SEATTLE (AP) — Dori Monson has been suspended indefinitely by Bonneville Seattle from hosting the Seahawks’ pregame and postgame radio shows following a post on Twitter mocking transgender people, The Seattle Times confirmed Friday.

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.

1. Dori can always go to Olympia...

...and change his birth cert to say he was an idiot on 10/7/20...and pretty much the rest of his life as well.

Good riddance.

Well that was fast. Looks like Dori Monson has been fired from hosting @Seahawks game shows and by Bonneville Seattle.

This honestly should have happened after he egged on his viewers to trash a homeless families trailer in West Seattle last year.

6. Dori didnt always be this conservative...Ages ago my work consisted of driving all day..

...and I would tune into Dori in the afternoons. When Newt Gingrich ranted about why women shouldnt be in the trenches (because they would get 'yeast Infection')...wasn't it Dori who led the drive to send packets of yeast to Newt?
