BuzzFeed News reported Wednesday that among the hacked emails from Colin Powell’s account was scathing criticism of his former Bush administration colleague.
In fall of 2015, Dick and Liz Cheney co-authored the book Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America, part of Liz Cheney’s run-up to campaigning to represent the state of Wyoming in Congress.
Powell — in an email to Pres. Ronald Reagan’s former chief of staff Kenneth Duberstein — said of the Cheneys “They are idiots and spent force peddling a book that ain’t going nowhere.”
In another email, Duberstein said, “See acknowledgement in Cheney’s new book. Scary.”
Powell replied, “Scary and the usual suspects. Will pass without a trace with most Americans.”
