McConnell Blasts Trump for Hypocrisy Over Immigrants Remark

“Well it strikes me that didn’t bother him when he appointed Elaine Chao Secretary of Transportation,” said the Senate Minority Leader about his wife, to whom he has been married for 30 years. They wed in 1993.

Trump appointed McConnell’s partner, who is Taiwanese American, to serve in the role back in 2016. She was previously on George W. Bush‘s cabinet, making history as the first Asian American woman ever to serve in a presidential cabinet.

McConnell rarely comments on Trump’s statements, often telling the press he wants to stay out of 2024 Republican presidential primary politics.
