Former Republican Secretary of State Colin Powell on Sunday called out Republican lawmakers for having “nothing to say” about President Donald Trump’s militarized response to widespread unrest following the death of George Floyd at the hands of police.
“We’re not a country of just the President. We have a Congress. We have a Supreme Court. But, most of all, we have the people of the United States, the ones who vote, the ones who vote him in and the ones who vote him out.”
The comments from Powell represent the latest rebuke of the President by a former top Republican official.
