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.

This phony! An affirmative action lickspittle. He was never a Republican, and only assumed the label when it served his interests. I have utter contempt for this pariah.

That is correct. He hasn’t been a Republican or true conservative for YEARS, if ever. Go away.
