Liberal SuperPAC Under Fire For Tweets About McConnell's 'Chinese' Wife
From NPR member station WFPL:
"A Democratic group is under sharp criticism for controversial online messages about Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell's wife.
"For months, the liberal superPAC Progress Kentucky has attacked McConnell and held demonstrations at his offices and home.
"Recently, the group turned its attention to McConnell's wife, former Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, with a focus on her race.
"In a Feb. 14 Twitter message, Progress says: 'This woman has the ear of (Sen. McConnell)—she's his wife. May explain why your job moved to China!'
"The Tweet links to a website run by conspiracy theorist and radio host Jeff Rense, alleging Chao, who was born in Taiwan, discriminated against American workers during her tenure."
