Former CBS anchorman Dan Rather said "he shed a tear for the country" after President Trump's immigration order began to be enforced on Saturday.
"Today I shed a tear for the country I know and love, the one I believe still beats in the heart of most of its citizens," Rather wrote in a Saturday Facebook post that has since spread widely, eclipsing 110,000 shares and 265,000 likes. "The United States became the most powerful nation in the history of mankind not merely on the basis is its fearsome military, as lethal and well trained as that may be."
"It wasn't solely based on its unprecedented economic engine, as dynamic and far-reaching as that may be America's greatness was forged by a Constitutional compact of grand and universal ideals that the country has tried to live up to ever since," the 85-year-old continued.

Oh, look, another “Fake But Accurate” story from Dan Rather.
“Courage!”
I would imagine that he is crying, balling and throwing a temper tantrum.
What a baby.
Just getting started.
Shed all the tears you want, Dan.
Crocodile tears.
Islam has been killing infidels for almost 1400 years.
There is plenty of reason to keep them out.
The only people who don’t understand the threat of Islam are the deliberately obtuse.
Dan Rather is STILL an old senile blathering fool....
Dan old man did you tear up over this??? Bet not!!!
“NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, by the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code hereby find that the unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of persons described in section 1 of this proclamation would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. I therefore hereby proclaim that:
Section 1. The entry into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of the following persons is hereby suspended:”
Can’t say I’m surprised to watch Democrats take up their new favorite cause of the poor persecuted Muslims and compare their situation to the Holocaust! Muslims wish they could finish the Holocaust. Yet here they are siding with the most violent as always.
but dat be diffrunt obumma be da first black president.
Dan, and other smug “progressives” like him bear a lot of responsibility for the deterioration of America and why our president needs to take actions like this.
Dan has knowingly and intentionally been undermining America at least since his days of biased reporting from Vietnam, perhaps even before that.
So did Chuck Schumer. LOLOL!
Isn’t this the same wording rather did after Jimma carter closed our borders to MUslems after he lost the embassy?
We just had a “Women’s March” in Washington led by a believer in Sharia Law which doesn’t give women many rights at all, and now we have “Christian leaders” denouncing the idea that Christians in the Middle East will be give priority to escape their slaughter. We have big “defenders of free speech” in Hollywood wanting more anti-free speech Muslims to enter the country.
It’s a world turned upside down, and a left that has finally gone crazy.
Is Dan back to using heroin?
He's never cried a tear for Americans that I can remember - - well, unless they were of the 'hate America' types. Maybe he cried for the animals burning down our cities... or for people in other countries who express hatred for the United States. Or for Illegals who what to come here by breaking our laws... or for drug dealers who want to kill our children. He never has 'tears' for American citizens.
Can anyone remember ONE time Rather sided with the citizen of this country?
Poor muslims, they ban Israelis from entering Saudi Arabia.
A lachrymose argumentum ad passiones from the disgraced CBS fraud.
How touching.
