Elaine Chao stands by her man 'both of them'

Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said Tuesday that she stood by both her husband and President Donald Trump, despite the public feud that has erupted between the two in recent weeks.

“I stand by my man, both of them,” Chao said when, appearing with the president in New York, she was asked at a news conference on transportation policy whether she agreed with Trump’s statements slamming the work of her husband, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Trump has recently decried Senate Republicans’ inability to push through their party’s major legislative items, including health care and tax reform. Trump has been particularly critical of McConnell’s leadership, openly griping about the failure to repeal Obamacare.

...

Chao’s comments came on the heels of a heated exchange between Trump and the press in which the president staunchly defended his initial response to the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend.

20. I suspect it's the billions of slushy $ she'll control in T's privatized infrastructure grants.

Funny how her Hubby menaced Obama away from taking Comey's public on Russia, then later Mitch's wife is rewarded with Secy of Transportation. Pretty clear payoff/back, huge reward for running that crucial interference.
