Former GOP congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene shared her thoughts on the Mitch McConnell situation as the former Senate minority leader remains missing in action after a major health incident last month.<\/p>\n

The 84-year-old remains hospitalized after paramedics were called to his home on June 14 with a 911 dispatch call suggesting<\/a> that he suffered a \u201ccardiac arrest,\u201d and speculation about his condition has dramatically ramped up after Trump ally Laura Loomer claimed<\/a> that sources told her that McConnell has \u201cbeen declared a vegetable\u201d and is on life support.<\/p>\n

In addition to the geriatric senator\u2019s uncertain status, conspiracy theories are circulating about the bizarre behavior of his wife Elaine Chao, who flew to China, where she is said to have met with government officials while her husband lay in a hospital bed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe secretary was on a long-planned trip in China to support her family\u2019s philanthropic endeavors,\u201d a Chao spokesperson said in a statement. \u201cDuring the trip, she met with a number of people, including the US ambassador. The Senator\u2019s health did not warrant an immediate return to the US.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Greene isn\u2019t buying it.<\/p>\n

Elaine Chao, who is likely a Chinese spy married to Mitch McConnell, has been in China almost the entire time the nearly dead Senator has been in the hospital. And she met with China\u2019s VP.
\nNow that she\u2019s back, they are running a PR campaign.
\nSure totally normal.\"\ud83d\ude44\" https:\/\/t.co\/tPWuYBMISg<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cElaine Chao, who is likely a Chinese spy married to Mitch McConnell, has been in China almost the entire time the nearly dead Senator has been in the hospital. And she met with China\u2019s VP,\u201d Greene wrote in a Tuesday post to X. \u201cNow that she\u2019s back, they are running a PR campaign. Sure totally normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cPR campaign\u201d that MTG is referring to was the insistence by a number of McConnell allies that they had spoken to the stricken senator over the phone, all with the similar language about their calls lasting \u201c20 minutes,\u201d which has also drawn scrutiny from skeptics on social media.<\/p>\n

Among those who said that they held a conversation with the MIA senator was CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings, a MAGA hero who worked for McConnell before his cable television gig.<\/p>\n

\n

I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He\u2019s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes \u2026 about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cSenator Barrasso and Senator McConnell had a lengthy conversation early this afternoon. Their phone call lasted roughly 20 minutes. They caught up about the latest news impacting Senate races, the Graham Platner scandal, and the recent Supreme Court ruling on coordinated spending limits,\u201d said Kate Noyes, a spokesperson for Sen. Tom Barrasso (R-WY) said<\/a> in a statement about an alleged call with McConnell.<\/p>\n

Greene also accused McConnell\u2019s spouse of being a communist Chinese spy to a TMZ reporter.<\/p>\n

Chao has held positions in multiple GOP administrations, serving as President George W. Bush\u2019s Transportation Secretary and as Labor Secretary under President Donald J. Trump, who has mockingly nicknamed her \u201cCoco Chow.\u201d<\/p>\n
