The “Saturday Night Live” writer who was suspended “indefinitely” after tweeting an insensitive message about President Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, has apparently been reinstated by the show.
Katie Rich, 34, was credited as a writer for Thursday night’s episode of “Weekend Update: Summer Edition” after she was suspended from “SNL” in January for saying that 11-year-old Barron “will be this country’s first homeschool shooter.” Her tweet led to widespread condemnation, and she subsequently deleted it before tweeting out an apology.
“I sincerely apologize for the insensitive tweet,” she wrote at the time. “I deeply regret my actions & offensive words. It was inexcusable & I’m so sorry.”
(TWEET-AT-LINK)
President Trump criticized Rich for the move, saying in an interview with Sean Hannity: “Well, ‘Saturday Night Live’ -- a person from ‘Saturday Night Live’ was terrible. It’s a failing show. It’s not funny. Alec Baldwin’s a disaster. He’s terrible on the show and, by the way, I don’t mind some humor but it’s terrible. But for them to attack, for NBC to attack my 10-year-old son. It’s a disgrace. He’s a great boy. And it’s not an easy thing for him. Believe me.”
Rich was not credited on any of last season’s episodes after the incident, but her name returned to the credits on Thursday. It’s unclear if she is only writing for the four-episode summer special or if she will return as a writer for the show’s upcoming season this fall.
Of course they did.
Is Katie really sorry? Or is Katie a stupid liberal bitch who enjoys writing snark for a living?
Now that the light of public attention (and condemnation) has passed her by, the cockroach comes crawling back.
I’m so surprised.
How long would the suspension have been for an equivalent comment about one of the Obama girls?
Why did Katie think it was ok to make any comments about Barron Trump in the first place? Would she ever have made any comments about the Obama girls??? Or would her filter , such as it is, tell her the Obama daughters are strictly off limits? If so then why wouldn’t she also consider Barron Trump off limits in the first place???
So what was the “insensitive Tweet”?
Who didn’t know this would happen?
If it had been one of the little obozo slut/slut-in-training the writer would have been flogged in public and her entire family banned for life.
I’ll take stupid liberal bitch for $500 Alex.
Barron “will be this country’s first homeschool shooter.”
paid or unpaid holiday
Not surprised at all, usual treatment of liberals in the ‘POP’ culture (is it culture?) Let the crime sink out of the line of sight and bring the ‘talent’ back to do it again.
Of course, on my part, I ‘think’ I last watched SNL (doesn’t that sound like snarl) in the previous century, so this makes it unlikely for that to change. Hollyweird being hip and lib as usual.
But as usual the rotten, vicious leftwinger skates and is back doing business at the old stand.
I’m betting on “paid”.
“I’ll take stupid liberal bitch for $500 Alex.”...
She has NO IDEA of what she speaks. I know of a family who home schools their DAUGHTERS who all are accomplished YOUNG shooters. (Amy 9 and her younger sister Abby who is 7)
Stuff it where the sun doesn’t shine missy!
Something like “read the frigen article”
she would be on death row now. she’s white? she’d be dead now.
Termination, and you’d never write again.
At that point, you might as well become a conservative. But you’d still likely be untouchable.
Is FR under attack, again? Having a heckuva time loading. :/
