Colin Powell's Comments Against Donald Trump Have All Sides Weighing In
On Sunday, former Secretary of State Colin Powell spoke out against President Donald Trump, saying [...]
Hero
Stop attacking America's heroes! Our military is what has protected this country from dictators like you in the past. Colin Powell is a HERO. Trump is the "real stiff."

prevnextTrump has called Colin Powell, one of the greatest heroes to ever don the uniform, ‘highly overrated’. This is the act of a desperate man who hides out in a bunker while his twisted racist version of America burns at his feet.

'Country Over Party'

I'm sorry, bone spurs, what did you want us to tell the four-star General? Just shout it from the bunker, my wifi is spotty.

Flip
prevnextWatching Republicans completely flip on their hero, General Colin Powell proves to me that Jesus Christ could resurrect and say he was voting for Joe Biden, and Trump supporters would find a way to smear him.

Influence
For those roughly my age (50+), Colin Powell's intense UN speech arguing for war with Iraq because of Weapons of Mass Destruction was a huge moment that shifted many off the fence & towards a reckless & needless war
He basically said, I am credible, trust me. And many did https://t.co/nuIbzHTAX7

prevColin Powell, who lied to the entire world about WMDs in Iraq, paving the way for an illegal war that killed and displaced millions of innocents, gave rise to ISIS, and destabilized the Middle East, is actually out here today lecturing us about lies. https://t.co/qDNyZK1Lrx
