Even Chelsea Clinton slammed SNL, maybe she'll run for potus in the future. (poor kid the's got her parents looks)
A Saturday Night Live writer has been suspended indefinitely after a joke on Twitter about U.S. President Donald Trump’s 10-year-old son Barron.
A person familiar with the situation confirmed to the Star on Monday that SNL writer Katie Rich was suspended indefinitely by NBC, immediately after she tweeted on Friday that Barron would be America’s first “homeschool shooter.”
The tweet was quickly deleted and Rich’s Twitter account was reset, and her name was reportedly missing from the credits of last weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live. The only tweet now on Rich’s account is an apology about the joke.
“I sincerely apologize for the insensitive tweet. I deeply regret my actions and offensive words. It was inexcusable and I’m so sorry,” Rich tweeted on Monday afternoon.
The now-deleted joke drew criticism from media outlets and social media outlets across the world.
Barron Trump was widely seen at Friday’s inauguration in Washington, D.C. However, even Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of Trump’s former presidential opponent Hillary Clinton, was quick to defend the boy from any attacks that came with the spotlight.
“Barron Trump deserves the chance every child does — to be a kid,” Chelsea wrote on Facebook, garnering over 100,000 reactions.
