WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 16: The U.S. Capitol is seen in the distance from the base of the Washington Monument on a stormy morning on December 16, 2019 in Washington, DC. Washington is preparing for the House of Representatives to hold the historic vote on the Articles of Impeachment of President Donald Trump later this week. If the vote passes in the House, President Trump will become only the third sitting U.S. President to be impeached in the 243 year history of the United States. (Photo by Samuel Corum/Getty Images)

The impeachment of President Donald Trump is so tedious that “you wish for a nice school shooting to interrupt the monopoly,” a Denver radio host lamented Tuesday.

The Colorado Times Recorder first reported Wednesday on the comment from talk radio host Chuck Bonniwell.

“No, don’t even say that! Don’t call us! Chuck didn’t say that,” Bonniwell’s co-host Julie Hayden responded.

She later told the Times Recorder, “It was something he immediately wished he hadn’t said.”

Bonniwell added Tuesday that he meant shootings in “which no one would be hurt.”
