Donald Trump Jr.’s comments on a radio show about the Aurora theater shooting are sparking outrage and becoming political fodder in Colorado.

The son of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump appeared on the shock-jock show “Opie and Anthony” on July 20, 2012 — the same day convicted gunman James Holmes murdered 12 people at the Century Aurora 16 theater during the midnight premiere of the Batman movie, “The Dark Knight Rises.”

The radio hosts played interviews with people inside the theater when the attack took place.

“Everything was going good until, we saw gas and sparks, and sounded like really strong fireworks,” a witness says. “And then you just hear people yelling — and actually just a few rows away from me a girl gets up holding her jaw. I guess she had got shot.”

Trump Jr. immediately interjected: “Overall, I give the movie two thumbs up.”

The remarks, first reported Tuesday by CNN, sparked a sharp reaction in Colorado.

Sandy Phillips, the mother of Jessica Ghawi, who died in the attack, issued a statement saying “this recording shows the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

“This recording goes beyond politics — it’s disturbing and painful,” Phillips said in a statement released by Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

“We’ve already known that his father is a crass, blustery billionaire who cares zero about other people’s struggles or pain,” she added.

Democratic state Sen. Morgan Carroll, who represents Aurora, called on Trump Jr. to “apologize immediately to the families and victims affected by this terrible tragedy.”

“The loss of life, and horror faced by this community and all in that theater that day, is no joke,” added Carroll, who is running for Congress against Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman.

The tape became public the day Donald Trump made two campaign stops in Colorado ahead of Wednesday’s debate in Las Vegas. Donald Trump Jr. visited Colorado on Monday, making stops in Centennial and Boulder.

A Trump campaign spokeswoman in Colorado did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Elsewhere in the radio appearance posted by CNN, Trump Jr. cautions against calling Holmes “crazy.”

“I don’t want someone with credibility going on the record saying this guy’s crazy because that’s what’s going to prevent this guy from getting the punishment this (expletive) deserves. You know what I mean?” he says.

“He’s disturbed. He’s not crazy — because he’s going to get the chair,” he continued, adding later: “The bottom line is this guy’s not a human.”

A jury deadlocked on the question of whether Holmes deserved the death penalty, meaning he received a life prison sentence.

Following suggestions from the radio show hosts, Trump Jr. also remarked on the number of black witnesses and the fact the shooter was white.

“Oh boy,” Trump Jr. recalled thinking. He suggested race could be one of the motivations, though he questioned whether he was “allowed to say that.”
