Former Secretary of State and retired four-star General Colin Powell on Sunday announced his intent to vote for former Vice President Joe Biden in November. According to Powell, President Donald Trump's actions throughout the George Floyd protests reinforced his support for Biden.

Political Powell then takes cover behind an opinion piece....Powell has never liked President Trump and like the PC-animal he is, takes swipes at our C in C whenever it behooves him to do so.

[rktman]

Because he’s stoopider than we thought?

[maro]

Is Powell preparing to be the VP nominee?

[dfwgator]

He didn’t like McCain or Romney neither. He endorsed Obama both times.

[mrsmith]

LOL!
How is it “news” that Colin is voting for a Democrat?
He always does.

"President Donald Trump's actions throughout the George Floyd protests reinforced his support for Biden."

Trump condemned the police action and ordered the DOJ and FBI to look into it. He defended peaceful protest and condemned violence, looting, and arson. Powell has a problem with that?

[Alas Babylon!]

Damn it. I don’t like the sound of that.

“”””Is Powell preparing to be the VP nominee?”””””””

I don’t think he wants his life looked into very much.

[MagUSNRET]

He was marginal at best in the Army, and is the poster boy for Affirmative Action promotions to GEN that are not earned or deserved! ALSO, he is a self absorbed jerk

[cnsmom]

Powell is a single issue guy and it is the Gay agenda.

[butlerweave]

because he like losers

[rktman]

Oh, has he switched sides?

[ifinnegan]

Who cares.

[Vigilanteman]

He puts tribe over country and believes Biden will do the same. Had he been white, he would’ve been cashiered out of the military for being in the chain of command during the My Lai affair, but Nixon needed a token, so he skated.

[conservativepoet]

For Powell to openly support Biden after all Biden’s “dementia moments” is profoundly telling. First, he thinks people are there just to be manipulated. Second, I think he’s got serious baggage they’re using against him. How can a general be this stupid?

[cotton1706]

If John McCain was too conservative for him, did the media really expect him to support Trump?

The coming election is going to be glorious when they realize they’ve thrown every artillery piece in their arsenal at Trump and he will remain standing.

Their influence is done. And Colin Powell has no influence at all, except to people who think just like him.

[Fai Mao]

I used to respect Colin Powell

[Grampa Dave]

Virtue signaling pays big, everybody’s trying to cash in!

[American in Israel]

To stay out of prison?

[Gay State Conservative]

Why? Because he’s a Rat.In fact,I’d wager everything I own that Colon has never voted for a Republican in his life.
