“This creepy NBC guy is completely broken. I wonder if he has kids? Nephews? Nieces? How old are they?” commented Michael R. Caputo, former assistant secretary of public affairs for the Department of Health and Human Services during the Trump administration.
“You sound like a creep dude,” wrote Javon A. Price, former aide to GOP Representative Byron Donalds. Brenden Dilley, host of political talk show The Dilley Show, agreed, saying, “Strong pedo vibe, dude.”
Previous Attacks On Barron
This is sadly far from the first time that Barron has been targeted by hateful leftists. Back in 2019, Stanford Law Professor Pamela Karlan was slammed when she made a joke at the expense of the then-13 year-old Barron while testifying before Congress, saying, “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.”

In 2018, the late actor Peter Fonda, the younger brother of “Hanoi Jane” Fonda, said that he wanted to “rip Barron Trump from his mother’s arms and put him in a cage with pedophiles.”
The year before that, Katie Rich, who was a writer for “Saturday Night Live” was suspended for saying on Twitter that Barron “will be this country’s first homeschool shooter.”
After the liberal comedian comedian Kathy Griffin posed with the simulated severed head of Donald Trump, the “Jeopardy!” host Ken Jennings responded by making a sick joke about Barron.
“Barron Trump saw a very long necktie on a heap of expired deli meat in a dumpster,” he said. “He thought it was his dad & his little heart is breaking.”
Unlike Sington, however, Karlan, Fonda, Rich, and Jennings all apologized for shamelessly using Barron to attack his father.
While what Sington said about Barron is sick, it is likely only the beginning of the deranged attacks that Barron will be hit with now that he is a legal adult. This all just goes to show how hateful and depraved leftists have become amidst their incurable cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
