It seems left-on-left crime is starting to heat up following spectacularly wrong polling predictions in the 2024 presidential election. And it’s a thing of beauty.

Tensions boiled over on a Tuesday edition of “Piers Morgan Uncensored” when progressive commentator Cenk Uygur and supposed polling “Nostradamus” Allan Lichtman got into a glorified pillow fight on live television.
Lichtman, who touts a method known as the “13 Keys” to make his predictions, had Kamala Harris winning the election at first in a landslide, then later revising to a slightly closer contest.
It turned out it was Donald Trump who took home the electoral landslide. And Lichtman, rather than pivoting and promising to tweak his methodology, blamed misinformed voters.
Uygur used that argument as a launching point to absolutely tee off on Lichtman. In fact, you could practically hear shattered glass and WWE announcer Jim Ross shouting, “Bah God, that’s Stone Cold’s Cenk Uygur’s music!” just before a can of whoop-a** was unleashed.

“Don’t blame the voters. I think, look, we can get into this discussion, but one, I think you’re blaming the voters,” Uygur began. “I think it’s a terrible idea, and 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.”

Uygur has cautioned in the past against blaming voters over an election result his fellow progressives might not like.
Lichtman immediately interjected, saying, “You were not right, and I was not wrong,” and called Cenk’s comments a “cheap shot.”
Naturally, Uygur simply pointed out that, bro, you did get the election wrong.
“Who won? You live in a total world of denial!” he fired back.
The polling industry as a whole lives in a world of denial.
When Lichtman attempted to tout his credentials — being a professor for 51 years and publishing numerous books — Uygur slapped him back with: “You got it wrong! You were preposterously, stupidly wrong.”
Sounds like a media slogan in the works — MSNBC and/or CNN: Preposterously, Stupidly Wrong.
The looks on the faces of other panelists as the argument devolved were simply hilarious. “White Dude for Harris” Harry Sisson couldn’t stop grinning like a goof during the exchange. Fox News pundit Juan Williams was left shaking his head several times.
And Lichtman with the pouting — I mean, you love to see it.
LMAO🤣🤣🤣
Cenk Uygur GOES OFF at Allan Lichtman.
“You don’t know anything… you’re so deluded. You were preposterously and stupidly wrong.”
Litchman: “I will not stand for blasphemy against me.”
Cenk: “Blasphemy against you? Who the hell are you? Are you Jesus Christ, you… pic.twitter.com/CieI02nCzz

“I will not sit here and stand for personal attacks, for blasphemy against me. You don’t need to do that,” a petulant Lichtman said, most likely stomping his foot and adjusting whatever that is sitting atop his head.
“Blasphemy against you?!” Uygur scoffed. “Who the hell are you? Are you Jesus Christ?”
If I had known this was going to happen on Piers Morgan’s show, I would have gladly watched this fight over the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson bout. I mean this — THIS — was popcorn-worthy.
This isn’t Lichtman’s first tussle over the election. Just weeks before Election Day, he was getting into an online catfight with Nate Silver, who also views his “13 Keys” method of predicting as kind of ridiculous.
The polling “guru” explained away his failed prediction in the 2024 contest on “disinformation” and Elon Musk, saying, “Once you dissolve truth, democracy dissolves along with it.”
The only thing dissolving right now is his brain cells.
