Katie Rich: Saturday Night Live Writer Suspended, Apologetic for Barron Trump Tweet
Katie Rich says she’s very sorry for going way overboard when it comes to Barron Trump.
But the Saturday Night Live writer issued her mea culpa long after her controversial Tweet went public and she got suspended by producers as a result.
Rich has worked for SNL since 2013, writing exclusively these days for the show’s famous Weekend Update segment.
During Donald Trump’s inauguration on Friday afternoon, she jumped on social media and wrote the President’s 10-year old son:
Barron will be this country’s first homeschool shooter.
Yeah. She went there. Is it any wonder this so-called joke led to severe backlash against Rich?
You can easily argue that any comment about Barron Trump is off-limits, considering his age and considering he has nothing to do with his father’s personality or politics.
But a quip about the kid growing up to shoot up a school? YIKES.
Rich deleted the Tweet a few hours after it went viral, but it was way too little and most definitely too late.
According to Deadline, Rich was not listed in the credits for this past Saturday’s episode and is on “indefinite” suspension.
She has since made her Twitter account private and written the following apology:
I sincerely apologize for the insensitive tweet. I deeply regret my actions & offensive words. It was inexcusable & I’m so sorry.
The issue of leaving Barron Trump alone has become a significant one in the days since his father was sworn in as President of the United States.
Modern Family actress Julie Bowen, for example, got in trouble as well on Friday for live-blogging the inauguration and focusing many of her comments on Barron.
Even though none of her cracks were really at Barron’s expense. They just used his expressions as a way to slam his controversial father.
But the topic of First Children has always been off-limits across the aisle.
For all the negative things critics have said over the years about Barack Obama, no one in any position of respect or authority dared to say a word about Sasha or Malia.
After learning about the cyberbullying that was aimed at Barron, Monica Lewinsky actually came to the defense of Donald’s youngest son.
The ex-mistress of Bill Clinton has made it her mission to take on cyberbullying, following all the flak she took back in the day for her affair with the former President.
“All children need to be protected from bullying + mockery. (incl #barrontrump). let’s be better than this,” Lewinsky Tweeted Monday.
Melania Trump has also said her main platform as First Lady will be to speak out strongly and to create some kind of movement against online harassment.
(We assume she’ll start with her husband.)
Chelsea Clinton, who was only 12 years old when she first moved into the White House and whose mother was nearly elected in November, also came to the defense of Barron Trump on social media.
She wrote:
“Barron Trump deserves the chance every child does-to be a kid. Standing up for every kid also means opposing POTUS policies that hurt kids.”
Perfectly said, don’t you agree?
Aim your wrath at the man who deserve it, Donald Trump.
Leave his young kid alone.

Julie Bowen BASHED for Barron Trump Inauguration Jokes: What Did She Say?
Most of Hollywood is very unhappy that Donald Trump is now President of the United States.
It’s true. See what a significant number of celebrities had to say about Trump being sworn in to office on Friday NOW.
But Julie Bowen is under particular fire from the social media community for the way in which she went about making her anti-Trump feelings known.
The Modern Family actress live-blogged the inauguration, focusing a great deal of her commentary on Barron Trump, the 10-year old son of Donald and Melania.
She didn’t insult the child or anything. Not really.
But many followers still thought Bowen was out of bounds in even bringing Barron into the picture.
“I think Barron is on his Gameboy. Can’t say I can blame him,” Bowen wrote as a caption to the following image.
She sort of invited confused criticism with this quip.
Wrote one critic quickly after the photo went live: “Gameboy…..is he at the 1988 inauguration?”
And this was one of the more tame responses Bowen received for her posts.
“Barron, a voting majority shares your horror. #barronforpresident,” Bowen captioned the next picture, implying that Barron was disgusted his father is now Commander-in-Chief.
“He is a 10-year old boy. Lay off him,” shot back a commenter, while another added:
“What is your problem? Are you an adult? You should feel ashamed bashing a child! Would you like it if someone was talking shit about your boys? Grow up!!”
From there, Bowen continued to hint that Barron is ashamed of his dad.
“When your dad is boppin’ his head to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. #dadshame #barronforpresident,” she wrote.
Cue the backlash!
“Eww don’t make fun of a child! You’re no better than him for doing this,” penned a follower.
Another expounded on the critiques offered above, penning a pretty long reply to Bowen that reads:
“It takes a big woman to make a fun of a child. If you don’t support Trump, why post anything at all, especially, his innocent child. I guess that makes you feel good about yourself. I wonder how you would feel if someone starting putting your kids out there and make fun of them???
“I’m done with you, UNFOLLOW and not watching anymore. You shame me coming from Maryland.”
Lastly, Bowen shared the snapshot below and wrote: “Hey @CNN! Don’t box the Barron!”
We’ll just rundown a handful of the more pointed comments left on Bowen’s page in response to this line of joking and insulting:
And done with self-centered celebrities that think it’s okay to have the “wit” to make fun of a 10 year old.
I will officially stop watching your show. No matter who you voted for it is what it is and time to quit bitching and come together as a country for the greater good. But to call out a ten year old boy on social media is a new low.
I cant believe @itsjuliebowen posted this! disgraceful!!!! You just lost a fan. Go back living in the world of Hollywood… Unbelievable!
Karmas a BITCH just like you. Mocking a child, you’re PATHETIC.
You are hateful Julie. All of my friends have unfollowed you today. As a mother, how cruel of you to pick apart a 10 year old child.
Was Bowen really slamming Barron at all with any of these comments?
Does it matter? Should she refrained from mentioning him at all, given his age?
“I love that Barron is a kid being a kid,” she wrote in her defense after the criticism continued last night.
“My kids would be a horror show at a public event! Just trying to keep it light.”
