Colin Powell: "Trump A National Disgrace"

Powell's emails were hacked (likely by the Russians) and it was revealed how he feels about Trump. Ironically when confronted by the media Powell said he stands by his emails.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a retired four-star general who served under three Republican presidents, slammed GOP nominee Donald Trump as a “a national disgrace” and an “international pariah,” according to his personal emails seen by BuzzFeed News.


The remarks came in a June 17, 2016, email to Emily Miller, a journalist who was once Powell’s aide. In that same email Powell also said Trump “is in the process of destroying himself, no need for Dems to attack him. [Speaker of the House] Paul Ryan is calibrating his position again.”

In an Aug. 21 email from Powell to Miller, he blasted Trump for embarking on a “racist” movement that believes President Obama was not born in the US.


“Yup, the whole birther movement was racist,” Powell wrote. “That’s what the 99% believe. When Trump couldn’t keep that up he said he also wanted to see if the certificate noted that he was a Muslim.”


As I have said before, ‘What if he was?’ Muslims are born as Americans everyday,” Powell wrote to his former aide.


In another email, Powell wrote to a recipient about his aversion to giving Trump any more media attention: “To go on and call him an idiot just emboldens him.”


In a July 21, 2015, email, in response to a news article about Trump’s giving out US Sen. Lindsey Graham’s phone number, Powell called it a “Celebrification of society,” adding that “Trump has no sense of shame.”

Powell told BuzzFeed News, “I have no further comment. I’m not denying it.”

Is Powell still calling himself a Republican?

Powell is a decent and patriotic man, even if he is a Republican.

Decent and patriotic Americans see through the Drumpf bullshit machine.

Bullies never win.

No one cares what Powell thinks. He supported Obama. He lied about WMDs. Very unimpressive.

"July 21, 2015"

Who cares?

I can hardly think of a more ringing endorsement for Trump than a bashing by the race baiting RINO, Colin Powell.

Instead of attacking Trump you guys should go back to defending Shrillary.

She needs it.

He supported the Iraq war, what a mistake. He was willing to kill thousands for his own personal glory.

Powell doesn't have kind words for Hillary in those emails either. Powell was furious with Clinton on trying to "pin" her email scandal on him. He said the Clinton "Mafia" tried to drag him in. He said Clinton "gouged" a university on a speaking engagement. Questioned her health. I guess the OP didn't read the whole article.

Cherrypicking. He does that, ya know.

Let's see. I might be an interesting use of time to find out how many of you howlers praised Powell when he was working for Shrub.

Last night, Corey Lewandowski made a total ass of himself trying to defend DDrumpf's bromance with Putin and talk of nuclear proliferation. They even defended the ongoing violence at his rallies.
