Former Secretary of State Colin Powell blasted Donald Trump as a "national disgrace" and "international pariah" in a personal email exchange that was leaked online by hackers.
Powell, a retired 4-star general and a Republican, confirmed the authenticity of the emails to NBC News.
"The hackers have a lot more," he added.
A subsequent email on Aug. 21 slammed Trump for spurring the "racist" so-called "birther" movement — the consistently debunked rumor that President Barack Obama was born in another country.
"Yup, the whole birther movement was racist," Powell wrote, according to Buzzfeed. "That's what the 99% believe. When Trump couldn't keep that up he said he also wanted to see if the certificate noted that he was a Muslim."
- Of course this is what the media got out of the leaks. Even though it was Clintons staff that started the "birther" talk and the questions about Obamas religionIRNlun6
- Seems also questioning John McCains health was a huge topic they brought out as well...robotron3k
