Sington’s comments immediately garnered backlash from users on X, which resulted in Sington deleting his tweet.
Some speculated Sington was referring to Sington was now “fair game” to date others speculated the NBC executive will now greenlight hit pieces on Barron.

Per Newsweek:
Republicans voiced their outrage after former NBC senior executive Mike Sington said that former President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron, was now “fair game” on his 18th birthday.
Barron, the former president’s and former first lady Melania Trump’s only child together, turned 18 on Wednesday. Barron has stayed out of the spotlight for the most part as his father campaigns for president. While Trump and his adult children from his previous marriages have been under fire in the press and online on several occasions, Barron has avoided such criticism.
In a since-deleted post on X, formerly Twitter, Sington on Wednesday posted a photo of Trump and Barron, writing: “Barron Trump turns 18 today. He’s fair game now.”
Sington told Newsweek via X direct message on Wednesday: “I posted he was ‘fair game’ now, meaning, as an adult, he’s ‘fair game’ for criticism from the press.
Why is @MikeSington preying on Barron Trump like this?
Children are clearly supposed to be off-limits in politics.
What kind of a sick person does something like this?
I know! A former NBC executive.
That explains everything. pic.twitter.com/MoP1GfhdlG
