Radio Host Calls For A “Nice School Shooting” And Is Immediately Fired
That didn’t stop a Colorado talk show host from trying to make a joke that involved a school shooting. The Denver host said he wanted “a nice school shooting” to interrupt coverage of “the never-ending impeachment of Donald Trump.” That didn’t sit well with the community. Especially a local father who lost his son in a school shooting in Colorado earlier this year.
Chuck Bonniwell made the comments Tuesday afternoon coming back from a commercial break before being immediately interrupted by his co-host and wife Julie Hayden. “No, no, don’t even say that!” Hayden said. “Don’t call us! Chuck didn’t say that.” The damage was already done and the pair were fired by the station shortly afterward.
