Seahawks radio host Dori Monson suspended after transphobic tweet

Dori Monson has been suspended indefinitely by Bonneville Seattle from hosting the Seahawks’ pregame and postgame radio shows after a tweet he sent mocking transgender people, The Seattle Times has confirmed.

Monson sent the tweet Wednesday night during the Washington gubernatorial debate between Gov. Jay Inslee and Republican challenger Loren Culp.

Monson, who also hosts a daily show on KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, tweeted: “Inslee: we follow science in WA. The state where I could go to Olympia tomorrow and change my birth cert to say I was a girl on 10/2/61 HAHAHAHAHA.”

KIRO Radio 97.3 FM and 710 AM ESPN, the Seahawks’ flagship station, are part of Bonneville Seattle.

Monson is one of the Limbaugh imitators on Seattle talk radio. He adopted this shtick after the end of Pat Cashman's wildly entertaining morning show where Monson was one of the co-hosts.

Note that the station's owner, Bonneville International, is wholly owned by the Mormon church.

That jerk thought he could just get away with it. Like most right-wing conservatives, he probably believes he’s the victim.
