Hey ppl, relax, this is nothing new, insider political juice has been happening since our government was born, no matter which Admin is in office. I’m sure you have heard of the Underground economy, well this is Political Underground economic

Prosecution needed

Egregious at the highest level!😡

She should have never been given this position in the first place, solely because of who her father is. Smh.

Next, let's discuss Hunter Biden! His dad is president.

Sounds worse than hunter Biden

Huh.

Never trust a woman with big hair like that!

Everybody in the Trump administration use his/her position for self enrichment, especially Trump himself and his children

They do it right in your face. But please, continue about how trump MAGA 🙄

Annnd, then we have Joe and Hunter Biden...nothing to see here! 😂

There's a comfy cell waiting for her. Just ask Kwame.

Hold her accountable and tell her to lay off the Aqua Net hairspray.

more and more corruption......

JoseyRider Josey ? contact me please ? like to have you on board.

You mean to tell us that someone married to MoscowMitch and appointed by the Tangerine Toddler, is crooked? I'm shocked I tell you, shocked.

Endless stream of ick

Of course she did. She's Republican. What's the story here?

She is dreadful. No one is surprised. But doubt she’ll even get a slap in the wrist.

Why everyone is surprised! Being Corrupted was one of the criteria to be in Trump’s cabinet.

Same agency that thinks a magic yellow line makes for a safe traffic system. Dullards!

Nepotism much?

Corruption

🤮🤮🤮🤮

Is this a first?

it is now time to open the case

SACK THE CHINESE CCP SOW!

Any mention of her should always mention she is married to Moscow Mitch.

That's typical Chinese characteristics, she used her “face” 关系 to help her relationships.

Simple, bring her to justice. Prove her case or lock her up. Next...

These are the behavior of Trump people by the book from Al Capone

Just scratching the surface of T****’s SWAMP

You had me up to “edit his Wikipedia page.”

Shipping Heroin And Cocaine To America Children Is Frowned Upon.

It is crime by using government position to serve personal benefit.

That’s a no, no Elaine! But you knew that! Hubris needs to stop & consequences need to occur.

Lock her up!!

Lock her up

They investigate. Evidence shows they willingly committed crimes. The end! No member of the previous administration is held accountable.

Mitch sees it differently. It’s all okayed by senate majority rule & passed (into law ?)when laid on his desk. There was nothing wrong in his wife’s transactions. Just a little gop favoritism. What’s the big deal. Get a life, Mitch gets it at the expenses taxpayers & Kentuckians.

Sinking ship has holes and all politicians are rats, news at 11 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well what else can you do for your country.

Don't forget, she's the wife of moscowmitch

Lock that turtle loving bitch up!

We read these accusations against Chao and her husband; but, nothing ever seems to stick. Why can McConnell voice objections to the stimulus package, when his own integrity is in question? And, what will happen to Chao, even if these charges are true? Probably nothing.

Then she is a closet Democrat...

So did Ivanka. You know who didn't?

Similar to the Biden’s

Daaaang so who really belongs to china?

She also Took Millions in pandemic Aid for her own Company. How is that not ILLEGAL?

is anyone really surprised by this? thought there’d be more..

Of course! She was part of the Trump admin, it's a requirement to use her position for personal enrichment.

Of course she did

Also, we want to see her emails. All of them.

Bidenish?

CarolRenza This is no surprise

LeaderMcConnell guess your wife is as corrupt as you are. Now we know why you voted to not convict your dear leader.

This is Mrs Mitch McConnell, right?

LOCK HER UP !

MOSCOW MRS.

Another corrupt Republican is not a big surprise.

Ok the last one is just sad

Lock her assets up

She and and Mitch have milked their tenure in office for everything they could.

Didn’t buy for a minute she resigned when she did because of her conscious

WTF Cronyism at its worst?

Lock her up!

哇🐸

But...but...Hunter's laptop

Npr is getting into the anti china/chinese-american boat of conservatives. I have not seen this level of detail in tweets accusing against other non-chinese politicians. Sad that npr is losing creditability with such racist tweets. I guess the hidden hands has infiltrated npr.

DavidJCarbone1 PPP

ForgetfuP well at least nothing of consequence will ever happen to our dear officials, ever, no matter how grave the crime. from signing off on anal forcefeeding and prolonged torture like ripping fingernails out and literally killing prisoners to plain old corruption.nothing. so fun! haha

ljohn44 White collar crime is legal.

Lock her up

Hunter’s muse.

Oh, how naughty!

Mitch is prepping for his exodus before Elaine is indicted.

Not really surprising considering who appointed her to this position.

Shock! I can’t imagine them being corrupt! Not! It’s in their DNA

💖 PLEASE READ💖👀 WE'RE OUT OF TIME to secure His 'Aftercare fund' for years of proper follow up & meds, a new 💙 w/out it means He'll reject it & die. PLEASE, if U can't donate, just retweet so others can see, for a Child, Thank You!! AboysHeart

Lock her up

This is just par for the course for the trump admin. Anyone out there still think trump was going to really 'drain the swamp'? Come on dont be shy. You can admit it.

And the outcome is

Follow the money! “Ciao” Elaine and Mitch.

ordinary Chinese behavior

There is no greater joy than having financial stability and a life free of debts, that’s why I keep tweeting a comment about Rolandwolf123

If true, I'd expect nothing less from a Trump appointee

Merrick Garland is coming for her .....

Of course- this can’t be a surprise. AP CNN washingtonpost DeadlineWH USATODAY GOP

ErwinsWorld Now let's do Swalwell and Feinstein and Chinese spies!

So are any of these folks going to be held accountable?

Surprised? And you thought she was supposedly another poor victim, a-la-Melania... Just look at her Moscow Mitch, her husband's record.

But will there be accountability?

Prosecute Chao.

Fake news

'edit his Wikipedia page'

One thing we know for sure is that Chasten does NOT need DOT SecretaryPete's 'help' to market his book... IhaveSomethingToTellYou ⬇️

So did Joe Biden. No crime committed .

Isn’t she married to Mitch McConnell?

I would love to see this person in jail......

and that is why she resigned early, she knew mitch had to vote to acquit trump but they had a criminal referral on her, which shows trump owned them and had blackmail and quid pro quo.............they block every measure that isn't a tax cut or would actually help Americans

Now we know what The Donald had on Mitch . What over the top item does he have on Graham.

it is why so much of the GOP lies and conspiracies are projection, if you accuse 1st, the other has a harder time with the truth, they accuse Biden of chinese ties, despite having none because in truth Moscow mitchs wife and trump and family are knee-deep in bed with them

Sounds about what one should expect from the most corrupt administration in our country’s history.

Her dad is like 90. At what age does gritting stop?

Don’t they all, tho? I mean, really...

Haven’t read article but this is small potatoes in trumposphere. Nor do I care about Pompeo’s pens. Don’t want money wasted here. Biggest earth shattering scandals only. Ppl expect politicians to do this and they also expect politicians to investigate to death. Move on. Think big

She has a new job working w other high profile GOP at the Hudson Institute. I am sure she will retain this position & they will welcome both her & Pompeo. Sigh

No corruption there 🙄 Sheesh. Why don't we investigate every single Republicans on corruptions etc. Why this effing double standard?

lies are about keeping control.. exposeHATE4PROFIT time to DefundFASCISTS BANKRUPTtheTRUMPS and ALL who support them. Accountability is key in 2021!!

.... and they target hunter biden

I'm not saying Mitch McConnell is a Chinese asset, but...

kimmythepooh Didn’t the whole cabinet do that

PaulDereume Elaine Chao deserves to be under indictment at the very least. Let’s get it done!

BREAKING: Hunter Biden was disguised as Elaine Chao for the last 4 years and no one noticed.

Of course she did. The definition of republicanism today is synonymous with grifting.

Why doesn't anyone say McConnellPress's wife? MoscowMitch wouldn't go without his cut. CorruptAndComplicitGOP

Edit his wikipedia page lol

Corruption acts it’s best.

Crooked just like her husband LeaderMcConnell

Notice how this is framed..no mention of Mitch

Al Franken resigned for far less than this.

The fish rots from the head

305Resistance I am shocked, simply shocked. Haha, just kidding.

Bribe GQP senators for votes

FIFTH Cuomo victim just came forward and NPR is still obsessing over Elaine Chao. 🤡🤡🤡

why would this be surprising ? lets dig deeper and get rid of this leech and her hubbie

Trump admin SOP

Just a reminder to everyone out there that this is Mitch McConnell's wife coordinating with China apparently. She's also been in every Republican cabinet since 2001. TwoEconomies TwoJusticeSystems CorruptionRunsDeep

God, that's so petty.

Bring down Elaine and Mitch won't have any choice but to resign. He's already making noise about retiring and he was just re-elected.

Investigate SpeakerPelosi purchase of Tesla stock before Biden announced an electric car initiative.

This is all terribly corrupt. Also, getting Wikipedia pages edited with correct information such that they stay that way is stupidly difficult.

I thought she resigned over the coup attempt. 🤷‍♀️

ElaineMosChao GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPHypocrisy

Lock her up!

She is McConnell's wife

Hold her accountable

jbphotoAR All while maintaining a glorious 1950s hairdo, just like Mitch wants it

You think Mitch could be persuaded to vote with the Democrats in return for, you know...

kzoorunningmom So it wasn't really Biden and China It was McConnell/Former Guy and China

You’re leaving out all of the $$$ that she made for her family’s company in her position as Transportation Secretary...

Keep track of his awards and edit wikipedia? are you nuts NPR? is this all you can do?

I hope not, what a shame it would be for a woman in such a position to abuse her role🤦🏼‍♀️

Is not what you know, is who you know !

So she’s the reason why I couldn’t use Wikipedia as a source in middle school

ModaMags Lock her up

The report forgot about the staff giving her dad a facelift *it didn't turn out so well

Keep track of his awards? Edit his Wikipedia page!? That was probably because he is old and needed help with technology. This is a stupid tweet

The DOJ declined because...? Did they give a reason? Can we resubmit a request?

So what? They never get in trouble. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is true. Now do the democrats, there’s a bunch of bad ones of those too.

As long as Elaine Chao didn't go outside the bounds of Trump's ethics and standards, she is safe.

When you have 36 honory doctorates like Elaine, you can skydive in your living room and then run to the gym and still have time to help dad.

But we were told the swamp would be drained.

And is anything going to happen to her? Probably not. Modern politics suck.

She's Mitch's wife. What did everyone expect? Not news.

In any sane democracy, Mitch would have to resign over this. Or he would do so over his embarrassment. There's NO WAY he didn't know what was going on.

What a surprise! ...not

And nothing will be done about it because rich people don't have consequences

Mitch's wife over here acting like Mitch

Shocked! I'm shocked to learn there was corruption in the Trump administration!

PRISON TIME!!

You forgot * fix his WiFi

thank you very much for your work

Smells witch hunt. Edit his wikipedia page? LOL

I. Am. Shocked!!!

What no way I didn’t see that coming .....😒 that’s me shocked.

This is officially the dumbest npr story of all time.
