Elaine Chao Resigns From Her U.S. Transportation Secretary Position

The Capitol siege has really exposed the traitors.

United States Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao has just announced she will resign due to the “traumatic violence” that took place at Capitol Hill on Wednesday.

Elaine has stayed out of the spotlight for the most part during her reign as the Transportation Secretary until the New York Times released a bombshell story about her deep connections to the Communist government of China’

Elaine Chao’s father’s shipping business the Foremost Group which has connections to the Chinese government has benefitted greatly while Elaine was the US Transportation Secretary.

Elaine’s husband Senator Mitch McConnell also benefitted from the Foremost Group’s success and received millions of dollars of gifts from James Chao who is Elaine’s father and the founder of the Foremost group.

The New York Post released these details:

Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said Thursday she will resign after a mob of President Trump’s supporters stormed the US Capitol.

Chao, wife of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), is the first cabinet secretary to resign over the Wednesday incident, which delayed certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory until the wee hours of Thursday.

“Yesterday, our country experienced a traumatic and entirely avoidable event as supporters of the President stormed the Capitol building following a rally he addressed. As I’m sure is the case with many of you, it has deeply troubled me in a way that I simply cannot set aside,” Chao said.

CNN chipped in too:

Two of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet secretaries — Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos — are resigning over the riot Wednesday at the US Capitol.

The secretaries were among a number of administration officials who announced they were leaving in the wake of a mob of pro-Trump supporters breaching the US Capitol.
In the statement, addressed to the agency she led, Chao wrote that she will resign effective Monday and was “deeply troubled” by the “entirely avoidable” events at the Capitol building.

Look out for more resignations from people trying to protect themselves instead of the Country.
