Powell Blasts North Carolina Voting Law


With North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) in the audience, former Secretary of State Colin Powell took aim at the state's new voting law, "saying it hurts the Republican Party, punishes minority voters and makes it more difficult for everyone to vote," the Raleigh News & Observer reports.

Said Powell: "I want to see policies that encourage every American to vote, not make it more difficult to vote."

He added: "It immediately turns off a voting block the Republican Party needs. These kinds of actions do not build on the base. It just turns people away."

2. Last remaining Republican with living brain cells.

I wonder why he still associates with that Bigoted Party

3. Powell is a war criminal, but on this matter he is correct.

Powell is a war criminal, but on this matter he is correct. Pat Mc-Crony & co., should pause for a minute and reflect about how bad they are when even confirmed, serial war criminals like Powell are calling them out. But, somehow, I doubt that any reflection or good sense will enter the Mc-Crony circle.
