He was fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>The media largely acknowledged Powell\u2019s \u201cblot\u201d on his record while also noting his status as a trailblazer. Powell was the first black U.S. secretary of state, the first black national secretary advisor and was the highest-ranking black public official ever when sworn in as secretary of state in 2001.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the time he retired from the military, he was arguably the most respected and celebrated American in uniform,\u201d Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday. \u201cAfter that career, Colin Powell could\u2019ve enjoyed a quieter life \u2026 instead, he started a new career in diplomacy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump trashed Gen.
