Historian Allan Lichtman fumed during a heated discussion on Tuesday when he was confronted by “The Young Turks” host Cenk Uygur over botching his call on who would win the 2024 presidential election.
The exchange happened during a segment on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” when Uygur brought up Lichtman’s “13 Keys to the White House” projection that Vice President Kamala Harris would beat Donald Trump.
“Don’t blame the voters,” Uygur told Lichtman. “I think, look, we can get into this discussion, but one, I think you’re blaming the voters. I think that’s a terrible idea.”
“And look, I debated Professor Lichtman before,” he continued. “I told him his theories about the keys were absurd. I was right. He was wrong. I said he’d lose his keys, couldn’t find them before the election.”
Lichtman exploded: “No, you were not right and I was not wrong!”
“And that’s a cheap shot, and I won’t stand for it,” he continued.
When asked who won the election, Lichtman responded: “You should not be taking cheap shots at me.”
“You want to make your point, make your point, don’t make it personal,” he continued.
“You live in a total world of denial,” Uygur responded while giving Lichtman the cuckoo sign while whistling.
Lichtman continued to complain that Uygur was making “personal” attacks against him.
“I’ve only been a professional for 51 years, published 15 books,” Lichtman said. “How many books have you published?”

“Brother, you got it wrong!” Uygur fired back. “You were preposterously and stupidly wrong. So, can I just finish a g*****n thought ever on this show?”
“Don’t call me stupid!” Lichtman snapped. “Who taught you manners? ”
“Hey Allan, you deserve a tall glass of shut up juice,” Uygur responded. “So can you just shut up for a second?”
Lichtman claimed that Uygur’s criticisms were “blasphemy” against him.
“Blasphemy against you? Who the hell are you?” Uygur responded. “Are you Jesus Christ? You loser.”
