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.
That didn’t take long. Just like poor Kathy Griffin was losing contracts and her life was ruined but she’s baaaack.
Double Standard.
Imagine if it were Malia or Sasha....

See how this used to work?
SNL is too dumb to figure it out.

From the above.
Sort of like All libs. NO condemnation, NO consequences and No repercussions. Until Palin showed up.
You can’t make a joke in the liberal age unless you are a liberal.
That is the offense.
They claim the kids are off limits and I tend to agree, but then they target Barron.
Lord if A conservative pointed out Malias behavior or Chelsea’s stupidity... Oh Wait... they are adults.
Stupid adults.
It’s AFU AGAIN
SQL stack hosed? DOS attack? NORKS?

She doesn’t go to a Church, btw.
She was “suspended” during their Summer hiatus, AKA Vacation.
Was it a paid suspension? (Vacation = reward)
Well, at least we now know how long “indefinitely” is. Apparently not very long, actually.
Used to watch SNL a lot back in the day,, when it was funny.. which it hasn’t been in a few decades.
Of course. This is what liberals do when they are not constantly watched and held to task.
Freedom requires constant vigilance.
