Raw Story Article: Dan Rather: Trump is a Threat

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/he-is-a-threat-dan-rather-warns-americans-of-trumps-power-to-decimate-and-destroy/



If this accomplished journalist says this, we really know we are deep crap. We DU'ers are not new to this information.

snip of article

Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather on Tuesday issued a warning to citizens intent on stopping or slowing Donald Trump’s 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 Trump’s 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.’”

I definitely agree that Herr Trump is the worst, but what does insisting he "by that post" mean?

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.

"Insisting he" by that post just doesn't parse for me.
