Conservative Radio Host Wishes For A ‘Nice School Shooting’ Over Impeachment
After hearing the ignorant comment, his wife and co-host, Julie Hayden, immediately cut him off and tried to cover his tracks.
“No, no, don’t even — don’t even say that,” she said. “No, don’t even say that. Don’t call us, Chuck didn’t say that.”
Even though Bonniwell tried to change his statement, saying he would want a shooting “in which no one would be hurt”–he had already dug himself into too deep a hole. By the end of the day, the couple’s show was canceled by the radio station 710 KNUS.
“I made an inappropriate comment meant as a joke,” he said, according to reports from the Denver Post. “I’m sorry it was not received that way.”
‘Chuck & Julie’ ended up being removed from the station’s website by Thursday morning.
Though gun violence is a huge problem all over the United States, Bonniwell’s comments were made on the radio in state that has been rocked by several horrible mass shootings. Two teenage gunmen killed 12 students and a teacher at Columbine High School twenty years ago. In 2012, a gunman walked into an Aurora movie theater and killed 12 people. This year, in May, two shooters killed a student and injured several others at a high school in a suburb of Denver.
