Stop Mitch McConnell & Elaine Chao’s corruption
Senator Mitch McConnell
Since becoming President Trump's Transportation Secretary, Elaine Chao has come under fire for scandal after scandal.
Allegedly abusing her position to boost her family’s business in China. Maintaining her shares in a construction materials company, more than a year after she pledged to sell them. And most recently, giving her husband Mitch McConnell’s constituents special treatment -- reportedly steering millions of federal dollars to Kentucky while he faces re-election.
The Department of Transportation’s Inspector General left his role while investigating these serious allegations. Now, it’s crucial that he is replaced, and quickly -- so that Chao is held accountable for her corrupt dealings.
But who’s in charge of the confirmation process for the Inspector General’s replacement? Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
That’s right: McConnell and his wife are at the center of the investigation -- and yet, he has an enormous say in who gets to lead it.
We need to make it clear to Mitch McConnell: the American people won’t stand for this corruption. Add your name to tell him to recuse himself from the nomination process.
