Powell's response would have been "so what if he was?" and he pointed out to Muslim soldiers that died for the US in the Iraq & Afghanistan wars.

As far as Gavin Newsome, when it comes to the top 3 candidates in the poll I favor AOC but I like California and think they were ahead of the nation when it comes to many issues.
