Left-wing pundit slams historian's 'stupidly wrong' election prediction in wild clash: 'Who won, brother?'
Fox News ^ | 11/20/2024 | Lindsay Kornick

Historian Allan Lichtman got into a shouting match with "The Young Turks" host Cenk Uygur over his "preposterously stupidly wrong" presidential election prediction model.

Both appeared on a panel for "Piers Morgan Uncensored" on Tuesday, where Uygur called out Lichtman for his touted "Keys to the White House" prediction model failing to predict President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.

"Look, I debated Professor Lichtman before. I told him his theories about the keys are absurd. I was right. He was wrong. I said he'd lose his keys," Uygur began.

"No, you were not right, and I was not wrong!" Lichtman interrupted. "And that's a cheap shot. And I will not stand for it."

Who won, brother? Who won?" Uygur repeated.

"You should not be taking cheap shots at me! You want to make your point, make your point. Don’t make it personal," Lichtman yelled.

"You live in a total world of denial," Uygur replied.

Lichtman went on to claim Uygur’s own followers "trashed" the liberal host's argument and supported the historian, a claim Uygur dismissed.

"You don't know anything. You don't know anything," Uygur repeated.

"You attacked me personally!" Lichtman yelled back.

"You’re just so deluded—" Uygur said.

Lichtman replied, "Oh right, I've only been a professor for 51 years, published 13 books. How many books have you published then? No, because you're personally attacking me again. Say whatever you want, but I'm not going to stand for personal attacks."

"But brother, you got it wrong! You were preposterously stupidly wrong!" Uygur yelled back.

> preposterously stupidly wrong <

Nice turn of the phrase. And it just doesn’t apply here. It pretty describes every leftie idea, everywhere.

I don’t think Cenk will ever go the Joe Rogan route and come around to fully endorse Trump/MAGA, but he could at least be a Fetterman or Bill Maher - a voice with liberal street cred but not afraid to unapologetically call out BS and nonsense coming from that side.

Was wondering how Scent Yogurt and the Young Turks reacted to the election.

This is a rare video on this website that is NOT a waste of time, and truly delivers some great moments. Most of the videos linked here are a waste of time, not this one.

Oh, his poor suffering students. And his books are probably as dumb-ass as his election prediction.

Yes, and at one point he accused the other guy of blasphemy for speaking badly about his lofty self...to which his adversary responded with something like “Blasphemy? Who are you? Jesus Christ?”

To be fair his prediction model is actually really good, but he let his biases blind him to reality and that threw the model completely out of whack. Just one of the many hazards of getting your news from the mainstream media.

Cenk is a jerk. Always been, will always be. He is a bully, and enjoys it.
The other arsehole is just that. Oooooh, published a bunch of books? Well, wuppity-do! If they are all a pack of lies or did not help you in your latest screw up, go pound sand.

“the video’s better than the article”

Chicks On The Right played that video this morning. Hubby and I were hysterical! Lichtman poke poke poking his finger on one hand. And on the other hand. Then BOTH hands... poke poke poke.

(I think Cenk is getting red-pulled slowly. He and Elon have been corresponding on X.)

Lichtman’s keys might actually be the real deal, but after he used them to pick President Trump in 2016, they could only pick Biden and then Harris as penance for his 2016 sins. Of course, now Lichtman’s finding out all that penance means bupkis anyway.

He’s a narcissist because he declares any criticism of his unfailable model to be blasphemy? Sounds more like a god complex to me!

I’m actually surprised some on the looney left haven’t cited the failure of his model in this election as proof positive that Trump cheated.

“written 15 books and been a professor for 51 years” tells us all we need to know. Plus his head is oddly shaped. Looks like the caveman.
