TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_"The Republican party has got to get a grip on itself," Powell told a crowd at The Jefferson Series, an event in New Albany, Ohio, on Monday. "Republican leaders and members of the Congress, both Senate and the House, are holding back because they're terrified of what will happen to any one of them if they speak out."
The former secretary of state, who calls himself a “moderate Republican,” added that the US foreign policy is "in shambles right now."
"I see things happening that are hard to understand," he said.
