Curb your enthusiasm Alan! Lawyer Dershowitz is branded 'disgusting' by former friend Larry David over his support for Trump after the two argued in Martha's Vineyard store
Former friends Larry David and Alan Dershowitz got into a screaming match over the attorney's support for former president Trump during a run-in at a grocery store.
The New York Post reported that the confrontation recently took place on the porch of the Chilmark General Store in Martha's Vineyard.
Deshowitz told the comedian 'We can still talk, Larry' to which David replied 'No,no. We really can't. I saw you. I saw you with your arm around Pompeo! It's disgusting!'

Dershowitz told David 'We can still talk, Larry' to which David (pictured) replied 'No,no. We really can't. I saw you. I saw you with your arm around Pompeo! It's disgusting!'
David was referring to Trump's former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, one of Dershowitz' students at Harvard Law School.
'I can't greet my former students?' the attorney reportedly asked.
'It's disgusting,' David retorted. 'You're whole enclave – it's disgusting. You're disgusting!'
A source for the Post who witnessed the spat said David took off and afterwards Deshowitz took off his T-shirt to reveal another T-shirt underneath that read, 'It's The Constitution Stupid!' before driving away in a Volvo.
While the fight seems a scene out of David's HBO comedy 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' Dershowitz confirmed it actually went down.

Dershowitz told the Post the two were close friends until he served as Trump's defense lawyer during his first impeachment hearing in January 2020.
He said they were so close back in the day he even helped get one of David's daughters into college and once represented the comedian pro bono.
Dershowitz told the Post he was not a 'blind supporter' of the Trump Administration, but he admired Pompeo's work on peace in the Middle East and he worked with the former Secretary of State on his department's policy regarding Israel and Palestine.
But according to Dershowitz David was not willing to mend fences over their political differences and that he just 'screamed' and 'yelled' at him when he tried to talk.
'I was worried he was going to have a stroke,' Dershowitz told the Post.
'Larry is a knee-jerk radical,' he added, 'He takes his politics from Hollywood. He doesn't read a lot. He doesn't think a lot.'
'I'm a liberal Democrat and I voted for Biden just as enthusiastically as Larry did,' he said.
Dershowitz doesn't seem too fazed by the spat and said he is still willing to 'extend a hand of friendship' to David despite the incident but said that it would have to be civil.
'I won't get into a screaming match with him. If he wants to scream, he'll have to scream alone,' he said.
