What a horrid couple.

During the George W. Bush administration, Elaine Chao was Secretary of Labor. At one point during her tenure, she was testifying in a Senate hearing and asked the following question:

"What is the current minimum wage?"

This was her answer: "I don't know, 7 something."

She was Secretary of Labor and did not know the f***ing minimum wage.

Chao and McConnell are corrupt poseurs.

Thoroughly vile to their core. Not a single redeeming quality between the two of them.

at the celebration of the "golden Spike" representing the Chinese. As a Chinese man whose family has been here since the 1880's and suffered through discrimination that repulsed me. She had nothing to do with the Chinese who built the railroad. She came here wealthy in the 1960's.
