Trump Jr. joked about Aurora shooting, Arab stereotypes, overweight people in shock-jock interviews
Source: CNN
Like his father, Donald Trump Jr. has a history of engaging in controversial conversations with radio shock-jocks, a review of his appearances on various programs by CNN's KFile reveals.
On shows like "Opie and Anthony," the now-defunct "The Six Pack," and "Opie with Jim Norton," the younger Trump made a joke about the 2012 Aurora theater shooting, expressed regret he could no longer mock overweight people, invoked Arab stereotypes, and joked about child beauty contestants being abused by their parents.
The Trump son also noted there were hours of footage of the "The Apprentice" left on the cutting room floor that would appeal to those with a "sick sense of humor."
For decades, Donald Trump appeared on radio shock jock Howard Stern's daily program, making controversial comments about current events, women, and sex. Trump Jr. also found his voice on shock jock radio shows often noting his lack of political correctness when sharing his opinion about politics and culture.

...with trumpkin as a male role model, what should we expect?
What we really need is someone with a national voice to explain to these yahoos what political correctness actually means. Instead of being some imaginary, liberal attack on free speech, it's synonymous with NOT acting like an ass. My analogy is don't say or write something you'd be ashamed for your mom to hear or read. That seems to get the point across to those who don't seem to fully understand the concept here in WNC.

during Repub convention he was being built up as the more palatable version when he's really just as despicable
