Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said in a statement that she is resigning, becoming the first Cabinet member to leave the administration in the wake of President Donald Trump's response to a mob of his supporters breaching the US Capitol.
"It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve the U.S. Department of Transportation," she tweeted, with a statement on the resignation.
In the statement, addressed to the agency she led, Chao wrote that she will resign effective Monday and was "deeply troubled" by the "entirely avoidable" events at the Capitol building.
"I am tremendously proud of the many accomplishments we were able to achieve together for our country and I will never forget the commitment you have for this Department and the United States of America," her statement continued.

This shouldn’t even be up for discussion. You don’t tell domestic terrorists you love them while wrapping it in the lies that perpetrated these actions to begin with. Invoke the 25th Amendment now and every politician who helped enable this disgusting behavior should be removed from office.
@Anonymous Person I agree, as much as many Americans would love to see him removed, including myself , trump supporters will be enraged. I’m worried they are going to cause a problem on Inauguration Day.
Invoke the 25th Amendment –> Guaranteed Civil War.
I’m ok with it. I like the idea of killing Demonrat scum.
Are you people blind? It’s a mostly peaceful protest, alright? Just like george floyd.
@Ol’man Winter Working on it.
NOW!
These “enablers” are leaving the party when it’s time to help clean up. They enjoyed the “fun” but now they wanna leave.
@slactweak oh, so you personally interviewed them, and they told you this, right?
@TrumPutin. That Trump Stank can never be removed from the skin. Everything he is involved in….DIES👹
Topical antifish stuff
@Yeti W Their actions speak for themselves. That you’re unable to see that is on YOU, not me.
Anything else?
So anyone working for a bad boss should just quit and leave their employees at an idiots mercy, life is not the simple.
wow, she should had resigned just a day before. It doesn’t matter, Chao is an opportunist.
@Dale Thomas Chao was naturalized in 1972 as a US citizen when she was 19 years old. Her youngest sister, Angela, has been the CEO and Chair of the Foremost Group since 2008 and founded by James SC Chao and headquartered in New York City. In April 2008 after the death of her mother, Chao’s father gave Chao and McConnell between $5 million and $25 million, which “boosted McConnell’s personal worth from a minimum of $3 million in 2007 to more than $7 million” and “helped the McConnells after their stock portfolio dipped in the wake of the financial crisis that year”.
@RaymondHng Very interesting thanks for sharing 👍
@Joe Martinez she should take him.
The rats are running from the stinky, sinking ship😃
She’s done using him.
She has CCP agenda

She resigned because she doesn’t want to vote to remove him.
Oh wow I didn’t even notice this.
Yes…
@Kas AussieInTexasUSA In concert with an antiChrist MABUS, mentioned by Nostradamus. MABUS is Mohammed Bin Salman, and the world has been duped.
This is a party not a cult

@Linda Isaacs Even your reply is a scam.
She’s leaving one of her “favorite guys?”
She is just a thief and that means nothing… Trying to save that ugly FACE
She is leaving one of “her man”.
Toh wow

Elaine Chao: “Screw you guys, I’m taking my millions and going home.”
More like ‘my work is done’!!!
She has been working under Mitch for a while!!!
@John buajaja 🤣🤣🤣
mail order bride love you long time.
@Boa Constrictor:
How is that working for you?
@Davide Zavoli:
Mitchell ‘Mule Piss’ McConnell (R-KY),
the former Leader of The Senate.
He said, “Rats leaving a sinking ship.”…😂😂😂
They know they’re all going to be investigated and they’ve all been stealing cookies out the cookie jar, Don’s story is deeper then American Gangster and The God Father ! 😳
Biden and Garland will not pursue any Federal charges.
Biden is not that guy, and Garland has a truckload of baggage.
Harris, on the other hand, would cut off his balls if let loose!!!
Toh wow

@johnson tulong 🤔 Very interesting point of view.
Cheers from Mėxico! 🇲🇽🏝️🍹
@Dave Griffin:
You can stop payments for that wall.
I hope that you are not expecting a refund!!!!
@johnson tulong 🤔 BTW, if Harris had not become the Vice President, she would have been a great Attorney General. 👍🤘🏽
She and her husband are indeed shameful and also responsible for the chaos.
I agree
She’s protecting her family’s shipping companies. The CCP-controlled banks finances their ships and the crews. The McConnells and the Bidens get along fine as long as Xi wants them to.
Over all great idea. Ouch, you are pathetic.
They did chaos you lying CNN communist. Those are ANTIFA not the peaceful mags rally.
H
So brave of her to leave her job 2 weeks early. Impeach him so he loses his pension, as he has done to others.
And for Gods sake no taxpayers money for security on him
COWARDS.. all of them
He never took his salary. I doubt he’s afraid of losing his pension.
She picks now to resign.
Right when he’s done for.
WTF, 4 years of enabling and now two weeks before the end of his administration. BYE FELICIA.
How impressive, people quitting their jobs twelve days before they’re fired.
Right…she stood by all 4 years
*Like Barney Fife said of Ernest T. Bass: “He’s just nuts!”*
Too late. Isn’t it charming how they understand he is unhinged when their lives are threatened.
Mrs and Mr Mitchell: Yes you obviously didn’t need the 2,000 but lot of us do.
PEOPLE Will never forget 😡
Isn’t she just escaping and shielding her husband from having to vote in a possible 25th decision?!
Bingo!!
Uhmmm… Yep! And more are following suit. Profiles in cowardice, indeed. May they all live in infamy.
It would be easier to demand Trump’s resignation. Or just arrest him for sedition.
She’s one of his Enablers, lock her up
Nez Man: Next to K. ????? 😄
Toh wow
