Majority Leader Mitch McConnell slammed his Democratic challenger Amy McGrath's new ad against him as a “racist” attack against his wife. In a campaign ad, McGrath claims that trade deals brokered by McConnell “made China richer, their military stronger, they’re spying on us and they didn’t stop the coronavirus.”“Oh, and Mitch made millions from China,” McGrath’s ad continued. The Kentucky Republican’s rebuttal ad claimed that “nobody is tougher on China” than he is and the ad was actually a “racist attack on Mitch McConnell’s wife Elaine Chao.”“McGrath attacks family who fled communist China, starting out speaking no English,” the ad continues. “In other words, McConnell got rich because he married well, not because of deals he cooked up in Washington,” the Washington Post found. McConnell is no stranger to ads targeting his relations with China, while he claims the attacks racially exploit his marriage.
