Sitcom King Chuck Lorre Wishes Death on Trump, Mocks RFK Jr.s Speech Disorder
What happened
Chuck Lorre made derogatory comments about President Trump, Melania Trump, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at a charity event, including wishing death on the President, mocking the first lady, and making light of Kennedy's neurological speech disorder. Lorre also expressed his criticism of "far-left, woke culture" and called on the Democratic National Committee to seek a more moderate approach. He reportedly practiced mocking Kennedy's speech disorder before delivering a punchline that imitated it.
