![]() ![]() No matter how much I might disagree with Howie Carr, it's a disgrace that a poor copy editor was put through the task of editing his book just to have the promo material butchered by its subject. When you plug a book that praises you, be courteous enough to the author to write with actual literature in mind. "Looking good," Trump said, slapping the economy with his wrench. But when criticizing an entire administration, maybe try to put an effort into making your argument at least superficially impenetrable. You can't hear an apostrophe when Fox & Friends anchors speak, so why should you have to write it? Totally understandable. "Her husband, the Old Broken Crow, is VERY close to Biden, the Democrats, and, of course, China.Possessives are hard. "Does Coco Chow have anything to do with Joe Biden's Classified Documents being sent and stored in Chinatown?" Trump posted to Truth Social on Monday. Trump also dragged Chao into his attacks on President Joe Biden this week after Fox News on Sunday reported that some of the classified documents found in Biden's possession had been transported to a Washington, D.C., facility in the Chinatown neighborhood. In a Truth Social post this month, Trump complained that the Senate minority leader and "his 'wife,' Coco Chow, who is a sellout to China," were making it "difficult for everyone else by constantly capitulating to Hopeless Joe Biden and the Democrats." Other recent attacks include the former president accusing McConnell and Chao of creating "unnecessary turmoil" within the GOP for passing the bipartisan Infrastructure Act. "What's actually concerning is her family's deeply troubling ties to Communist China, which has undermined American economic and national security," Cheung added. On Wednesday, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told Newsweek in a statement that "people should stop feigning outrage and engaging in controversies that exist only in their heads" when asked for comment on Chao's response. "And I don't make a point of answering any one of them."Īt the time of her interview with CNN, Trump had called out Chao and her husband, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, claiming she and McConnell have "BIG relationships with China." "He says all sorts of outrageous things," Chao said when asked if she'd like to respond to a recent insult from Trump. ![]() In the past, however, Chao has chosen not to respond to the attacks, telling CNN in December 2022 that Trump was only "trying to get a rise out of" people by using the "racist taunt." Among one of the most repeated is Trump's nickname for Chao, often referring to his former employee as "Coco Chow," a term first coined by the former president in September 2022 in a Truth Social post. Jon Cherry/Getty Joe Raedle/GettyĬhao, who was born in Taiwan, said she has been on the receiving end of several racist remarks from Trump since announcing her resignation one day after Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Chao on Wednesday spoke out against the verbal attacks from the former president, whom she served under during his administration.
