Charlie Kirk, the right-wing radio host and founder of Turning Point USA, insisted that Larry David, the creator, head writer and executive producer of the wildly successful sitcom Seinfeld, was not the “brains” behind it after David unloaded on Donald Trump during an appearance on Chris Wallace’s Max show that was previewed on CNN.

“You can’t go a day without thinking about what he’s [Trump’s] done to this country because he’s such a little baby that he’s thrown 250 years of democracy out the window by not accepting the results,” said David of the former president. “I mean, it’s so crazy. He’s such a sociopath. He’s so insane. He just couldn’t admit to losing, and we know he lost, he knows he lost, and look how he’s fooled everybody. He’s convinced all these people that he didn’t lose. He’s such a sick man!”

Kirk did not take to the criticism of Trump well, submitting that David had “really lost his fastball” after having previously been “a really funny guy.”

“People would ask, you know, ‘Charlie, do you watch Curb Your Enthusiasm?’ I never liked Larry David. He is not the brains of the operation of Seinfeld. It was obviously Jerry or somebody else. ‘He’s a baby. He’s sick.’ Larry David, you perfectly just showed us exactly what is going on tonight at this New York fundraiser,” said Kirk, referring to a planned fundraiser for President Joe Biden on Thursday night.

After blasting the “mentally deranged people” with “shallow lives” that might attend the event, Kirk continued to assail David:

You know what’s really interesting, is it’s obvious that ever since Donald Trump came on the scene, Larry David is not as happy of a person as he once was. He’s really never been that happy. I think he’s an atheist, he’s snarky, he’s your typical kind of New York Woody Allen-type that is constantly complaining and is, you know, thinks he could be really funny. By the way, that clip, “He’s a baby. He’s sick, he’s sick.” Use some different words, man. You wrote Seinfeld. You’re talking like a ninth grader who had her SSRIs taken away from her. Like come on, let’s some new vocabulary there, man.

In addition to Seinfeld, David also created Curb Your Enthusiasm, the long-running sitcom that presents a fictionalized version of his own life.
