SNL suspends indefinitely writer who made Barron Trump joke

January 24 06:44 2017

A “Saturday Night Live” writer has been suspended indefinitely after tweeting that President Trump’s 10-year-old son Barron will become America’s “first homeschool shooter”.

While Rich managed to get in a dig on homeschoolers, she apparently is unaware that Barron isn’t even homeschooled.

Clinton posted on her personal Facebook and Twitter pages on Sunday afternoon that children of elected officials should be off limits to journalists and the media.

It is understood Rich, who has worked on Saturday Night Live since 2013, has been suspended by the show.

Recently, NBC revealed that Baldwin is scheduled to host the February 11 episode of SNL, for what will be a record-breaking 17th time hosting the program.

On Monday, the writer returned to Twitter to apologise for her actions: writing: “I sincerely apologise for the insensitive tweet. It was inexcusable and I am sorry”, Rich, who is now suspended from Saturday Night Live wrote. What’s the best single word to describe Trump bashers? Maybe Barron’s mother can school them.

Dan Harmon, creator of Community and co-creator of Rick and Morty, tweeted that he would hire her following the news of her suspension. Next to one photo where the boy looks during his dad’s inauguration, she writes: “I think Barron is on his Gameboy”.

While the bullying attacks have affected presidential children going back generations, it seems that some feel it’s ok to go after Barron due to their feelings about his father and because he is a child of economic privilege.

The video is basically a compilation of footages mainly taken from Donald Trump’s election victory speech, focusing on Barron who appears to be inexpressive, yawning and clapping in a way that she agreed as signs of autism.

“To say that an innocent 10-year-old boy is going to be a shooter – it just crosses the line in so many ways”, Goldman says. Amy’s character complained to her father, “It’s always the United States first, Amy second”. “Rise to the occasion“.
