WATCH: ElaineChao dismisses realDonaldTrump attack, 'don't make a point of responding'
Host Stuart Varney started Chao's segment of Varney & Company by acknowledging that Trump"attacked you on the grounds of your ethnicity." He then asked her for a response to Trump's comment."The president says many things. I don't make a point of responding to his comments," said Chao, who is married to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell .
The comment came as Trump was criticizing the Senate minority Leader for"approving all of these Trillions of Dollars worth of Democrat sponsored Bills," without specifying any particular bills.Trump used the nickname again last month in a post pinning blame for election losses on McConnell. “He blew the Midterms, and everyone despises him and his otherwise lovely wife, Coco Chow,” he said.
According to the former president, the losses sustained by his hand-picked candidates were the fault of McConnell, saying of the Arizona Senate race, “It’s Mitch McConnell’s fault. Spending money to defeat great Republican candidates instead of backing Blake Masters and others was a big mistake."
