Although never getting the chance to personally meet Gen. Powell, he did serve under him during his military tenure. While they shared differing political views, Gen. Powell according to Brad was \u201cwell respected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was honorable, he was a leader, and he was a decent human being,\u201d Berkwitt said. He also noted that Gen. Powell did not support former President Donald J. Trump. Meanwhile, the \u201cPetulant Child-In-Chief\u201d as Berkwitt likes to call DJT, didn\u2019t like Powell because he wouldn\u2019t kiss the ring of the fake news king.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe doesn\u2019t care about you, he doesn\u2019t have loyalty to McCarthy or anyone who kisses his ass,\u201d he reiterated. Berkwitt then goes in on how TFG\u2019s statement (that\u2019s most likely written in Crayola) released in the wake of the news on Powell\u2019s death. Trump took the time to call Powell a RINO \u2014 Republican in name only \u2014 and went on to rant about how the fake news media made him out to be a good man, something Trump expresses he also hopes they do when it\u2019s his time \u2014 and lord knows we are all counting down the days (kidding). <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>General Powell died on Monday after complications due to COVID-19. Trump immediately took the opportunity to attack Powell in postmortem, reminding us of his actions that followed the death of others TFG found not loyal to him, including Rep. John Lewis and Rep. John Dingell who were the two longest serving members of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>In his statement, Trump berates Powell on the Iraq War and mentions his disdain for how the media is treats his death \u201cso beautifully\u201d after his death. &#8220;Hope that happens to me someday,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeneral Powell was a man who cared about his country. He was a leader,\u201d Berkwitt continued. \u201cHe served a big chunk of his life, something that Trump never did.\u201d The statement coming from the former guy brings back a reminder to when war hero and Senator John McCain passed from cancer in 2018. \u201cI don\u2019t like my war heroes captured,\u201d Trump had told his followers about the late Senator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a petulant little child who lashes out,\u201d Berkwitt succinctly sums up his thoughts, stating what most of us have been thinking for the last five years. The episode really does give us civilians a glimpse into how our soldiers felt about the former Secretary of State, and deepens are understanding into how Gen. Powell was viewed by the service members who worked with him. Powell was a man of service to his country, something the former guy will never be.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808000;\"><em><strong>We send our condolences to the family of General Powell and appreciate the dedication he gave to this country.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lmapHcb06iM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>[si-contact-form form=&#8217;2&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Nikki Slusher On his latest episode the man with the pinky ring and New York thing gives us another #fuggedaboutit breakdown on the former Cheeto\u2019s statement regarding the passing of General Colin Powell and he\u2019s not holding anything back.
