Retired Gen. Colin Powell, who served as secretary of State under former President George W. Bush, said on CNN's "State of the Union" that he will be voting for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in November.
“I certainly cannot in any way support President Trump this year,†Powell said.
Other guests on the Sunday political talk shows discussed largely peaceful protests in the past few days over the death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis.
The question of whether there is systemic racism in policing was also addressed.

Colin Powell, a real stiff who was very responsible for getting us into the disastrous Middle East Wars, just announced he will be voting for another stiff, Sleepy Joe Biden. Didn’t Powell say that Iraq had “weapons of mass destruction?†They didn’t, but off we went to WAR!
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-fires-back-at-colin-powell-for-saying-hed-vote-for-biden/ar-BB15a4LlFact check were there WMD's in Iraq?
BOMBSHELL: New York Times Reports WMDs WERE Found in Iraq!
From 2004 to 2011, American and American-trained Iraqi troops repeatedly encountered, and on at least six occasions were wounded by, chemical weapons remaining from years earlier in Saddam Hussein’s rule.
In all, American troops secretly reported finding roughly 5,000 chemical warheads, shells or aviation bombs, according to interviews with dozens of participants, Iraqi and American officials, and heavily redacted intelligence documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
https://thepoliticalinsider.com/bombshell-new-york-times-reports-wmds-found-iraq/I have lost it now but even Time Magazine admitted that there were WMD's in Iraq. Many sources do and I am sure that the president has access to the information.
And who cares if Collin Powell votes for Biden Its no surprise, but Trump is so angry he has to promote more conspiracy theories that Saddam didn't have WMD's. What he doesn't mention is the years previous to the war where the Clintons and UN maintained NO Fly Zones and Sanctions that killed many people including women and children. It was past time that our country defend itself and Israel again this madman who paid Palestinians to blow themselves up in Israel. Who gassed his own people. Who killed his own citizens and dumped them in mass graves along the deserts of Iraq.
I will never forget Madeline Albright when she said the deaths of children were worth it. The costs of maintaining NO Fly Zones to the U.S. The deceptions of Saddam while trying to conduct the Weapons inspection...………..
Its a liberal talking point...………..There were no WMD's. Who's side is he on?
