Former CBS anchorman Dan Rather said "he shed a tear for the country" after President Trump's immigration order began to be enforced on Saturday.

"Today I shed a tear for the country I know and love, the one I believe still beats in the heart of most of its citizens," Rather wrote in a Saturday Facebook post that has since spread widely, eclipsing 110,000 shares and 265,000 likes. "The United States became the most powerful nation in the history of mankind not merely on the basis is its fearsome military, as lethal and well trained as that may be."

"It wasn't solely based on its unprecedented economic engine, as dynamic and far-reaching as that may be America's greatness was forged by a Constitutional compact of grand and universal ideals that the country has tried to live up to ever since," the 85-year-old continued.

The pompous jerk that helped run Nixon, kissed Bill and Hillary’s feet and tried to fraudulently decide an election in 2004 brings us his crocodile tears.

It was funny to me.

I used to date a girl whose last name was Ball. You can imagine the jokes I had to put up with. She was hot too.

In protest, Rather-bias should make a complete public confession and tell the world how he lied about G W Bush. If he did this and through in an explanation of why he got kicked out of Marine Corps boot camp maybe we could listen to him again. After all he did win a lot of awards - ha ha ha Hey Dan GFY.

He went on Letterman right after 9/11, quoting the later verses of America the Beautiful while crying....I guess he didn’t make the connection between admitting Muslims into the USA and the towers falling down.
