The "Saturday Night Live" writer who joked that Barron Trump, the 10-year-old son of the president, would grow up to be the "country's first homeschool shooter" has been suspended indefinitely by NBC, multiple outlets reported Monday.
Katie Rich made the comment in a tweet on Friday afternoon, shortly after President Trump was sworn into office. The improv comedian, who has worked three years for the show, deleted the tweet and her account shortly after, as a result of the backlash she received.
On Monday, Rich reactivated her Twitter page and posted an apology, but did not share details about her situation with NBC, a network that is also home to Trump's show "Celebrity Apprentice."
