Dan Rather warned Americans about the Trump administration in a Facebook post on Sunday, saying these are not "normal times."
The former CBS Evening news anchor targeted President Trump, adviser Kellyanne Conway and press secretary Sean Spicer for comments in the last 24 hours.
"When you have a spokesperson for the president of the United States wrap up a lie in the Orwellian phrase 'alternative facts' ..." Rather wrote.
"When you have a press secretary in his first appearance before the White House reporters threaten, bully, lie, and then walk out of the briefing room without the cajones to answer a single questions ..." he added.
"When you have a President stand before the stars of the fallen CIA agents and boast about the size of his crowds (lies) and how great his authoritarian inaugural speech was ..."
"These are not normal times."

Rather is attempting to incite armed insurrection against our President.
He should be arrested and charged as a terrorist and traitor

What’s the frequency, Kenneth, why did you walk off the set, and is all this fake, but accurate?
To: Zakeet
Dan Rather knows when it's time to ramp up the Fake News.

These people make me absolutely sick. They have been biased for decades against the Republican Party and they’ve been doing the Dems dirty work all this time. Now that we have a person fighting back against this media tyrrany they’re crying like a bunch of babies.

This pie-faced moron can’t grasp that he has no credibility whatsoever.
He should have the good grace to shut up and go away.

They still don’t get it. They never will. It’s best to bypass the legacy media as just another pile of buggy whips and button hooks.

"...without the cajones..." HMMM. Dan Rather has no right to speak of such things, (being a sissified invertebrate) even if he is trying to connect/pander to the Hispanics in Our Country.

There ARE NOT normal times. Even Youtube is blaring an anti meme over Trump nominee for EPA! The media bassturds are going all out to push any lie to delegitimize OUR new President. It is disgusting and blatant.
