President Joe Biden called Powell “a dear friend and a patriot of unmatched honor and dignity.” Biden added, “Over our many years working together – even in disagreement – Colin was always someone who gave you his best and treated you with respect.”
Former president Barack Obama said Powell was “an example of what America – and Americans – can and should be if we wish to remain the last, best hope of earth.”
Former president Bill Clinton described Powell as a “courageous solider, a skilled commander, a dedicated diplomat and a good and decent man.”
George W. Bush, who as president named Powell the nation’s first Black Secretary of State, said he was a “a great public servant” who “was highly respected at home and abroad.”
Classy.
And former president Jimmy Carter said Powell’s “courage and integrity will be an inspiration for generations to come.”
Then there was Donald Trump... Classy as always
"Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media. Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO, if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!"
