We regret to inform you that disgraced ex-CBS newsman Dan Rather is at it again, this time channeling Yoda from “Star Wars” in a Substack post sharing his thoughts on the “Let’s go, Brandon!” chants sweeping America:
As Yoda might say if he was trying to fight those who have turned to the “dark side” of our national polity, ignore it no longer I can. My thoughts on "Let's go Brandon." (Click here) https://t.co/PIzpgsqmYT

So, the grandfather of fake news doesn’t like our response to one of HIS colleagues attempting to hide disdain for the president? Good to know his ethics are still right where he left them:
Let's hope Rather got his fonts right on this one https://t.co/tqBfEczaiD

Rather also refused to explain *why* this is going viral in the first place:
“For reasons too mundane to fully outline here, ‘Let’s go Brandon’ has become a favorite chant and rallying cry for many Republicans as a stand-in for another three-word chant that you may also have hear: ‘F- Joe Biden,’ with F-, for the purposes of decorum in this newsletter, standing for a four-letter vulgarity.”
The “mundane” reason is *his* entire industry:

And in Yoda-speak, which he seems to enjoy now:

Somehow chanting “Let’s go, Brandon” about the elderly white man is due to bigotry and misogyny, which we’ll need som clarification on:
"Immature vulgarity, fueled by bigotry, misogyny, sanctimony, privilege, unseriousness, flippancy, and ignorance, is what is animating the former president, his base, and thus by extension the entire Republican party over which he rules." @DanRather says it like it is. https://t.co/8W1D12wCSv

If Rather really wanted to help, he should just retire and no longer comment on politics:
Dan Rather is arguably one of the biggest reasons Donald Trump became President. While conservatives complained about media bias for decades, Rathergate was what turned it into a pillar of right wing American politics. https://t.co/Jg53iLSH5h
