Mitch McConnell is the latest Republican politician to let Donald Trump get away with insulting a family member. In a post on Truth Social on Saturday, the former president called the Senate minority leader a “broken down hack” for not fighting for Trump’s flailing Senate candidates and also called McConnell’s wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, “crazy.” Although attacks are something every politician has to get used to, McConnell could be forgiven ― and probably admired ― for defending his own wife, except that didn’t happen. When McConnell was asked on Tuesday if he had any reaction to Trump’s comment about Chao, the Kentucky Republican simply responded, “No.” (The Gabber)
