An uproar was caused by Trump's Social Truth Network post
Overt racism and covert incitement to violence he characterised it as.
Donald Trump was indefinitely denied access to Twitter "due to the prospect of further incitement to violence," but on Friday evening he took to his Truth Social website to continue using social media.
After avoiding a government shutdown, Trump accused Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of harboring a "death wish."
"Help and advice (sic) should be sought immediately from his China-loving wife, Coco Chao!" He said of Elaine Chao, who served in his government for four years as Minister of Transport.
Trump's post sparked outrage online.
Conservative lawyer George Conway tweeted :
This place has nothing to see. The minority leader in the US Senate is the target of a racist verbal attack by a former US president who also wants to instigate violence against the leader's wife.
"Donald Trump uses :
blatant racist tactics in his desperate attacks on McConnell by trying to mock former Asian American Transport Secretary Elaine Chow's name by calling her 'Coco Chow' - [McConnell] and [the Republican Party] must call him out and reject his racial hatred - will they? "Former federal prosecutor Shanlon Wu tweeted.
"It's hardly shocking that Trump
- is threatening Mitch McConnell by taking advantage of the phrase" death wish
- a dog whistle call for Trump's radical supporters
- the same Trump who thought Vice President Pence deserved
- to be executed without trial by the angry mob on
- January 6 that Trump incited to violence," Wu added.
Janay Nelson head of the NAACP's Legal Defense
and Education Fund wrote :
- "I dare all major media sources call this what it is
- hidden incitement to violence
- and outright racism."
Fred Wilman, a podcaster, said :
- For four years, Elaine Chao worked as Trump's secretary of transportation
- and was simply called the insulting racist nickname" Coco Chao.
- If you continue to support this corrupt sole, you are racist ".
"See, I believe that gross intolerance :
stupidity, dishonesty and demagogy in this matter are evident at many levels and I am embarrassed for the country.
But, because no one else is going to do it, I feel like I have to point out that he misspelled the advice as well, "tweeted the editor-in-chief of Dispatch, Jonah Goldberg.
