In a now-deleted post, Mike Sington wrote on X: "Barron Trump turns 18 today. He's fair game now."
It was initially unclear what Sington meant by the tweet, but his post sparked mass outrage across social media with individuals speculating that the former NBC executive either has lustful eyes for the youngest Trump, wants to see him be physically harmed, or that Barron is no longer free from public scrutiny since he's now an adult.
After the backlash and humiliation, Sington told Newsweek: "I posted he was 'fair game' now, meaning, as an adult, he's 'fair game' for criticism from the press." Sington admitted to something of a blood lust for a media attack on the Trump son.
"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," said Sington.
Notable Republicans were quick to express their thoughts on Sington's post, in which the term "creepy" was used several times to describe his comments.
"This creepy NBC guy is completely broken. I wonder if he has kids? Nephews? Nieces? How old are they?" wrote Michael R. Caputo, former assistant secretary of public affairs for the Department of Health and Human Services during the Trump administration.
Garrett Ventry, president of GRV Strategies and former senior communications adviser to the Senate GOP Judiciary Committee, weighed in and said: "This is super creepy."
"You sound like a creep dude," added Javon A. Price, a former aide to Florida Rep. Byron Donalds.
Others accused Sington of pedophilic behavior.
"Strong pedo vibe, dude," wrote Brenden Dilley, host of political talk show The Dilley Show.
