Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell Outraged Over Racist Tweets about His Wife
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell was very upset this week at a group of liberals who took the liberty of insulting his Asian wife. McConnell’s wife, former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, was referenced with what he defined to be “racial slurs” on Twitter.
Cho moved to the US from Taiwan at the age of 8 and rose to become one of the most powerful women in the United States. But she is the subject of numerous campaign attacks in McConnell’s home state of Kentucky.
“They will not get away with attacking my wife in this campaign,” McConnell said.
“This woman has the ear of (at) McConnell Press — she’s his (hash)wife,” the group Progress Kentucky tweeted. “May explain why your job moved to (hash)China!”
The group has issued apologies, referring to the tweet as inappropriate. The apologies came after a radio station in Louisville aired reports on the incidents. The attacks were in reference to criticism that the Republican Party has faced for moving jobs overseas to China and other foreign countries.
“Elaine Chao is just as much an American as any of the rest of them,” McConnell said. “In fact, she had to go through a lot more to become an American.”
McConnell’s people are jumping on this opportunity to boost their campaign by using the attacks to their political advantage.
“Secretary Chao and her family are shining examples of the American dream: salt-of-the-earth folks who escaped oppression, came here with nothing, joined our great melting pot, worked exceptionally hard to build a thriving business, and then dedicated so much of their lives to giving back,” said Jesse Benton, manager of McConnell’s re-election campaign. “It is unconscionable that anyone would use blatant race-baiting for political gain.”
Progress Kentucky executive director Shawn Reilly released this statement about the incidents.
“Those tweets did not reflect our values, and we are committed to making sure nothing like that happens again.” He said.
Even Democrats are joining in the chorus of critics who are bashing the organization’s move.

This is the same redneck that made remarks about O’Drama playing golf!
What goes around; ALWAYS comes around!
NO SYMPATHY FOR HIM OR HIS SLANT EYED WIFE, BOTH OF THEM HATE BLACK PEOPLE. Just walk into one of their stores, and see how they treat Black people!
FVCK ‘EM!!!
You are dead wrong Derrick. White republicans love and cherish their black, brown, and asian spouses more than democrats.
Republicans dont like obama because he is a mealy mouth coward 2-faced immoral, no traditional Christian values, weakling who stands for nothing – not even his own people. Some republicans, just like some Democrats want blacks to have it hard but many will tell you that they dont want immigration reform because it will take jobs away from BLACK AMERICANS.
@ Christine.I believe you’ve been smoking to much crack. You must be turning tricks with the white man..
christine is probably a white republican!
Sounds white to me.
Like Coast Cooker said, you’re on crack! Let me add some more white drugs that will fvck up your mind, and can kill you; meth, cocaine, extacy, salt, sugar, flour, and white crackers (saltines and people)!
ALL OF THESE ‘DRUGS’ WILL KILL YOU!!!
YOU ARE ‘SELF DESTRUCTING’ YOURSELF…DIE; YOU WORTHLESS cracker!!!
Christina schytt my a-r-s-e/ There is no such thing as decent Christian values or morals.
It is time for you to leave Colorado and leave our weed alone.
ARE YOU SURE?
You know full well that White Republicans do not like Black, and neither does most Asians. Besides you had 3 Republican Presidents who were in office, and didn’t take out any foreign leaders. You, yourself is racist Christine. Probably a klanswoman and Republican.
Derrick & Christine,
Both of you are wrong. Christine, how in the world can you speak for a group of people loveing & cherishing their spouses more than Democrats. That was such an ignorant statement.
Derrick, I feel based on your responses that you and Christine are “Haters”. Both of you need to read Maya Angelou’s Poem named: Haters.
If you would get all the hatred out of your hearts you would feel much better about yourselves.
Mitch McConnell has attacked our President on numerous occasions, and although I do not feel it is the correct thing to do in attacking Elaine Chao, I also believe McConnell is feeling some of what he has been putting out. He appears in public to be such a bitter man.
FVCK YOU, TOO! And, learn how to write…DA.MN! I didn’t OVERstand a da.mn thang you said!
NOW, GO SUCK A CRACKER’S BIG STANKIN’ TOE!
From the way you spell you are too dump to understand. White trash!
Derrick
Find another page. Everybody is on to you
Everybody is on to you?
What the he.ll does that mean, you hillbilly cracker?
Ain’t nobody ON ME, bytch! I’m really sick and tired of you yankees coming on this site with your CORRUPT bullshyt!
You can fool these little chicken-head negroids with your fake azz names and comments, but I ain’t the one!
NOW, LET ME ‘CU.M ON’ YOU!!! BYTCH!!!
We are haters??? You piece of horsesh8t, we know you are paid by O’drama to squash the truth about all the dirt he is doing to the black community.
Our President????
You must be addressing that to the gays, hispanics, and whites that he supports. O’drama loves his white republicans more than he does your black azz and proves it every time he supports an issue that breathes life into them, while he chokes your black self with no jobs, no govt help, violence, and allows your black community to be taken over by satan worshipping drug lords. That’s love??? Why would any black person with a brain call him their own?
The truth is that Obama admitted he is a Republican. I knew that based on his economic policies of Reagan and his constant quoting of his favorite President Reagan.
Contact The Economist of the November 8th issue of Obama hugging Michelle saying, “now hug a republican.”
I met Ms. Angelou years ago and she is very stuck up.
Well, Well, how does it feel to be criticize by another party, just think what all the TeaPublicans, have put the President, and the First Lady through. Sarah Palin, Donald Trump. Darrell Issa, answering his phone, on National television, saying if that’s Barack, not the President, “tell him I am busy,”,. To h**l with McConnell, and his what ever wife, The TeaPublicans, was only formed ,because we have a African American, President,not they care anything about the deficiet. Their theme, is we want our country back, “TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY’, only means, get that Black family out of the White House.
I am not the least bit moved by his being concern, about what was said about his wife. Yes our President, worked hard,to accomplished all he has, so never mind that his wife, came from a family that worked hard. She came with her family, on her own, African American, were forced to come chained on ships, GET OVER WHAT EVER WAS SAID BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDY , OR TRUTHFUL ABOUT WIFFEY.
You’re a lie!!! The Tea party was formed to protect the interest and future of WHITE CHILDREN, something your black self and O’drama doesn’t care enough about your black children to do.
You are so stupid that you pity o’drama for flying in air force one, having maids and servants, and a white mansion to live in, While the black populace wallows in poverty, has no jobs, homeless, and his pathetic wife says “LET’S DANCE”.
@ Christine Why don’t you go and fire up some meth with clarence thomas..I bet you live in the last trailer in the back of the trailer park
Christine: Are ya’ sayin’ that we didn’t have all of these things goin’ on when white folks sat in the White House ? Are ya’ sayin’ that black folk are responsible for the plight they face ? You crackers always get the BEST DRUGS !
Just you keep on smokin’ and tokin’ and feeding off the bullshirt that you folk have been feeding the masses for as long as youse crackers been around. You need to wake up, and make your run for the White House. And see wher it gets ya’.
Are you smoking the legal marijuana in Colorado or Washington?
Christine, Im not sure what your issue is but you sound like you have major issues. I hope that you don’t have children who can some day come back and read this horrible dribble you are saying about another woman,mother,daughter and wife. You should be ashamed of yourself as a WOMAN!!!!
Tini, can the Kumbaya schytt. I hate you but I kive myself dearly. Do you know why?
Unlike you I won’t crawl, get on my knees, beg or suck for the white man’s acceptance in irder to gain permission for acceptance in mainstream society.
If there is a race riot you will side with enemy and that is considered TREASON.

I didn’t hear Mitch McConnell say anything good about Michelle Obama when those blue eyed devils said bad things about her.That gook wife of his want to be white,you know how they do when the get to this country.
I know Mitch is not upset over what was said about his wife, I did not hear him defending Michelle when his White Republican Friends talked about her. Mitch what goes around always comes back around, you should remember that! I do know that you have not done anything for the people of Kentucky, Oh! yes you have, you have kept your nose up Corporate America’s b**t, they own you Mitch, you and your wife are bought and paid for. It is time for you to go!
Elaine chao has said some of the most racist comments about president obama so she get no sympthy from me.
The only reason hes bringing this up because he knowes hes going to lose to ashley judd
What has she said?
who cares that that cracker head b*****d is upset. the way they say all the racist stuff about Mrs. Obama, makes the crackas know how it feels, but then again they have no feelings toward anything until it hapens to them.Bastards!!!
Dont fell sorry for Mitch Mc Connell. He is just getting back what he is sowing.Of all the afflictions IGNORANCE is the worse.
Get over it tea baggers, and take it like a Kenyan witch doctor. His wife is worshiping the same people who interred Asian Americans.
My people you’re on point …;-)
I HAVE SAY THIS MCCONELL IS A RACIST HIMSELF ATLEAST TOWARD BLACK’S HOW AND THE h**l CAN HE SAY ANYTHING ,AND THIS RACIST c**n HAD THE NERVE TO SPEAK AT THE DEDICATION TO ROSA PARKS THAT MADE MY STOMACH TURN ,BECAUSE I AM ALMOST SURE HE AND JHON BOENER VOTED ARE FOUGHT AGAINST EVRYTHING ROSA PARKS STOOD FOR,AT THAT TIME THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUNG RACISTS BIGGOTS.ITS SAD THIS WOMAN EVEN MARRIED SUCH A BIGGOT..
Well Senator McConnell, how does it feel that your family is the b**t or recepient of your type of RACISM. We have been victim of your racist policies all our live, so suck it up, or help to change America.I was watching the movie LINCOLN, and when I saw what Kentucky was like in 1865, and I look at you today, and I realised that NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN KENTUCKY in over one hundres years.You people were racist then and you are racist today. STEW IN YOUR OWN S**t, you help make it.
Elaine Chao was the worst Secretary of Labor we ever had.She was the VP of Labor relations at Northwest Airlines before she got that job.She was a union buster that is why she was put in that job.We never saw her the whole time she was at NWA.She and CEO Richard Anderson signed a contract with AMFA the Mechanics and related union at NWA with a no-layoff clause.After Bush made her Secretary of Labor Richard Anderson started looking for a way to bust the union.This guy said Bush invading Iraq was on the same level of 9/11 and he had to layoff thousands under the force majure clause.You know daggone well he called her and she told him she would not do anything when he did that low down mess.Beacuse by then he already had set things in motion for NWA to buy Delta,but wanted to bust the unions at NWA first.Delta is owned by Pinnacle which was the holding co for NWA.But delta customer svc rep was better than NWA= therefore the delta name survived.This sorry woman helped him hose the workers at NWA
What makes his wife is so special. What about the Blacks who were forced to come to this country in chains on ships not fit to carry animals who have contributed to this country. Where is their respect and praise.
AS the late Rodney King said (CAN WE ALL GET ALONE)and you wonder why racism continues when we ourselves are fueling the fire by the name calling and other derogitory comments we can have a decent converstion about issues without this would you not agree??
Quite frankly I don’t give a d**n about Senator McConnell and his wife’s issues, do they give a d**n about ours?
I guess when it comes to him and his wife being at the brunt of racist commentary we all now have to have some sympathy for them??
I guess they figure that us black people know a thing or two about racially charged comments so we should unify with them, well I’ve got one thing to say about say about that…. (defining ‘MF’ is ‘commiting i****t with your nearest and dearest’ YOU!!)
