Stars—when it comes to Trump-related harassment, they’re just like us! Kumail Nanjiani and Thomas Middleditch, stars of HBO’s Silicon Valley, were involved in an altercation at a Silver Lake, Los Angeles, bar late Friday night, according to their Twitter feeds. Middleditch first mentioned the incident early Saturday morning:
Later on Saturday, Nanjaini told a more detailed version of the story:
Cuck, as Slate’s Amanda Marcotte reported in 2015, is a term the most racist elements of the Republican Party imported from pornography. Nanjiani, who is Pakistani American, addressed skeptics with a later tweet:
He went on to point out that Trump supporters are, at a minimum, willing to put up with Trump’s racism and sexism, even if they claim to not share the president-elect’s views about women and minorities:
Genteel Trump supporters aside, both actors’ Twitter mentions appear to be a shitshow of people who are very explicitly racist and sexist.
