Powell unleashes on Trump, Clinton

Colin Powell, who is usually a model of public restraint, apparently was not so much in his emails. The former secretary of state under George W. Bush had harsh words for both presidential nominees in emails made public that were apparently hacked. In the emails from the past few months and going back to last year, Powell called GOP nominee Donald Trump a “national disgrace,” an “international pariah” with “no sense of shame,” who is leading a “racist” movement — because of Trump’s leading the “birther” movement and having questioned President Obama’s religion. He didn’t hold back much for Hillary Clinton, either, saying, “Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris”/National Public Radio. More here.
