As we told you earlier, during House Judiciary Committee impeachment inquiry testimony, Stanford Law Prof. Pamela Karlan used President Trump’s son to attempt to make a point about monarchs:
At impeachment hrng, Stanford law professor Pamela Karlan notes the Constitution bars titles of nobility and that the Founders wanted to avoid the absolute rights of monarchs: "While the President can name his son Barron, he can't make him a baron." This drew applause

The Trump campaign and first lady Melania Trump quickly denounced the comment.
Quite a while later, somebody might have discovered Karlan’s testimony was resonating poorly:
Heh… Some staffer must be monitoring Twitter. The professor just apologized for making a joke about Barron Trump.

Karlan subsequently tried to reel her previous comments back in, but it didn’t happen without an immediate shift back to Trump:

The quick shift back to Trump doesn’t exactly sell the “apology” as totally authentic:
Therefore, Pamela Karlan's so-called "apology" wasn't real and genuine. It's #FakeNews https://t.co/iCvliTo68w

That’s a Non-Apology.

Yeah, most likely.
