Racist Liberals Go After Mitch McConnell's Asian Wife

Awful. Racism has no place in America. Racist liberals must be called out.

Progress Kentucky, a LIBERAL Super PAC, has stepped over the line and entered themselves into a world in which they will likely wish they never even thought about in the first place. Why? Because they are racist fools that are about to receive so much bad press that even the future careers of individuals working there may stumble.

By MSNBC’s standards, Republicans are racist because they want to slow the growth of government dependency. You know, because the idea of balancing budgets to maintain financial solvency is really racially oriented, right?

Progress Kentucky, on the other hand, is racist because they are trying to make the race of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s wife an issue in his bid for re-election in 2014.

I promise you I am not making this up: they are trying to say that Sen. McConnell is making policy decisions about trade with China based on the fact that his wife is of Chinese heritage, claiming she has excessive influence over him. Check out their disgusting tweets their explicit ignorance:


FYI, McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, is the daughter of Taiwanese immigrants. (Note to Progress Kentucky: What is referred to as Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China are separate nations, but you wouldn’t know that while typing out racist tweets, would you?) She served as the US Secretary of Labor under George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009.

So, did Progress Kentucky apologize for the tweets? Ha.

A spokesman for the group, Curtis Morrison, sought to downplay the tweet in a comment to WFPL.

“It’s not an official statement. It’s a Tweet. And we will remove it if it’s wrong … People make mistakes in Tweets. It happens. Inferring that Elaine Chao is not a U.S. citizen was not our intention,” Morrison told the radio station.

McConnell’s campaign spokesman Jesse Benton released a statement:

“Secretary Chao and her family are shining examples of the American Dream: salt-of-the-earth folks who escaped oppression, came here with nothing, joined our great melting pot, worked exceptionally hard to build a thriving business, and then dedicated so much of their lives to giving back,” Benton said in a statement.

“It is unconscionable that anyone would use blatant race-baiting for political again. Progress Kentucky should be ashamed of themselves. We hope all Americans can agree that these disgusting tactics have no place in American politics as we try to bring people together to solve our difficult problems,” he added.

Even ultra-liberal ThinkProgress.org is calling them out! They noted that “[there] are a number of reasons why jobs in the United States have been outsourced, from inevitable globalization forces to corporate tax breaks that reward shipping jobs overseas. McConnell’s wife’s ancestry is not one of them.” They even go further to note that “there are also legitimate reasons to criticize Chao’s tenure as Labor Secretary; her heritage has nothing to do with them.”

Excuse my head for exploding, but you know it’s bad when liberals are calling a liberal group racist.

Doubling down on the move, ThinkProgress.org points out that Progress Kentucky released a second statement saying:


“Senator Mitch McConnell has a conflict of interest that many are afraid to talk about, and Progress Kentucky is not,” the group said.

Unbelievable, but I guess not so much for a group whose stated objective is not prosperity or greater equality, but this: “The Single Most Important Thing We Want To Achieve: Electing a new US Senator to represent Kentucky.”

UPDATE:

Progress Kentucky also went after McConnell’s sexual orientation for some reason? Via BuzzFeed…

A Kentucky progressive group accused Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of being gay in a pair of tweets.

In two tweets, both of which have since been deleted, Progress Kentucky accused McConnell of being gay, including calling the Senate’s top Republican “a gay-bashing gay senator.”

Both tweets link to a PRNewswire release from blogger Mike Rogers, who has long sought to try and out Republican members of Congress. While one of the tweets simply retweeted the release, a second tweet read “Is @McConnellPress a gay-bashing gay senator?”

Laughable.

 

The first two liberals to respond do not denounce the racism shown by the liberals, but they rather make a joke and attack McConnell.

So you're willing to let racism against Asians slide? Silent acceptance perpetuates racism...
