MTG brands Mitch McConnell's wife a 'communist spy' as she flees to China during terrifying hospitalization
2026-07-08
[DM] Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has made the extraordinary claim that there is a '100 percent chance' Senator Mitch McConnell's wife Elaine Chao is a 'Chinese communist spy,' citing her trip to China during her husband's weekslong hospitalization.
Was she near the end of her CCP assignment anyway ?
Chinese media photographs appear to show Elaine Chao meeting Vice President Han Zheng in Beijing just 72 hours after her husband was hospitalized after he allegedly suffered cardiac arrest.

'His wife flew to China and met with the vice president of China just days after he basically died, and they brought him back with CPR and took him to the hospital,' Greene said.
So MTG has "inside info"? Right
Greene blasted Republican leaders for what she described as their silence over McConnell's health.

'Shame on the Republican Party for basically staying silent while such a powerful Republican senator is laying in the hospital,' Greene said.

Greene linked her jabs at Chao to broader concerns about China, suggesting Republicans should be confronting what she described as Chinese influence as they focus on combatting socialism during election season.

'When are we going to call out a possible Communist Chinese spy?' she asked before adding: 'What woman leaves her husband's side while he is dead or dying in the hospital, flies to China and meets with the vice president?'
