When you go so far left that you get in trouble from SNL, you know you’ve gone too far. That’s the lesson one writer learned after she attacked Donald Trump’s 10-year-old son on Twitter.
After her tweet about President Trump’s youngest son sparked anger and resulted in her suspension, Saturday Night Live writer Katie Rich has apologized. Rich says she regrets the tweet that she now calls “inexcusable.”
Rich, who’s one of around 30 writers listed in Saturday Night Live’s credits, issued her apology Monday about the tweet that was evidently meant to be humorous but was widely criticized for attacking a 10-year-old.
A person familiar with the situation tells NPR that the suspension was levied shortly after Rich’s tweet during Friday’s presidential inauguration, and that the suspension is indefinite. Rich deleted the tweet a few hours after it was published.
“I sincerely apologize for the insensitive tweet,” Rich wrote Monday. “I deeply regret my actions & offensive words. It was inexcusable & I’m so sorry.”
Don’t give SNL too much credit. While the show suspended Rich, they don’t seem interested in letting her go completely. People have started a petition online to force her out, but it’s unlikely that it will succeed.
If Rich attacked one of Obama’s daughters, maybe things would be different. But because Trump is a member of a Republican family, Rich will likely move on with just a slap on the wrist.
I sincerely apologize for the insensitive tweet. I deeply regret my actions & offensive words. It was inexcusable & I'm so sorry.
