And, like Rich’s joke, Harmon received a torrent of backlash from online users over his proposition. One person wrote that with his tweet, he’s “a sad old man fetching for attention.” Added another: “Sure, Katie Rich will work again. But she learned a lesson: Trump is fair game, 10-yr-old kids are not, so don’t be evil.”
Rich took down her website and cleared her social media pages before leaving an apology.
“I sincerely apologize for the insensitive tweet. I deeply regret my actions & offensive words. It was inexcusable & I’m so sorry,” she tweeted Monday.
