If you thought Larry David's comedic genius was confined to 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' and 'Seinfeld', we're throwing it back to the time he engaged in a real-life sitcom scene outside a grocery store in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.
"'It's Disgusting!' - Larry David's Blast from the Past Confrontation with Alan Dershowitz Over Trump Ties"
The stage was an ordinary grocery store, the players were anything but. On one side stood Larry David, a brilliant comedic mind, and on the other, Alan Dershowitz, a former Harvard Law professor closely associated with the Trump administration. As reported by the Washington Examiner, an impromptu heated exchange unfolded, strange enough to have a reporter pen it down to remember.
"We can still talk, Larry," Dershowitz attempted to placate. David, however, would have none of it. "No. No. We really can't. I saw you. I saw you with your arm around [former Trump Secretary of State Mike] Pompeo! It's disgusting!" David retorted, making his disdain for Dershowitz's political affiliations clear.

Despite Dershowitz's attempts to justify that Pompeo was a friend from his law school days, David's anger remained unabated. "It's disgusting. Your whole enclave — it's disgusting. You're disgusting!" he declared.
In an interesting turn of events, Dershowitz, not to be outdone, took off his t-shirt to reveal another one underneath that read, "It’s The Constitution, Stupid!". Reflecting on the incident, Dershowitz acknowledged the eerily familiar vibe of the confrontation, likening it to a scene from 'Curb Your Enthusiasm', yet he admitted, "it wasn't funny at all".
Years later, we look back at this extraordinary clash, a clear reflection of the politically charged climate of the time. Larry David's outburst, spontaneous and unfiltered, serves as a stark reminder of how deeply personal political affiliations can become.
