In the wake of Donald Trump’s historic and decisive victory, the left has descended into a full-scale blame game, with their supposed intellectual elites turning on each other in a circus of finger-pointing and melodrama.
The latest installment in this spectacle of failure comes from historian and so-called election “expert” Allan Lichtman, known for his “Keys to the White House” prediction model, who couldn’t resist blaming “misogyny, racism, and xenophobia” for his catastrophic prediction about the election.
Because, naturally, when liberals lose, it’s never about their policies or candidates—it’s always the voters’ fault.
During an interview with CNN, Lichtman explained:
“The Keys to the White House depend upon a rational, pragmatic electorate deciding it based on guidance rather than depending upon if the party should get four more years.
And we’ve seen the explosion of some trends that have existed before, but not to this extent. Disinformation. You know, Elon Musk, I don’t know how many hundreds of billions he has, has been the director of misinformation. Two billion views of his spreading of disinformation.
Not just about the economy, but about immigrants, about minorities. We were never seeing this disinformation at this scale.
Next, we have never seen to this scale the agitation of three trends that have been very deeply embedded in American history. Misogyny, racism, and xenophobia. The first anti-immigrant law was 1798, and Donald Trump wanted to revive it.”
But things took an even more absurd turn during a panel interview with Piers Morgan, where Lichtman found himself face-to-face with Democrat propagandist Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks.
What followed was a fiery and laughable exchange that exposed both men as delusional egotists with fragile egos.
Uygur, who has his own long history of incorrect political takes, didn’t hold back in trashing Lichtman’s predictions.
Lichtman, in turn, got offended when his intelligence was questioned and doubled down on his self-proclaimed expertise, boasting about his 51 years as a professor and 13 published books.
Transcript:
Cenk Uygur: Look, I debated Professor Lichtman before. I told him his theories about the keys were absurd. I was right, he was wrong. I said he’d lose his keys.
Allan Lichtman: No, you were not right, and I was not wrong. That’s a cheap shot, and I won’t stand for it.
Cenk Uygur: Who won, brother?
Allan Lichtman: You should not be taking cheap shots at me.
Cenk Uygur: Who won?
Allan Lichtman: You want to make your point, make your point. Don’t make it personal.
Cenk Uygur: You live in a total world of denial. (Does the cuckoo sign)
Allan Lichtman: I read your own followers’ comments, and they all trashed you, every one of them, and supported me.
Cenk Uygur: Yeah, right.
Allan Lichtman: So quiet with your personal attacks.
Cenk Uygur: Yeah, come find out again.
Allan Lichtman: Make whatever point you want. Don’t make it personal.
Cenk Uygur: You don’t know anything. You don’t know anything.
Allan Lichtman: You attacked me personally.
Cenk Uygur: You’re so deluded.
Allan Lichtman: All right. I’ve only been a professor for 51 years, published 13 books. How many books have you published?
Cenk Uygur: On this program, I’ve never been able to finish a thought.
Allan Lichtman: No, because you’re personally attacking me again. Say whatever you want, but I’m not going to stand for personal attacks.
Cenk Uygur: But, brother, you got it wrong! You were preposterously and stupidly wrong! Okay, all right. Can I just finish a goddamn thought ever on this show?
Allan Lichtman: No, not if you’re personally… I admitted I was wrong. I don’t need you to call me stupid.
[…]
Cenk Uygur: Okay. Hey, Allan, you deserve a tall glass of shut-up juice, so can you just shut up for a second and let someone who knows what they’re doing—
Allan Lichtman: Not if you’re going to personally attack me. I will not sit here and stand for personal attacks, for blasphemy against me. You don’t need to do that.
Cenk Uygur: Blasphemy against you? Who the hell are you? Are you Jesus Christ, you loser?
