Dan Rather makes no bones about it. He will not be voting for former President Donald Trump — and it has nothing to do with Trump’s Politics.
The former CBS newscaster took to X, formerly Twitter, to explain why he opposes Trump. It appears it has more to do with Trump as a person than as a politician.
“A few people have asked why I vehemently oppose Trump,” Rather wrote on Wednesday. “Let me make this perfectly clear. It’s not about Politics. I’ve voted for both parties.”
“It’s about me, as a patriot, rejecting a cheating, lying, racist, treasonous, fascist and vile man who attacks the free press, and wants to lead the country I love,” he said. “It’s really that simple.”
The responses on X varied from siding with Rather to calling it “fake news” — a rallying cry for Trump supporters.
