Elaine Chao, Trump-era transportation secretary and Mitch McConnell's wife, hits back at Trump for giving her the racist nickname 'Coco Chow'​

• Former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao has spoken out against Trump's attacks on her.
• Trump on Monday again referred to Chao as "Coco Chow" in a Truth Social post.
• Chao said the racist nickname said more about Trump "than it will ever say about Asian Americans."

One-time Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao has hit back at former President Donald Trump, who has for months been posting racist diatribes about her on social media.

In a statement to Insider on Wednesday, Chao — who served four years in Trump's cabinet — voiced her displeasure at his derogatory nickname for her.

Politico first reported on Chao's response.

"When I was young, some people deliberately misspelled or mispronounced my name," the statement read. "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," Chao added.

Chao released her statement after Trump in a Truth Social post on Monday once again referred to her by the nickname "Coco Chow."

"Does Coco Chow have anything to do with Joe Biden's Classified Documents being sent and stored in Chinatown?" he wrote. "Her husband, the Old Broken Crow, is VERY close to Biden, the Democrats, and, of course, China."

Chao is married to Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Trump has repeatedly claimed without substantiation that Chao and McConnell are compromised by their ties to China. Trump has also called Chao "crazy" and described her as McConnell's "China loving wife."

What race is Coco Chow? Did Trump say Caucasians are Superior to Mongoloids?

 

[toobfreak]

Was Elaine the reward for Mitch secretly becoming another bought and paid chinese lobbyist working from high within the government to advance chinese interests?


I thought that was Joe's job?

How is that racist?

 

[SC Patriot]

Over reaching. Making fun of peoples names goes way back. I have been subject to it (and still am...all in good fun) and I have applied it to others (all in good fun).

Now here is the bottom line....do you prefer being called "Coco Chow" or "racist bigot homophobe xenophobe"...

Why do I ask?

Becuase ia was called everyone of the latter despite no evidence of it...But only because I am a conservative.

Tine to put your big boy pants on and stop making a big deal out of every freaking word that comes out of the mouths you disagree with.

Trump makes fun of everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I figure she HAS to be a gifted bride from Jinping, JG-- -- I mean, what woman would want Mitch much less marry that guy?

They were made for each other.

Wouldn't it be something if Democrats could make fun of their own, too?

 

[toobfreak]

I was just down in Kentucky through the state in 2016 and Mitch is sure doing a good job hiding where he spent that 78 million dollars!

Safe spaces are not conducive to the application of common sense.

From inside a safe space EVERYTHING looks racist.

You intentionally gloss over all the things he's said about her, about his own Transportation Secretary.

So what.

I suspect the decision whether to go public with this was a difficult choice to make. For her and so many others.

Does a decent, intelligent adult lower themselves to engage to any degree with what is essentially a spoiled middle school bully, or do they do what is often done with petulant children, and ignore them?

Clearly she chose the former because more than enough people have enabled his profound immaturity. It just remains a shame that a former President would behave like an angry child and be celebrated for it. A disturbing reflection of what this country is.

When everything is racist, nothing is racist.
