Romney Surrogate Sununu: Powell Endorsed Obama Because Of His Race

Romney Surrogate Sununu: Powell Endorsed Obama Because Of His RaceThe idiots seem to be coming out of the woodwork this week.

Check out this latest exchange with John Sununu.

PIERS MORGAN, CNN: Final question. Colin Powell has decided to opt for President Obama again despite apparently still being a Republican. Is it time he left the party, do you think?

JOHN SUNUNU, ROMNEY CAMPAIGN: Well, I’m not sure how important that is. I do like the fact that Colin Powell’s boss, George Herbert Walker Bush, has endorsed Mitt Romney all along. And frankly, when you take a look at Colin Powell you have to wonder whether that’s an endorsement based on issues or whether he’s got a slightly different reason for preferring President Obama.

MORGAN: What reason would that be?

SUNUNU: Well, I think that when you have somebody of your own race that you’re proud of being President of the United States — I applaud Colin for standing with him.

UPDATE: Sununu released the following statement hours after his appearance on CNN:

“Colin Powell is a friend and I respect the endorsement decision he made and I do not doubt that it was based on anything but his support of the president’s policies. Piers Morgan’s question was whether Colin Powell should leave the party, and I don’t think he should,” Sununu said.
