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."

Colon Powell was never a real Republican...ever.

Identity theft.

I have zero respect for that perfume princess.

[Gay State Conservative]

He’s a Republican? Who knew!

[leprechaun9]

I remember when Colin admitted that he primarily voted for B.O. because of his race! He is not only a data point on the quota system of Affirmative Action, but he is also a racist!

IMO......they had to get rid of NEWT to accomplish it.

Didn’t this Clown put skin color above Country and vote Obama? Didn’t this guy put his underling Armitage above POTUS? This guy is a loser.

[batterycommander]

Didn’t this asshole have a white Romanian girlfriend when he was SOS? Wonder what his wife thought of that.

[Ghost of SVR4]

Respect for THAT POS? He’d sell you down the river in a heartbeat if he thought it would further his personal agenda. Powell has no moral compass of his own, he goes the way the political winds blow and serves himself. F’him..

[TurboZamboni]

True. But then again, so is Trump.

Powell is a former republican and Trump was a former Dem.(until 2009)

Then Trump found someone he hated more than W in BHO.

I’d never trust Trump. His opinions change with the wind and he was a big supporter of the Kelo decision.

I don’t think they’re confusing anyone.

Unlike politicians you don’t need to interpret or decipher what Trump says. Straightforward to the point. And he’s not impressed or unfamiliar with the media. In fact he handles them quite well.

Excellent, intriguing point. And who did they replace Newt with? Compromised pervert Hastart. Followed by totally disloyal Boehner.

[Gator113]

Powell is about as useless as tits on a boar.

I see him as a dumba$$ democrat.

[BobL]

Bowel’s a lot like Jeb Bush - one would have to REALLY STRUGGLE HARD to come up with a statement from either one of these clowns saying something bad about Democrats.

...yet one can list statement after statement from them saying what is wrong with Republicans.

[The Duke]

Powell is what Gen. Patton would have referred to as a “paper hanger”.

[Mariner]

"The Republican pooh-bahs are getting every one to mischaracterize what Trump has said. Trump was clearly talking about illegal aliens and the RINOs have been consistently skewing it to immigrants."

Chrystal clear battle lines.

[Cyman]

His parents named him well.

[Godebert]

"I have a lot of respect for Colin Powell...."

Not surprising considering you think Confederates are Nazis, smoking should be banned, and the Washington Redskins should change their name.

[GOPJ]

Colin Powell voted for Obama... Hopefully he’s realized that he’s a democrat...

[uncitizen]

Alas he was just establishment uniparty authoritarian like the rest of them.
