WTF?
(CNN)Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao stood shoulder-to-shoulder Tuesday with President Donald Trump, the same man who railed against her husband, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, last week and demanded that the lawmaker "get back to work" on health care.
"I stand by my man -- both of them," Chao said, when asked by reporters what she thought of her boss's criticism of her husband.
Chao attended a meeting with the President on infrastructure at Trump Tower, and stood to his left side when he spoke to the press about his agenda, followed by a series of questions about his comments on the recent unrest in Charlottesville, Virginia.
After Trump finished speaking to the media, he handed the podium off to Chao, as well as Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney.

As much as I dislike Mitch McConnell all I can say is ... seriously? How the fuck can you stand by the man who is railing on your husband because his weak ass couldn't push a bill through like President Obama did with the ACA. How are you going to give your loyalty to a guy who will throw your stupid ass under the bus quicker than you can say coward.
She is an idiot. I would divorce her.

And the marriage continues due to mutual benefit.

For damn sure she has her own bank account.
