On inauguration day, as events were unfolding, Katie wrote, "Barron will be this country’s first homeschool shooter," on her Twitter page.

Katie deleted the tweet shortly afterwards when it caused a fierce backlash. She later apologised, saying the following:

"I sincerely apologize for the insensitive tweet. I deeply regret my actions & offensive words. It was inexcusable & I'm so sorry."

She has now allegedly been cut from writing on the show following the incident.
