The wife of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) did something "bizarre" three days after he was hospitalized for a possible heart attack, according to a new report.

Elaine Chao, Transportation secretary during Trump's first administration and McConnell's wife since 1993, left the country, the Daily Beast reported Saturday.

Chao flew to Beijing to discuss China-U.S. relations with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng on June 17, according to the Daily Beast and Chinese media.

This was three days after McConnell, 84, was reportedly found "unconscious" and rushed from his home in Washington to the hospital, reports show.

McConnell's spokesperson confirmed that day that the former Senate GOP leader had been hospitalized.

Could this be an indication of how bad off McConnell just might be? Do you think she'll be back if he is this bad?

Nothing bizzare at all given she’s a CCP asset.

she was trying to reassure the PRC leadership that Mitch was just fine [obviously, she could care less about what USA “leadership” and citizens thought]

McConnell lost the will to live after he was stripped of his title and position. He became a nobody in the Senate. That's a big deal for these guys.

Not surprising to me, given most people in the country don't give a damn about the state of the country and citizens on the other side of the aisle.

“Something bizarre”?

Emptied the safe deposit box and flew to Beijing?

Why does every article neglect to mention that Elaine Chao was in W’s cabinet as Secretary of Labor?

She’s CCP, not Taiwanese.

She was born in Taiwan and came to America, but that doesn’t matter in regards to corruption. China corrupts plenty of people who not ethnically Chinese.

McConnell is the RNC Mr Moneybags, the gatekeeper, kiss his ring, the longest running Senate Republican Leader ever.

Sure the CCP wants to know precisely how much longer the batteries will last until their tool runs out of power? Can they still use him to sabotage the midterms, can they keep his true condition secret until then or not? Yes, they have lots of questions for Elaine Chao.

Exactly. As is he.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she tried to kill him because he was going to spill the beans or otherwise compromised.

She was sitting on a couch with her arm around Mitch and he nodded his head to the question of backing China on a pending bill. Liked his light blue windbreaker.

After his stroke, Woodrow Wilson’s wife used to emerge from the closed bedroom and tell the Congressional leaders and cabinet members how Wilson had told her they should vote on bills. She was believed to be the surrogate President after that as no one was allowed to see Wilson but her.

“An immigrant to this country, Elaine L. Chao arrived in this country at the age of eight, speaking no English.” —From her official website.

“Ruth and the girls traveled aboard a cargo ship. The ocean journey from Asia to America took 37 days and was difficult and sometimes terrifying. Halfway across the Pacific Ocean, Elaine’s little sister, May, fell desperately ill. With no doctor on the ship, for three days and nights, all Ruth could do was bathe her youngest child with cold water in hopes of breaking her fever.

May recovered, and with their journey at its end, a new life beckoned. Adapting to American life was difficult for the Chao family and third-grader Elaine. They didn’t know anyone and had no friends or family to turn to. Every day, Elaine went to school and sat quietly, not understanding anything her teacher or the other students said.”

Anyone else notice how many luminaries seem to have a Chinese spouse/partner?

She may have assaulted him, which caused a heart attack, and fled back to her ccp overlords.
