Former transportation secretary Elaine Chao fired back at former President Trump for his racist remarks about her — insisting his attacks reveal “a whole lot more about him than it will ever say about Asian Americans.”
Chao, 69 — who has been frequently been referred to by the former president as “Coco Chow” — issued the rare rebuke of the former president on Tuesday.
“When I was young, some people deliberately misspelled or mispronounced my name,” Chao, who was born in Taiwan, said in a statement to Politico. “Asian Americans have worked hard to change that experience for the next generation.
“He doesn’t seem to understand that, which says a whole lot more about him than it will ever say about Asian Americans,” she continued.
The missive comes after Trump taunted Chao on Monday with the racist nickname as he accused her and her husband, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, of being linked to President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents.

A nickname from a guy who gives everyone a nickname is far worse than selling out your own country for Chinese scrilla.
BTW Coco Chanel was French.
People mispronounce my last name all the time. Never occurred to me they were trying to be racist by it. Who knew?
Not racist.
So “Coco Chow” is disrespectful, but the Rats calling Bush 41 “Chimpy McBushHitler” was perfectly fine and laudable..
Liberals call Trump everything in the book. I guess they don’t look in the mirror that often.
She’s been milking this country on behalf of her family and chinese masters for how long?
It would be really nice if her and her husband just took their sh*t and moved to Bejing.
But she doesn’t break her silence about the charges against her and her crooked husband. Says a lot
Poor rich baby.
She’s a Chyna asset and open border loon
One appointment by Trump I never understood
Steve Bannon “Elaine Chao’s shipowner tycoon father made his fortune thru business dealings with the CCP…in 2000 , after the Clinton/Bush UniParty gave China MFN trade status she attempted to infuse $80 million of CCP cash into the Heritage Institute …for control of the Republican Party …”
The French often use a couple of letters of your name for the nickname. My french daughters name is Juliette, everyone called her Juju. My mother in law was Andrea, she was called Dede. Zidane the famous soccer play was Zizu, because zizi is penis.
Immature ? Maybe
Racist ? No
Calling someone racist is the last refuge of a scoundrel
Strange how everything was going along pretty well and she decides NOW is the time to unload on Trump. How important does that make her gripe? It’s not. Nothing to see here. Just another virtue signaling broad who happens to be Asian this time.
Shut up, who really cares if you can’t take a joke. You are nothing but a freakin spy for China anyway.
Pulling the race and victim card is a sure sign of a leftist. So is looking like a turtle.
Yep. Mitch McConnell’s father-in-law gave Mitch and his wife a gift of at least $5 million. And the father-in-law has very close ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
Stupid nicknames don’t matter. $5 million bribes do matter.
Coco should take her Chinese millions and retire and go away and take Mitch with her.
It’s finally gotten under her skin.
In the last two Republican administrations, Mitch McConnell got a cabinet post for his wife.
But we’re supposed to care that she’s being mocked.
