Three guesses who this kneepadder is referring to, and it wasn't the Trumps...

"Allan Lichtman, a history professor at American University, condemned the media tendency to portray both parties as equally culpable for the current poisonous political tone.

Polarization “has gotten much worse, and if there was one phrase I would eliminate from the English language, it is ‘both sides,’” Lichtman, a longtime Trump critic who 15 years ago sought a Democratic Senate nomination in Maryland, said. “It is not both sides. It is coming overwhelmingly from one side, and that one side is the Donald Trump Republicans.”

Maybe Niall met Lichtman for "lunch" LOFL. It's fairly certain that Lichtman is in Niall's Rolloverdex.

Lichtman is one of those nobodies with an extensive Wikipedia entry that you figure he started and people who aren't his friends finished:

• "He ran for the U.S. Senate seat from Maryland in 2006, finishing in sixth place in the Democratic primary."

• "When Lichtman was not invited by the League of Women Voters to the Maryland Public Television debate, he and other excluded candidates (Josh Rales and Dennis F. Rasmussen) protested outside the Baltimore County television studio; Lichtman and his wife were arrested after a confrontation with a security guard."

• "In the early 1980s while living in California as a visiting professor at the California Institute of Technology, Lichtman had a 17-show stint on the game show Tic Tac Dough. He won $100,000."
