Saturday Night Live writer Katie Rich has been served an indefinite suspension from the show after tweeting a joke about Barron Trump.

On Friday, Rich, who according to IMDB has been a writer with SNL since 2013, tweeted, "Barron will be this country's first homeschool shooter." There was an outcry and Rich promptly deleted the tweet, but that didn't stop critics from pushing the show to fire her.

As of Monday afternoon, more than 68K people had signed a Change.org petition calling for her termination.

Chelsea Clinton tweeted support for Barron:

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. — Chelsea Clinton (@ChelseaClinton) January 22, 2017

Rich has since apologized.

I sincerely apologize for the insensitive tweet. I deeply regret my actions & offensive words. It was inexcusable & I'm so sorry. — Katie Rich (@katiemaryrich) January 23, 2017

News outlets noticed Rich's name was missing from the credits for Saturday's show. A person familiar with the situation confirmed Rich was suspended immediately after her tweet and the suspension is indefinite. It is unclear whether she has been suspended with or without pay.

We can still make fun of Trump's adult children though right? Because come on.
