Saying offensive things seems to be a Trump family tradition.

CNN has uncovered recordings of Donald Trump Jr.’s interviews with radio shock jocks that show he didn’t fall far from the tree of his Republican presidential nominee father.

On the day in 2012 when a gunman killed a dozen people in an Aurora, Colorado, movie theater, Trump Jr. appeared on satellite radio’s “Opie and Anthony.” The hosts played a recording of a witness describing the carnage, to which Trump Jr. exclaimed, “Overall, I give the movie two thumbs up!”

In January 2012, Trump Jr. accused President Barack Obama of being racist by labeling others racists:

“I mean, so many people, you know, they’re just worried about, you can’t say something bad about Obama, not because you actually have a strong stance against his platform, but because that makes you a racist. Like, that in itself is racism. Like, it’s so, you know, it’s so ridiculous and that’s what we’ve become, and he’s played that card very well. And by the way, if I was in his shoes I’d be playing that card too, because you can get away with it in this country and we allow it.”

The recordings, unearthed by Andrew Kaczynski’s new K-file team at CNN, may come as no surprise to those following Trump Jr.’s statements during his daddy’s campaign.

Most recently, Trump Jr. said women who can’t handle sexual harassment shouldn’t be in the workforce.
