Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday slapped down former President Trump’s statement that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country” by pointing out Trump appointed his wife, Elaine Chao, who is Taiwanese American, to serve as secretary of Transportation in 2016.
Asked about Trump’s controversial comments, which have drawn comparison to Nazi rhetoric before and during World War II, McConnell pointed out the hypocrisy of the remarks.
“It strikes me that didn’t bother him when he appointed Elaine Chao the secretary of Transportation,” he said.
Chao also served in former President George W. Bush’s Cabinet as secretary of Labor, becoming the first Asian Pacific American woman to serve in a presidential Cabinet.
He sure didn’t have an issue in 2015 and beyond when Trump was targeting the brown immigrants. Fuck you Mitch
Those were proven immigrants that didn’t specifically live in his house, though. It now affects him so it’s important.
Mitch: “My immigrant is the only moral immigrant”
holy shit he got slammed
he slammed him
did you see it
Got slammed harder than my space jam pogs.
Good to see from Mitch. Not something I say that often.
None of this rhetoric is new with Trump. This was all out there the first go around. Where was Mitch then? Now that the dog is off his leash and isn’t so useful he’s decided to “say something”. Seems too little too late.
I’ll bet Cocaine Mitch would still vote for Idiotler.
This maybe wouldn’t be an issue if you hadn’t enabled him for so long, Mitch. You knew who he was.
Hey, wait a minute… which state is Melania from?
Oh, he obviously means non-white immigrants because he’s racist.
Hope that clears up any confusion you may have had.
He pretty much specifically said that.
…Again.
non-white
But Melania is orange??
That’s only because he rubb–Oh god, I don’t even want to think about that. Nope, nevermind.
State of Denial.
Be nice to the 3rd lady!
“Melania Trump[a] (born April 26, 1970) is a Slovenian-American former model …”

But I’m sure it’s a genuinely good marriage that one…
Those immigrants are fine because they’re white (mostly)
Yeah trump has something of a… preoccupation, shall we say, with Swedes. He’s a bit too enthusiastic about the stereotypical Swedish blond hair/blue eyes thing, if you catch my drift.
Whether he’s marrying them or deporting them, he can’t help but make life miserable for immigrants.
