The private angst over Donald Trump’s racist attacks on Elaine Chao goes public

You are dead wrong. Not all Taiwanese believe they are Chinese. It is a very complex issue. The first issue is we need to define "what is Chinese?"

how am I dead wrong if its a complicated issue???

Over the past several months, the leading Republican presidential candidate has launched a series of racist attacks on the wife of the Republican Party’s Senate leader, a woman who once served in his Cabinet.

But while former President Donald Trump’s taunts at Elaine Chao — demeaning her as “Coco Chow” or a variation of Mitch McConnell’s “China-loving wife” — have been mostly met with silence from fellow GOP officials, the main target of them is now speaking out.

“When I was young, some people deliberately misspelled or mispronounced my name. Asian Americans have worked hard to change that experience for the next generation,” Chao said in a statement to POLITICO. “He doesn’t seem to understand that, which says a whole lot more about him than it will ever say about Asian Americans.”

On at least a half a dozen occasions, Trump has taken to his social media platform, Truth Social, to criticize McConnell’s leadership, and to suggest, among other things, that he is conflicted because of his wife’s connection to China. Last fall, in a message widely viewed by Republicans and Democrats as a threat, he said that McConnell “has a DEATH WISH.”

“Trump’s repeated racist attacks on Elaine Chao are beneath the office he once held and particularly despicable in this moment when the Asian American community has been subject to threats and harassment,” said Alyssa Farah, a former administration official turned critic of Trump.

“It’s a bizarre obsession he has with her,” said Scott Jennings, a Republican strategist and former McConnell aide. “If you heard someone on the street making these rants you’d expect to see them in a sandwich board or a straight jacket.”

He was impeached twice.

Lot of good it did you losers.

For someone who wins awards, you probably ought to pay better attention to current events.

Nothing to say about Trump who's a racist asshole? He's another example of not putting a silk hat on a pig & expecting it to look good.

 

[Clipper]

Dims like to dissect Trump's every utterance.... it distracts from their proclivity for fucking children, which is still considered somewhat distasteful.... even in their own circles.

What's there to disect? The fact that Trump is a racist pig & a deranged psychopath?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

What’s a sandwich board?

 

[surada]

what else can you mock them for??

Trump has trashed many women in the past 7 years. Don't you get it?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Everything with the shitlibs is "nuanced".

It requires convoluted, incoherent explanations to get from Point A to Point Racism... well, that and a measure of industrial-grade lying.

I find it more productive to laugh and point at them rather than to actually engage and play along with their mental illnesses.

You’re just now realizing your own lack of sophistication. Good for you. Most never do.

This is a new look you guys are trying out...starting the discussion off with accusations of racism instead of waiting until your argument falls to pieces and is exposed before trotting out the formerly old reliable...
...frankly it comes across as just desperation but then these are desperate times so lemme know how this pans out for ya...ya know, as a tactic.

What exactly did trump say that was racist though?

Is it?

Trump would have been impeached twice if McConnell did not have his back.

McConnells wife is from Taiwan. Taiwan is not known for their affinity for China

You lying slime did impeach him twice, for nothing I might add.

 

[miketx]

What exactly did trump say that was racist though?

Anything he said the lying howlers will say is racist or they will pretend and say "you know".

 

[ThisIsMe]

So mocking someone for a Chinese name is not worthy of comment?

Trump has trashed many women in the past 7 years. Don't you get it?

And??

 

[ThisIsMe]

Anything he said the lying howlers will say is racist or they will pretend and say "you know".

Yeah. I’m just trying to figure out…was it “coco chow”? Did he spell it “chow” or did he say “coco chao” and the left are saying he said “chow”. In either case, is “coco” or “chow” inherently racist? Or was he just making fun of her name…..which million last of dems have done to trump (dump, drumpf, etc..)

McConnell and his wife are only interested in getting rich at the expense of taxpayers.

I know.... that might be a little white lie, so to speak. I picture some old black women who go to church twice a week who might still vote D (although most of them have converted to R) and they probably don't want to fuck kids.

I'll keep it real and leave it at "most Dims like to fuck kids".
