Katie Rich, a writer for “Saturday Night Live,” has been suspended from her position at that show following a widely criticized post she made Friday on her personal Twitter account in which she mocked Barron Trump, the 10-year-old son of President Donald J. Trump.
She was suspended immediately after her tweet, and her suspension is indefinite, according to someone familiar with the plans at “S.N.L.,” who was not authorized by NBC to comment on personnel matters.
That tweet on Friday, during Mr. Trump’s inauguration ceremony, drew widespread condemnation, and Ms. Rich subsequently deleted the post and deactivated her Twitter account. Her name did not appear in the closing credits of “Saturday Night Live” in its broadcast on Saturday.

“Standing up for every kid also means opposing POTUS policies that hurt kids,” Ms. Clinton added.
And the next line is a real Barfomatic moment:
Commenters agreed. A typical reply: “Many did not give the same respect to the Obama children, which made me so sad. I will give respect to Barron because he deserves it no matter what his father does.”
!!!!! Did you catch that, dear readers? Unlike the past 8 years, when the evil, cowardly, bullying opponents of Obama mercilessly attacked his kids, the gentle, magnanimous, compassionate, soft-spoken opponents of Trump will refuse to say an unkind word about *his* kids.
“Trump has addressed this. His way, quietly and behind the scenes. Bank on it.”
I agree with that 100%
Proggie minions are adult children - spoiled 10-year-olds in much older bodies. Steeped in pubic school and TV indoctrination, followed often by university topping-off, then constantly reinforced by media and social media.
I suspect enlightening them will actually require cult deprogramming methods.
I can’t believe anyone still watches that junk.
I don't watch ANYTHING on the networks and only some of the cable stations, now and have done for about 20+ years.
Boy, NBC’s standards and practices threw the leaflet at her didn’t they!!!
Oh, I think it's being addressed. As other such line-crossings are and will be. Trump uses laws very effectively and I'm certain his attorney team is quite good.
I heard they sang “To Sir with Love” to a portrait of Obama. Isn’t that racist?
And STUPID Ivanka is still Chel's "FRIEND".
I don't trust Ivanka nor Jared ( who still is BFF with Chel's husband )as far as I can throw Trump Tower.
Maybe Trump won’t address it. Maybe Melania will handle it. When Rosie maligned Barron in a tweet she said she would be suing Rosie. Rosie changed her tone.
Probably still being paid.
This is just the Executive Producers Covering their Asses, Mr Trump was a big player in Hollywood and Knows where a whole lot of bodies are buried. Hollywood has their Very Own Special Set of Accounting Rules which just might have to be looked at in depth.
And madonna wants to blow up the White House and doesn’t think it’s illegal to say that.
These lefties think they get a free pass ‘cause they’re stars.

There..... Fixed it
I watched ONE time in the last 10 years or so just because I wanted to see and support Trump who was hosting.
I wish they would leave Barron alone. He’s just a kid.
Melania must be fuming over all of the disgusting things people are saying about her precious ten year old boy.
The people saying these things think that saying these things makes them cool or funny. They wod probably torture an animal just because it belonged to a Trump.
I wish we could deport THEM!
A BRILLIANT observation. I wonder how many Trump hating celebs will shut their mouths when the accounting rules that screw them out of money come under attack. Maybe not the a-listers but certainly the rank and file actors and extras and support staff. Folks who work on movies that make several hundred millions of dollars but end up losing money on 'paper'.
Perhaps someone who reads Freerepublic and has the ear of someone in the Trump admin should suggest they propose such a review... ;-)
One of the easiest ways for Hollywood Entertainers to Launder Money, actually one used quite often by most. Is to have your distributions funneled offshore and deposited in to a Foreign Bank, then you have a Visa/Debit attached to that account. This can be Used ANYWHERE in the US without raising an eyebrow from the IRS!!!
TAX FREE INCOME
Last night she was fired. Today she is suspended. Tomorrow she is off on an all expenses paid vacation to the tropical island of her choice.
And adolescent program.
A program long of tooth, short of humor.
