Colin Powell: 'I can no longer call myself a fellow Republican'
The Hill ^ | Jan 10, 2021 | Marina Pitofsky

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said that he no longer considers himself a Republican in the wake of the riot that broke out at the Capitol building last week.

Asked by CNN's Fareed Zakaria whether he believes "fellow Republicans" who have not criticized President Trump "encouraged, at least, this wildness to grow and grow," Powell responded that "They did, and that's why I can no longer call myself a Republican."

"I'm not a fellow of anything right now. I'm just a citizen who has voted Republican, voted Democrat throughout my entire career, and right now I'm just watching my country and not concerned with parties," Powell said.

You got a point there. I suspect Colon’s reasoning is different from most of us around here, though.

'I can no longer call myself a fellow Republican'

Of course you can, General. You're the archetype of a Republican.

Ah yes - remember how the Democrats fawned over you for lying to Congress and starting the Iraqi war?

Have you atoned for your crimes?

Do you ACTUALLY care about this nation? Or are you just in it to ride I’m the shoulders of greater men.
