A “Saturday Night Live” writer was blasted on social media for tweeting that President Trump’s youngest son would become a school shooter.
In a now deleted tweet, Katie Rich said Friday that 10-year-old Barron Trump “will be this country’s first homeschool shooter.”
The message was left up for about three hours before Rich deleted it. Facing a firestorm of criticism, she then made her Twitter account private, blocking public viewing of it.
Other Twitter users slammed Rich for targeting the child, with some calling her a “piece of trash” and others calling for a boycott of NBC, which airs “SNL”.
“Wow who thinks insulting kids is funny? Weak,” Twitter user @FriendlyJMC wrote.
“nothing speaks [sic] ‘tolerance’ more than bullying a 10yr old boy with ignorant rants #SNLnotFunny #BoycottNBC,” wrote @Jessies_June.
Rich, 33, has written for SNL since 2013.
Reports are swirling about Saturday Night Live writer Katie Rich allegedly being fired from her plum gig after her deplorable tweet about Barron Trump on the day of his father inauguration.
