‘Leave my husband alone’: Transportation Secretary yells at protestors confronting Mitch McConnell with Trump’s crying migrant kids


Transporation Secretary Elaine Chao shouted at protesters Tuesday demonstrating against her husband, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, while leaving an event. The protesters played a recording of children crying in one of the immigrant detention facilities filled by children who were separated from their parents under the policies of President Donald Trump.

“Why are you separating families?” one of the protesters shouts at McConnell as he leaves a building, as seen in a video posted by a Twitter user known as Roberto. While McConnell appears to ignore the protesters as he climbs into the car waiting for them, Chao began a shouting match with the group as she walked around the back of the vehicle.

“Why don’t you leave my husband alone?” Chao replies. Asked again why he’s separating families, Chao said. “He is not!”

“He’s got the power to stop it!” one of the protesters shouts back.

“You leave my husband alone!” she demands again.

2. I wish I could inundate both of them with pigs' blood

Except that there are actual useful things to do with pigs' blood, whereas McConnell and Chao serve no purpose except to promote evil.

6. I thought of this also. Too funny.

This is the first time I ever heard Chao speak, except for when she was kissing Trump’s butt in that lovefest cabinet meeting last year. She’s not very personable. She and Mitch deserve each other.

5. Why doesn't your husband drop fucking dead?

That asshat, fuck-face, douche-nozzle wannabe-turtle is more than a little responsible for the destruction of the United States of America as the crowning "achievement" of his entire worthless grifter life. I hope you and he both suffer tremendous pain and loss in the years ahead and I want you know now, while you both are cognizant - I will be laughing my ass at word of your misfortune and I will celebrate your deaths the exact same I will celebrate the exit of the orange shit gibbon...with song and dance and drink and great merriment.

Now, kindly get to dying soon...I have a party to plan at your demise...

New republican meme for abusing women?... 'let it go'

Elaine Chao advises women who experience sexual harassment to 'let it go'

Of course she says it during Trump's time in office.

My parents are Mexican immigrants, and I was infuriated that a man who blocked the Dream Act and a Trump cabinet official were invited to my campus. As a result, my friends quickly mobilized and went to the event that was held inside Copley Formal.

We asked why they were separating families and Elaine L. Chao started yelling at us to leave her husband alone. My question is why they won’t leave our families, friends and communities alone? As my friend said, “how do you sleep at night?” #FreedomForImmigrants

And to be honest, I cannot fathom how these movers of racism, discrimination and hate sleep at night. Cabinet officials like Elaine Chao might not like to hear it but she and her husband bear responsibility and we won’t stop telling that truth everywhere they go. #AbolishICE
