Dan Rather Warns Donald Trump Supporters: ‘History Is Watching’; Huffington Post, 8/10/16

Ed Mazza, Huffington Post; Dan Rather Warns Donald Trump Supporters: ‘History Is Watching’ :

"“By any objective analysis, this is a new low and unprecedented in the history of American presidential politics,” Rather wrote. “This is no longer about policy, civility, decency or even temperament. This is a direct threat of violence against a political rival.”

Trump not only went against the norms of politics, he may have even broken the law.

“If any other citizen had said this about a presidential candidate, would the Secret Service be investigating?” wrote Rather.

“To anyone who still pretends this is a normal election of Republican against Democrat, history is watching,” he wrote. “And I suspect its verdict will be harsh. Many have tried to do a side-shuffle and issue statements saying they strongly disagree with his rhetoric but still support the candidate. That is becoming woefully insufficient. The rhetoric is the candidate.”"
