Schweizer: Mitch McConnell, Wife Elaine Chao Financially Tied to the Chinese Government
Breitbart ^ | 17 Jan 202 | TRENT BAKER

Posted on 01/18/2021 7:53:12 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer on Sunday detailed how Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and his wife Elaine Chao are financially tied to the Chinese Communist Party.

Schweizer said on Fox News Channel’s “The Next Revolution” that McConnell’s “position on China has softened over the years,” which he argued is due to the growing relationship between the Chinese government and the Chao’s company.

“Really, it goes to the fact that Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao, his wife, are financially tied to the Chinese government,” Schweizer outlined. “And it comes through the shipbuilding company that Elaine Chao’s family owns. That relationship was forged in December of 1993 when James Chao, Elaine Chao’s father, Elaine Chao, and the new son-in-law, Senator Mitch McConnell, visited Beijing, China, at the invitation of the China state shipbuilding corporation. This was a coup to Beijing because Tiananmen square had happened just four years earlier. Very few high officials went there. The result of that meeting and the deals that followed is that today the Chinese government finances the construction of the ships for the shipbuilding company, they build the ships, they provide the crews for the ship, and they provide the cargo for the ship. So, the Chinese government could pull the plug tomorrow on this business. And the reason they’re doing business with them, let’s make it clear, is because Mitch McConnell is a very powerful figure in Washington, D.C. And the problem is, Steve, that his position on China has softened over the years the closer that this commercial relationship has become, and he’s a direct beneficiary of what this business does.”

According to Schweizer, this is the “strategy” of the Chinese government across the globe.

“They seek out political elites and give them commercial deals,” Schweizer stated.

Yep and they got at least 10,000 dollar campaign donation from dominion. That’s why he never said much about the votes being switched by the machine. That story sure died down didnt it. Likely millions of Trump votes changed to biden. Trump was closer to 80 million votes than biden. I bet he didn’t get more than 65 million. This was won in a landslide. Sorry, here I go again.

Sometimes people are slow to catch up with the reality. News popped up years ago. But never picked up by others. It is unknown to most of people. It is really disheartening that they are so willing to be ignorant.

One day it is crystal clear that something went wrong. Then people say, "How the hell did this happen?" It has been known. People won't bother to know it unless it is spoon-fed to them.

I got a lot of flack by pointing out Mitchell is compromised. They probably saw it as an attempt to politically damage Trump. But Elaine Chao has been a real trouble.

I made that point many times over the past 4 years only to be told by GOP intransigents that, “she’s Taiwanese, not Chinese”!

There was a lot of white noise disinformation to distract from the real crimes that were going on in plain sight.

They are here, too. When I posted an article about her, a few of them popped and told me the same canned answer.

Both parties are hopelessly compromised. It’s why we need a Convention Of States. It’s now our only hope. Term Limits #1!

Unfortunately the parties at the state level are compromised as well.

This is the biggest story, that got the smallest coverage. Mitch is completely compromised and has been for years.

Chao is an immigrant from Taiwan. I doubt she has any loyalty to the commies.

How is this even possible?

All of the demonrats and a significant number of GOP are corrupt.

PDJT came on board and rocked the boat, hence, he must be destroyed.

Both parties are beholden to the CCP, that’s why they had to get rid of President Trump.

I wonder what the difference in valuation of Mitch’s CCP shipping business was after his coup as compared to before. Mitch doesn’t deal with the CCP through ham handed junkies. Mitch’s treachery is expensive. The McConnell/Chao/CCP shipping company will reap hundreds of millions. Thirty tons of silver!
