Katie Rich, a “Saturday Night Live” writer who mocked Barron Trump, the youngest child of President Donald Trump, in a tweet during Friday’s inaugural festivities, has been suspended from the late-night comedy show.

Rich was suspended immediately after the tweet, and will be suspended indefinitely, according to a source familiar with the matter but not authorized to comment publicly.

In the original message, Rich predicted that 10-year-old Barron would become “the country’s first homeschool shooter.” The message was soon deleted by Rich, who also temporarily deactivated her personal Twitter account, but not before it drew widespread condemnation online.

Of course not - picking on kids is just bad PR for liberals, though, so they have to issue a pro forma apology and suspension. Note, however, that the attacks on this 10 year old boy aren't stopping - Rosie O'Donnell, Julie Bowen, this SNL writer. All liberal women, going after a child.

Just continuing the tradition that started when they went after Palin’s kids.

The one thing I’ve noticed about really good kids is that they can relate to younger children appropriately and lovingly. I learned all I need to know about Barron by watching him interact with his nieces and nephews...he’s a good kid.

Bet a dollar she’s still drawing a paycheck - just won’t be named in the credits. Libtards never have to say they’re sorry and mean it.

Maybe she will use this time to prepare to run for Senate like another lamebrained former SNL writer did.

Self-hating Jew. Lives in a liberal bubble where it’s acceptable to sit around at cocktail parties talking smack about blacks, illegal alien dishwashers & nanny’s, practicing Jews, Conservatives, Republicans, LEOs, heterosexuals, Christians and homeschoolers because, well because she lives in a bubble. Unfortunately for that slag liberal douche, she forgot that Twitter isn’t inside her bubble.

She’s been talking like that her entire life, but now she gets caught and is facing career suicide so now she’s finally sorry?

Nope. Ain’t buying what she’s selling. She’s an idiot and my enemy. She hates me and everything I love and believe in.

Piss on her. She’s ugly, inside and out.

Meh.

“I deeply regret my actions & offensive words. It was inexcusable & I’m so sorry,” said Rich...

She forgot to add: “I meant what I said - just sorry that I got caught.”
