Appearing on The Megyn Kelly Show last week (14 November), Eric recalled the incident, saying: “Do you remember that whole controversy where [Barron] went up to Biden … and [the media] had all these like lip-reading experts [analyse it], and they’re like, ‘Barron just told Biden to go F himself’?”
He continued: “So one night … I call Barron, I go, ‘Buddy, look, what did you actually say?’ And he goes, you know, like – it was something so polite I almost wouldn’t even get it right – but [something], like, ‘Congratulations and best of luck to you’ – or something like that.”
Eric went on to describe the exchange as “something very respectful,” adding that Barron “doesn’t have that in him.”
“He’s a nice guy,” Eric said. “He’s probably thinking it. He definitely has it up here [motioning to his head], but like, he’s too courteous to actually go out there and say it. Barron’s a really nice kid.”
Melania’s Reported Reaction
Despite the positive tone of Eric’s comments, sources claim Melania was far from pleased that Barron had been discussed publicly.
