NBC has confirmed that Katie Rich is no longer with the show. I am relieved that there was finally accountability for attacking a child. We need to remain vigilant about the standards we expect from public figures.

One of the writers for NBC's Saturday Night Live, Katie Rich, tweeted a disgusting comment in regards to President Trump's 10 year old son. This type of behavior, in this day and age of Anti Bullying campaigns, especially since directed at a CHILD should NOT be tolerated or rewarded in any way. Fire Katie Rich.

The comments on this page are a painful reminder of why I started this because no child should ever be a target for public ridicule. I am spending my time tonight drafting formal letters to the network executives demanding they address these cruel remarks. Silence from them is not an acceptable response when a young boy is involved.

Seeing this level of support confirms that people refuse to accept the targeting of a child. This momentum proves that common decency still holds weight even when someone in a position of influence forgets it.

A ten year old child, any child, it could be your kid or your grandchild, it does not matter what his or her name is, this is over the line. Katie Rich should never be allowed in the door at NBC again.

Katie Rich should be fired for her behavior on twitter. She should not be bullying a 10 year old child. This was not humorous, but an attack on a small child and so very wrong.

I will not be watching any NBC programs. My usual habit is to watch the NBC nightly news then leave it on for prime time. This stopped when I heard about the tweeting concerning a 10 year old boy.

I was greatly offended by the remarks from SNL writer Katie Rich on a 10 year old regarding gun related claims against him. This woman should be fired, fined and state a written apology to the First Family.

Empitomy of bullying against a child. An educated writer weaponizing words agsinst a minor, inexcusable. There can be zero tolerance against such behavior.

By ignoring these comments and not taking public action, NBC and SNL are showing tacit approval for the bullying of a child and shining a bright light on their hypocrisy

The outrageous behavior of these people because their candidate didn't win is shocking. Grow up and stop being so hypocritical. I didn't lose my mind and common sense when Obama won. By the way, I didn’t vote for Trump so don’t assume you know who’s writing this.

How many people out there remember a tactless, crass, flippant comment from an adult made to you as a child? Now multiply that by millions. SHAME. That is the ONLY thing she should be feeling. That, and UNEMPLOYMENT!
