Dan Rather: 'We must all stand up’ to Trump

Veteran journalist Dan Rather says all Americans must hold President-elect Donald Trump accountable.

“Now is a time when none of us can afford to remain seated or silent. We must all stand up to be counted,” Rather wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday.

“History will demand to know which side you were on. This is not a question of politics or party or even policy. This is a question about the very fundamentals of our beautiful experiment in a pluralistic democracy ruled by law.”

Rather said he is speaking out because of white nationalists celebrating Trump’s White House win.

“When I see neo-Nazis raise their hands in terrifying solute [sic], in public, in our nation’s capital, I shudder in horror,” he said, referencing an alt-right conference in Washington on Saturday.

But you never opened your mouth about this POS! His racism, etc. was ok with the left because you agreed with it. Dan Rather, you and the people like you are the absolute scum of the earth!

The media are on a dangerous course. Using false, inflamatory language to stoke unjustified fear. Taking us back to the civil unrest of the ‘60s.

You & your ilk were counted two weeks ago. You came up short.

You do realize, Dan... that there are only 6000 registered KKK members in the entire world. Read Wikipedia. Heck, they could all probably fit in one Los Vegas hotel and there would still be empty rooms left over. Trump does not represent the KKK. He represents the average American. ...

...BTW, America is a Republic. Not a Democracy. Me thinks you are starting to believe all the propaganda that you spew out daily for your owners on Wall Street.

These people are on Soros’s payroll. They know how anything Nazi is repulsive to the American people.

Critics say the alt-right is an ideology that embraces white nationalism, anti-Semitism and misogyny.

So they are either raging homosexuals or Democrats? Maybe both?

“Now is a time when none of us can afford to remain seated or silent. We must all stand up to be counted,”

Translation: We must obstruct Trump at every turn.
