It’s clear that Dan Rather has had just about enough of President Trump, and the Godfather of Fake News is quite offended:

I have never seen an American president take such glee in personally attacking American citizens. — Dan Rather (@DanRather) October 12, 2019

We often point out that the mainstream media hibernated for eight years during the Obama presidency, and Rather was obviously among the snoozing “journalists”:

Yes you have. You just prefer the one who called us “enemies”, said we had to “sit in back”, attacked our beliefs, and pretended to scratch his nose with his middle finger while talking about us, to the delight of his audiences. — While Supplies Last (@corrcomm) October 12, 2019

We were clinging to our Bibles and guns the last time an American president attacked us. — Sandy 〽️ (@RightGlockMom) October 12, 2019

Remember that, Dan? … Dan?

Those deplorable bitter clingers who voted for him are to blame. https://t.co/E2zxc4iD7y — Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) October 12, 2019

Not even when attacking the bible clingers? — HWDConservative (@HWDConservative) October 12, 2019

Let me know when he calls us 'bitter clingers'. — JB (@JB01939694) October 12, 2019

Hey @DanRather , were you ASLEEP during the @BarackObama @HillaryClinton admin? @realDonaldTrump singles out a few elites for well deserved criticism. B Hussein Obama targeted millions of citizens w his fed agencies. Which is worse? https://t.co/QAKUqu0Ck1 — Lars Larson (@LarsLarsonShow) October 12, 2019

Yes… Obama attacked bitter bible clingers, gun lovers, patriots. Remember that… ? https://t.co/tLkot65vL6 — THIS IS JUST CRAZY… (@TexGEOas) October 12, 2019

But “journalists” like Rather might not view those things as “attacks” because they agreed with Obama. As for the blowback, Rather might consider most of it to be coming from “bots”:
