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.

She could have been fake, but accurate.
American Hero!
Dan who?
“Liberals seek to become heroes. Good people seek to do what’s right and in the process often become heroes.”
Very well stated!
The more years he continues to run his mouth the more I wonder if he doesn’t have a hammer and sickle tattoo on one of his butt cheeks.
Former CBS News liar...
He’s pretty close to just yelling at passersby from his front door.
It amazes me how Dan Rather can’t believe how stupid - what a pathetic tool - he is.
