Washington Examiner ^ | 7/8/15 | PAUL BEDARD

Unprovoked, former Republican Secretary of State Colin Powell Wednesday night slammed GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump's focus on barring illegal immigrants.

At a Library of Congress lecture conference to promote bipartisanship, he said, "I would like to go to every Trump hotel and ask all the employees not to show up tomorrow. They'd be nobody there, they're immigrants."

I think someone should put up a sign at the BORDER, directing every Illegal to the homes of these DO GOODERS, since they seem to welcome them with open arms.

I'm sure they have room in their back yards, garages, all the food they can eat, swimming pools, life of Riley.

I have a lot of respect for Colin Powell but as you say, who cares what he says at this point. He’s become predictably partisan and is quite comfortable with Dems and GOPe.

Colin Powell rips Trump? Another piece of evidence that the only people opposing his illegal immigration stance are liberals! You are fully opposing him right?

Classist statement aside Powell doesn’t know the difference from immigrants and foreign nationals.

Was a time that one would be court-martialed for something like that.

Colin Powell is flailing his arms, barking and looking for attention.

I’m sure those that hate Trump and agree with Powell will be here shortly.

Colin Powell is Wesley Clark’s brother from another mother.
