Colin Powell, 84, dies due to complications from COVID

His family released a statement on Monday morning saying he passed away - even though he was fully vaccinated. Powell's wife Alma also had a breakthrough case of coronavirus.

It sure appears that way. I guess he'll use this death to promote his agenda.

Of course he has to ignore the math. But isn't that what they've been doing the whole time?
 
20+ years ago, i was one of those wishing he would accept the nomination for VP when asked

the GOP really wanted him....after he retired from the Joint Chiefs, he had so many choices

a great man, a great leader, and i think would have been a wonderful politician

RIP General Powell
 
Since we're already seeing it in this thread let's have someone watch Republican media over the next few days and see if they use his death as a way to have people skip vaccination.

Wow! I had no idea that he was 84.

RIP to one of the good guys.
 
One of the last and perhaps most respected from both sides of the isle military leaders and political presences, and speaking of one of the last true sincere and honorable Republicans. I did not agree with everything the man said nor everything he aligned to under Bush 43, but I respected his service.

RIP sir... you set the bar for military leaders to achieve for generations to come and will always be a reminder of what Republicans should be.

Welp, Republican media can use Herman Cain as a legit reason not to get vaccinated.
 
When in uniform i had the greatest respect for the man.

I can't forgive him for taking part in the WMD lie that led to the Iraqi Invasion.

But i will honor his service while in uniform.
