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."
Colon Bowel’s 15 minutes expired a decade ago! ...
YUp. How about those baked bean teeth.
Powell. My Lai. He should have been kicked out of the Army.
This was before Hillary set him up.
He degenerated over time.
He is a disappointment. Had he retired quietly from his military career and stayed home quietly with the wife he would have more respect.
Got to love Powell’s observation about Clinton: “Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris.”
Colin Powell knows deep in his heart that he does not deserve the recognition he has received. He was a product of affirmative action. He took credit for the accomplishments of people like Norman Schwarzkopf. Like many sycophants he chose to present himself as a Republican. We can thank Donald Trump for exposing these frauds. He calls Trump a disgrace yet Powell is a good friend of Calypso Louis Farrakhan. He revealed his character in the Scooter Libby affair. He claims Trump, “is in the process of destroying himself.” Where have we heard that before?
What if Obama is muslim? How about the lie he told when he ran as a Christian? He would never have been elected as a muslim. Though we know Powell would have voted for him.
Powell, another gift from the Bushes. I despise them all.
Wasn’t he an original affirmative action pick by Ronald W. Reagan? He has been quite adept at fooling the American people.
Truly an affirmative-action hack...and racist loser. Too bad he wasn’t kicked - out of the Army during MyLai. He’d be a bathroom attendant in a 3rd class casino.
Colon, I hate to bring this up but you are in the position to speak about National issues only because you were an equal opportunity guy, throughout your career. STFU and go home!
Are we to believe that Colon’s first name is Sigmoid?
It is close to the rectum!
I guess Colon is ignorant of the fact that it was the Hillary camp who started the birther movement.
Amen to that.
I learned everything I need to know about Colin Powell when he chose to endorse a candidate because of the color of his skin instead of the content of his character.
