This time, it’s the liberals who are accused of being racistand with good cause. A liberal Super Political Action Committee (PAC) in Kentucky tweeted that GOP Senator Mitch McConnell’s wife, former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, was using her connections to send jobs to China, and included a link to an earlier article accusing her of racism toward U.S. workers.
The Super PAC, Progress Kentucky, is committed to defeating McConnell in his bid for reelection. The comments about Chao and China were posted only on Twitter. They were along the lines of this tweet: “This woman has the ear of @McConnellPress — she’s his #wife. May explain why your job moved to #China.” The tweets also said Chao’s “Chinese money” was buying the election for McConnell; her family has given more than $80,000 to her husband’s campaign.
