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 it’s 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.

“”For most women and many men it’s 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.”
Well, since half the country voted for Trump, I would say that once again our nation is split down the middle and because of that Rather’s statement is a crock of crocodile crap.
You should send this picture to Dan Bongino. He had a Facebook comment that said:
“The Left isn’t ready for the storm they claim they want. The delicate, snowflake lifestyle isn’t conducive to the development of the skill set necessary to make it through the storm. They talk big, & they’re aggressive & confrontational in packs but, when isolated, they’re soft.”
Yeah, Dan, you self righteous swine, and YOU were one of the LIBERAL old bulls, part of the forces of power, privilege and money in the liberal cabal. Until you made the mistake of thinking that your status as one of the liberal old bulls made you untouchable, and tried to throw single handedly throw an election.

Awww, my heart bleeds for her, it really does. Send her to my house and I'll comfort her.

You self righteous, IRRELEVANT swine. You have never suffered a day in your life, except perhaps for the day you lost your job for committing sedition by trying to throw a Presidential election. This man makes me want to puke.
Mr. “Fake but True” has set his standard...all fake should be considered true if it suits the liberal agenda...what a washed up has been...wonder if anyone watches his show ... “Dan Rather Retorts”...
Why does The Hill care what Dan Rather thinks?
I am surprised that he didn’t say that the Rape allegations were “fake” but accurate.
Speaking of old white bulls Dan.
Dan Rather was a Hero to the Viet Cong
“For most women and many men it’s a bitter, devastating loss. Which makes it all the sweeter for the old bulls, and for the forces of power, privilege and money everywhere.”
This message brought to you by George Soros.
Hmmm...be a “Hero” to Dan Rather and his allies, the type of people who view Judge Kavanaugh as an egg to be broken for their Leftist omelette and the mentally ill people who believe he our of the gate, or...be a “Hero” to the Constitution and America...
Hm. I am so undecided. I just cannot figure this out.
The lady on the left is Shelly Mark Capito, Republican from W V. The lady on the right is Cindy Hide-Smith, Republican from Mississippi, filling out Thad Cochran’s term and running for the seat.
They were there to support Sen. Collins. Do not give Fake Information on this site, please.
Next summer, it’ll be Prodigy political board.
Dan Who ?
How old is this geezer? Isn’t he about ready to shuffle off this mortal coil? How does he know what “most women “ think?
Why does anyone give a SHIT what this senile discredited liberal moron has to say?
This guy is the “O.G.” of Fake News.
RLTW
Really? She had to be dragged, reluctant and morose, to be the 50th person to not vote to destroy the life of an innocent and decent man through a clearly manufactured parade of lies and felonies. THAT makes one a "hero" in your book?
In my book, she is the weakest teammate who needs a lot more training, or else needs to be booted from the team. We have goals to achieve.
You never missed your moment to be a dishonest sack of chit Dan.
They are the only thing standing between you and being invaded by Russians. In other words...we’re ****ed!
I regret all the wasted minutes of my life watching Derelict Dan on the news in my younger years. Before I became wise to the media left.
