Colin Powell tells the Republican Party to go to hell

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

General Colin Powell has been voting Democrat some time now, but he’s still considered himself a Republican – until today. Powell appeared on CNN today and said “I no longer consider myself a Republican,” marking the end of his decades-long association with the party.

This is notable because, until today, General Powell had always stated that he remained a registered Republican in the hope of nudging the party back on track, or as he once sarcastically put it, “to annoy them.” But Donald Trump incited a terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol, and too few Republicans have called for his ouster over it, so Powell clearly feels compelled to draw the line.
