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.

He’d be moe believable if he came out of the closet.
Just when the Republicans sink to Colin Powell’s level, he bails on them.
LOL...was this from the Babylon Bee?
Has he ever actually admitted to voting for W? I can’t find proof like anywhere so that would make 20 years he hasn’t voted Republican
He was such a “staunch” Republican he couldn’t even vote for McCain or Mittens.
The ONLY good news this week....
Powell Your not and you never were.. Change over to the Dems!
I no longer consider Powell a fellow human being.
Collin you WERE NEVER a Republican go join the Lincoln project!!
What’s this the fifth or sixth time Powell has renounced his party affiliation?
This isn’t news, folks,.
John McCain and Mitt Romney were both too conservative for him...he hasn’t been a Republican of any sort quite some time now.
