Asked by CNN’s Manu Raju if he was “comfortable with your party’s leading presidential candidate referring to legal immigrants as people who are poisoning the blood of our country,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday said “That didn’t bother him when he appointed [his wife] Elaine Chao Secretary of Transportation.” You know because Chao’s an immigrant from Taiwan who Trump has more than once since 2021 called her “Coco Chow” and suggested she was a Chinese Communist fifth columnist, so that he hired her in 2017 means Trump isn’t racist.
