McConnell’s Wife Flees – Where She Went is INSANE…b See more

One would think that a lifelong spouse would be at the other’s side when they were suffering from a major medical incident, but that isn’t the case, apparently, regarding former GOP Senate Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and wife Elaine Chao.

The latter, who served as Transportation Secretary during President Donald Trump’s first term, has been making what some view as bizarre trips overseas while her husband remains hospitalized for, reportedly, a serious heart condition.

On June 12, just two days before McConnell was hospitalized, Shanghai Jiao Tong University announced that Chao had visited the campus, marking her 12th trip to the university over the past 45 years.

During the visit, Chao and her father donated several historical photographs to the university’s Ruth Mulan Chu Chao Memorial Hall, which is named in honor of Chao’s late mother, according to the university, WLKY reported.

The university said the Chao family has maintained longstanding ties to the institution through decades of philanthropic support, including contributions that helped fund Mulan Hall.

On June 16, two days after McConnell’s hospitalization, the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs announced that Chao met with its president, Wu Ken, in Beijing, WLKY reported.
