        Mitch McConnell's wife has a cabinet post under Trump, given to her to keep McConnell happy. Conflict of interest much?

        If Mitch McConnell wants to bind himself and the Republican party to Donald Trump, let them suffer the consequences.

        With his nose so deeply imbedded in Trump's ass, McConnell has no choice but to grab @realDonaldTrump butt cheeks & go along for the ride.

        McConnell is an embarrassment and a disgrace. I wish I could say I was surprised by this.

        He has a clear conflict of interest as his wife Elaine Chao works directly for Trump. Should be emphasized. Reason for recusal?
