Elaine Chao, Mitch McConnell’s Wife: 5 Facts You Need to Know

[Defiant]

I would assume he is trying to “curry” favor with McConnell by picking his wife. Now maybe McConnell will bend on the filibuster.

[MNJohnnie]

During Chao's first four years as Secretary of Labor, OSHA did not promulgate a single significant health standard.[24]

I work in Logistics, DOT has been out of control under O. Sound like Chao is just want we need at DOT.

So how about we base our thinking going forward on facts rather then continue to cling to hurt feelings left over from the Primaries?

She does less trouble to Sino-American relations at Labor than she would at State, INS or Commerce. She can be a fig leaf to the Chinese without doing anything in particular for them. Hey, it’s a game they like to play with foreigners so maybe we can play too.

70% of Asians voted for Obama, twice.

Very discouraging.

“This pick is troubling”

This pick is political. Mitch McConnell recently commented that the Senate was unlikely to take up infrastructure bills. So now Trump appoints Mitch’s wife and she is onboard with rebuilding infrastructure.

It’s not exactly Drain the Swamp, is it.

[VRWC For Truth]

Building a wall around the swamp ...

[TBP]

These comments are disturbing.

didn’t Trump run against China and its trade policies? (Not to mention human rights.)

[sheana]

She’s part of the swamp he said he wanted to drain.

THIS IS HOW you will know if Choa is BAD NEWS! See if the Left & media just let her sail through with no protest/vetting/character assasination....just watch and see. If they do, she’s one of them. She has no particular loyalty to the USA that I’ve seen.

Must feel good to know that Communist China is in charge now.
