Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather argued Friday that Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) missed an opportunity to be a "hero" by announcing that she would vote to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
In a Facebook post after Collins announced her plans to vote for Kavanaguh during a lengthy speech on the Senate floor, the veteran anchor called the nomination battle a "devastating loss" for "most women" and some men.
"So Collins misses her moment to be a hero, and the old bulls win again," Rather wrote in the post.
"For most women and many men its a bitter, devastating loss. Which makes it all the sweeter for the old bulls, and for the forces of power, privilege and money everywhere," he added.
Rather wrote that his wife was "furious and deeply disappointed" by the day's news that Republicans have the votes necessary to confirm Kavanaugh on Saturday.
"Fill your lungs with the determined air of action. I find myself humming that old but powerful anthem of the Civil Rights Era. 'We'll walk hand in hand!' 'We are not afraid!' 'We shall overcome!'" he wrote, invoking Civil Rights-era messages.

Still lying......
Yes. The Ford conspiracy to defame Kav met all the standards of “fake but accurate”. The plot is unraveling....
More like the the Godfather of Fake News.
Walter Cronkite was the father with his fake news about the US losing in Vietnam.

Did he finally find a 1970s typewriter to write this on?

Right on. Dan's still a little strange.
Rather lives in “Opposite world”.

We can see how far back thisarxist-Socialist Poison spread.
Id “rather” not. Disgraced fake news godfather speaks!
It was a victory for the little people.
The media’s rap sheet is long but some of their worst offenses are a near-constant appeal to majority and claim of omniscience. Rather doesn’t have a bloody clue what ‘most women and many men’ think and, furthermore, would have no possible way of knowing.
“Who were the sour looking women behind Collins as she was speaking?”
Heifer Heitkamp on left..don’t know the other.

Two words: Paula Jones.
Democrats claim to care about women being valued yet twenty years ago, they privileged the blatant lies of a male perjurer over a woman seeking to be heard having her day in court by dismissing and belittling her right to seek justice.
Because the man who deprived her of it was the President Of The United States. These people make me sick.
To them its raw expediency and keeping power, whatever the cost. We have learned nothing in twenty years.
That would be Cronkite.

Was Rathers comment fake but accurate?
Yo, Dan.. you have no credibility.
