Silicon Valley stars 'are set upon by two aggressive Trump voters who confronted them in an LA bar after trolling them online'

• e-mail

Two of the stars of 'Silicon Valley' have tweeted about being confronted by two Trump supporters at an upscale bar in Los Angeles. 

Kumail Nanjiani and Thomas Middleditch, who star in the HBO show, said they were out together on Saturday night when the two men in their early 20s aggressively approached them. 

'Out with @kumailn; for no reason two dudes came at us with Trump right wing s***, calling us "cucks". Never in my life. I hate this. Week 1,' Middleditch wrote on Twitter.

Nanjiani elaborated on the incident more and tweeted that the men said they were 'big fans' of theirs and then turned to Middleditch, telling him they had 'trolled him' on Twitter the day before.

They then went on to tell the actors how they are 'wrong about Trump'.

Nanjiani and Middleditch have been outspoken about their support of defeated Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on social media. 

Nanjiani said he tried to tell the men he and Middleditch weren't interested in talking about politics. 

That's when the men grew hostile.

'His friends goes "oh they're cucks." Then starts yelling at us. "CUCKS CUCKS CUCKS!"' Nanjiani wrote. 

'Cuck' is a term used as a pejorative in the alt-right community and is short for 'cuckold', which is defined as a man who has been cheated on by his wife. 

The Trump supporters then started getting aggressive with Nanjiani and Middleditch and 'got in their faces', Nanjiani wrote. 

In order to stop the man from becoming more hostile, Middleditch placed his hand on the man's chest who had gotten too close to Nanjiani and was acting hostile, he wrote. 

Nanjiani said the bouncer then noticed the behavior of the Trump supporters, walked over and kicked them out. 

Nanjiani elaborated on the incident more and tweeted that the men said they were 'big fans' of theirs before becoming aggressive 

The men said they were left rattled, realizing if that kind of behavior could occur at an upscale bar around dozens of people, that it must be even worse in more remote areas. 

'We can't let hate/racism/bigotry/sexism be normalized. If something happens, be safe, but let it be known we won't stand for this.

'Many ppl are like "just cuz I voted for Trump doesn't mean I'm racist/sexist." Ok, but at best, you ignored it, you overlooked it,' Nanjiani said. 

While Nanjiani and Middleditch were met with sympathy by many on Twitter, some claimed their story was made up.

'Damn you. It's real. Wake up. Bouncer removed these people. Shame on you. What is happening?!' a distraught Middleditch wrote to a user who claimed their story was false. 

Nanjiani also posted about people not believing the story.

'I like the ppl that don't believe me, as if I'm like "it's great that I'm on an HBO show but my true passion is to be yelled at in a bar",' he wrote.

Although there is no arrest record or additional stories to corroborate the men's account, reports of hate crimes after Trump's election reached a fever pitch worse than post-9/11 America, according to USA Today.

Representatives who track reports of hate crimes told the paper: 'Since the election, we've seen a big uptick in incidents of vandalism, threats, intimidation spurred by the rhetoric surrounding Mr. Trump's election.'

There have been 200 official complaints logged in the five days since the election.
