snip of article
Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather on Tuesday issued a warning to citizens intent on stopping or slowing Donald Trumps agenda: Nobody said it was going to be easy.
The power to decimate and destroy is a lot easier than the energy it takes to build, Rather wrote in a Facebook post. That is the early lesson of the Trump Presidency.
Rather reference a post he wrote last week, calling Trumps infant presidency possibly the worst of any president in American history, insisting he [stands] by that post. But, he argued, it is worth noting that President Trump has had what he and some of his most avid supporters call successes.

Rather reference a post he wrote last week, calling Trumps infant presidency possibly the worst of any president in American history, insisting he by that post.
I definitely agree that Herr Trump is the worst, but what does insisting he "by that post" mean?JustAnotherGen

Dan Rather is writing very extensive posts on Facebook. You don't need an account to take a look. Just bookmark -because he is taking really deep dives on what is going on - at his page.

(63,172 posts)5. Oh, ok. The particular phrasing confused me though
"Insisting he" by that post just doesn't parse for me.
