Elaine Chao, former President Trump’s Transportation secretary, is declining to respond to Trump’s latest use of a racist nickname to attack her and urging the media to not repeat it.

Trump on multiple occasions has invoked Chao as he lambastes her husband, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and he did so again on Wednesday evening in a Truth Social post that included a racist nickname for Chao.

MEDIA Elaine Chao: Media shouldn’t repeat Trump’s racism BY ZACH SCHONFELD - 12/29/22 10:18 AM ET SHARE TWEET Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his wife, then-Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao Samuel Corum/Pool via AP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his wife, then-Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, wait for McConnell to be sworn in during a reenactment ceremony in the Old Senate Chamber at the Capitol on Sunday, Jan. 3, 2021. Elaine Chao, former President Trump’s Transportation secretary, is declining to respond to Trump’s latest use of a racist nickname to attack her and urging the media to not repeat it.

Trump on multiple occasions has invoked Chao as he lambastes her husband, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and he did so again on Wednesday evening in a Truth Social post that included a racist nickname for Chao.

“I think it’s very helpful if the media does not repeat that racist tweet,” Chao told Kaitlan Collins on “CNN This Morning.” “I mean, if it were the N-word or any other word, the media would not repeat it. But the media continuously repeats his racist taunt.”

The attack came as part of a post criticizing McConnell for voting for the $1.7 trillion omnibus package to fund the government into next year.

They are scum, no doubt. But Trump’s behavior is a self-inflicted mortal wound.

Absolutely correct. I wish Trump would concentrate on that instead of playing silly name games.

For those not in the know, Mitch McConnell’s father-in-law gave Mitch and his wife a gift of at least $5 million. And the father-in-law has very close ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

When you accept a gift of $5 million, you’ve got to know that there will be strings attached.
