Former Secretary of State Colin Powell reportedly had some harsh words for Donald Trump, calling the Republican nominee a "national disgrace" and an "international pariah," according to personal emails seen by Buzzfeed News .
In an email sent June 17 to Emily Miller, a journalist and former aide to Powell, the former secretary of State also said the Republican nominee "is in the process of destroying himself."
"No need for Dems to attack him," the email said, according to Buzzfeed.
"Paul Ryan is calibrating his position again," he said of the speaker of the House.
Powell also slammed the Republican nominee for promoting the birther movement regarding President Obama.
“Yup, the whole birther movement was racist,” Powell wrote in an email from Aug. 21, 2016.
“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,” the email said.
“As I have said before, ‘What if he was?’ Muslims are born as Americans everyday,” Powell wrote to his former aide.
In another email from July 21, 2015, Powell said Trump had "no sense of shame," in response to an article about Trump giving out the cellphone number of Sen. Lindsey Graham. Powell also called it a "celebrification of society."
More likely a promise of high office. No paper trail.
“Didn’t he convince Bush Sr. to stop the attack on Iraq”
Yep, in my view Powel was the driving force behind that.
An affirmative action General. Only got in Schwartzkopfs way. Read his autobiography for an eye opener. Was way underqualified for every job he was given. The first time he was placed in an Armor Brigade his commander tried to flush him. Had never been in a tank.
His biggest accomplishment according to him was getting a Buffalo Soldier Statue built in Kansas.
Helped get us into war in Iraq with his BS.
Shut up Colin. The campaign is designed to correct the damage GOPe people like you have done.
He’s a full colon, for sure.
““As I have said before, ‘What if he was?’ Muslims are born as Americans everyday,” Powell wrote “
Says it all
How many years has this scumbag lied about being a republican. Eff him, he’s a boot licker of the worst kind. FU Colon Bowel.
Powell voted for Obama.Twice. Obama wants Hillary.
So...Powell wants Hillary.
Freckin moron helped create problems in the Iraq War. He supported Obama twice. He is an anti-Second Amendment phony. Maybe we should be looking at HIS e-Mails ALSO.
Even his mother who named him knew what he would grow to be...a colon.
Another loser part of the Bush/Clinton Dynasty family monopoly on our government shut the f up and go away mr. Powell you are a disgrace
And that rodent Ryan HAS no future. He can open a fruit stand with Kaysich in Chicago.
Another Eff
You
To
Another
Idiot
From the guy who pushed Obama on the country
Amen...Both Ryan and Kasich should be running a fruit stand, they may be successful at that.
Colon was one of the worst AA generals ever.
Trump has one interesting trait, in that he continually gets people to out themselves in public.
The guy is a lightening rod for Leftists, Right wing radio talk show hosts, the news media, talking heads, the RNC, the GOPe, other Republicans, and even wanna-be Conservatives.
If he did nothing else but draw out our enemies and closet Liberals I would praise him.
