Vice President Mike Pence said the current impeachment hearings sunk to a “new low” after Stanford law professor Pamela Karlan referenced President Donald Trump’s 13-year-old son, Barron, while she testified.

“The impeachment hearings today reached a new low,” Pence told reporters in Michigan. “I just heard at the hearing today, one of the Democrats’ witnesses actually used the president and first lady’s 13-year-old son to justify their partisan impeachment. Democrats should be ashamed.”
