"I think it's unfortunate that Harry used that characterization. I'm very proud to be serving my nation once again. I'm very proud to be serving this president," Powell said in a TV interview Wednesday night.

"If Harry had wanted to attack my politics, that was fine. If he wanted to attack a particular position I hold, that was fine," he continued. "But to use a slave reference, I think, is unfortunate and is a throwback to another time and another place that I wish Harry had thought twice about using."
