Trump Jr. joked about Aurora shooting the day it happened: report

Donald Trump Jr. once joked about the Aurora shooting as well as overweight people and Arabs, CNN reports. 

{mosads}Speaking about the July 2012 Aurora shooting, which left 12 people dead at a theater in Colorado, Trump Jr. joked about giving the movie “two thumbs up.” 

“Overall I give the movie two thumbs up,” Trump Jr. said on the “Opie and Anthony” radio show, according to CNN. 

Trump Jr. would often appear on “shock jock” radio programs like “Opie and Anthony” and the now-defunct “The Six Pack.” 

In another “Opie and Anthony” interview in 2012, Trump Jr. lamented that political correctness prevented him from making fun of overweight people. 

“You can’t even make fat jokes now without, like, there’s a whole segment of people that like, that’s almost the worst one like, it’s easier to, like, do a racial thing, than it is a fat one because everyone knows they’re fat and they get really offended that,” he said.

“Well it’s a disease,” a host said.

“Everything’s a disease,” Trump Jr. responded.

“Yeah they’re offended, until they lose weight,” said another host.

“Laziness is a disease too,” Trump Jr. said.

In another appearance in 2012, Trump Jr. joked that Arabs are either named “Muhammad” or “Ali.”
