Chuck Lorre, the mega-producer behind some of the biggest shows on television, including Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory, accepted a founder's award from Project Angel Food in Los Angeles, and used his speech to fantasize about the President of the United States dying on a toilet.

The room applauded.

Lorre, who the charity named their building after, told the gala attendees he wished the "President of the United States had a heart attack while straining to take a dump." He called Trump a "bloated, orange piece of sh*t." He described First Lady Melania Trump as a "surgically enhanced, cold-hearted Yugoslavian escort who clearly hates her husband."

Then he mocked Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s voice. Kennedy has spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological disorder that affects speech. Lorre made his voice as gravelly as possible and told the crowd, "I actually practiced that." The audience laughed. A man mocking a neurological condition at a charity event — and rehearsing the bit beforehand.

This was a charity dinner. Project Angel Food prepares and delivers meals to people suffering from critical illness. The event exists to raise money for the sick. Lorre used it to workshop assassination fantasies and disability jokes.

The Hollywood Reporter polled its audience on the speech. The results landed at 40 percent saying Lorre "went too far," 40 percent calling it "perfectly appropriate," and 20 percent somewhere in between. So by Hollywood's own internal math, a full 40 percent of the industry's own people thought wishing death on a sitting president crossed a line — and the town still treated it as a wash.

Lorre also called on the DNC to "run from the suicidal insanity of the far-left woke culture." That line drew less attention, probably because it's harder to clip for social media than a death wish. But it's the reveal. Lorre isn't a resistance radical. He's a rich man who made his fortune on network sitcoms, lives inside a building with his name on it, and decided the best use of a charity stage was to describe in anatomical detail how he'd like the president to die.

Consider what would have happened if a conservative producer had stood at a podium in 2014 and wished that Barack Obama would have a heart attack on a toilet. Consider how long his career would have lasted — not in days, but in hours. Consider whether the building would have kept his name.

Lorre's building still has his name on it. The award is still on his shelf.
