By now, we’re all familiar with the situation surrounding Katie Rich, the SNL writer who was suspended from the show after cracking a joke about Donald Trump’s ten-year-old son on Twitter. Basically everyone’s chimed in on the subject in one way or another. Now, however, we’ve finally heard from Trump himself about what he thinks of the tweet in question.

During an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Trump referred to the tweet as “a disgrace,” but not before taking the opportunity to take shots at Saturday Night Live, NBC and Alec Baldwin.

“Your 10-year-old…What a wonderful, smart, charming kid. And then, they attack him; that’s got to hurt you and Melania,” Hannity posed to Trump.

“Well, Saturday Night Live — a person from Saturday Night Live was terrible,” said Trump. “It’s a failing show, it’s not funny. Alec Baldwin’s a disaster. He’s terrible on the show and, by the way, I don’t mind some humor but it’s terrible. But for them to attack, for NBC to attack my 10-year-old son –“

“Horrible,” added Hannity.

‘It’s a disgrace,” Trump finished.

While Rich has since apologized for and deleted the tweet, there hasn’t yet been a response from Saturday Night Live. They, along with Rich, are likely hoping that the issue will be forgotten about in short order, a wish they may just get, seeing as how the mob has now moved on  to other victims.
