TPM: ProgressKentucky is a progressive group that first made headlines by announcing its intention to fund a tea party candidate to run against Sen. Mitch McConnell (R) in the 2014 primary. On Tuesday, the group’s leadership tried to defend itself after a series of tweets this month referencing the ethnicity of McConnell’s wife, former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, and her father’s business ties to China.
All they said is that McConnell's wife is Chinese and her father makes a fortune importing crap from Asia. And thus McConnell has a conflict of interest when he pushes Republican policies that encourage and enable outsourcing. And now everybody has a case of the vapors. Progressives need to toughen up. This is well within bounds. But look, you got a problem with it, fine, if his wife's fathers business is not the reason he's selling out his country and the American worker, let him explain what are the reasons he legislates like he's representing the Chinese Factory Owners Association rather than the people of Kentucky.
