Let's see...

Elaine Chao

- Taiwanese immigrant who came to the US at age 8 with her family, fleeing Mao's communists in 1961 (I think it's safe to assume she didn't speak any english at the time, don't you?)

- father was a common deck hand who later founded his own successful shipping co. (...the American dream, writ large)

- worked hard enough to go on and eventually earn an MBA from Harvard in 1975 (American dream, con't)

- former Deputy Maritime Administrator

- former Chairwoman of the Federal Maritime Commission

- former Director of the Peace Corp

- former President and CEO of the United Way of America

- former US Sec. of Labor

- first Asian American woman to be appointed to a cabinet-level position

Oh, this is interesting...

Wow! Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? Highly qualified, distinguished career, successful immigrant family and individual contributor to the nation, first female appointed to a Cabinet level position, etc, etc.










Ahhh, now I see why leftists are already gunning for her.

She's a republican with ties to the Heritage Foundation. GASP! That MUST mean she's anti-labor, right? Nevermind the quote above detailing how, as the first Asian American female Sec. of Labor (and the first to hold a cabinet level position -->appointed by a republican, no less!), she "recover(ed) record levels of back wages and monetary recoveries for pension plans, and obtain(ed) record financial settlements for discrimination by federal contractors."

Funny how leftiest say that stereo-typing people is a "micro-aggression" and, in the case of minorities, blatantly racist...

...unless they are the ones doing it.
