McConnell's office has released two photos of the former Senate Majority Leader and his wife, former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, since his hospitalization in mid-June, attempting to establish that he is alive and recovering. Yang claims to have been acquainted with two of Chao's "apolitical sisters" since college, and found the detail completely out-of-character. "I've known members of the Chao family — specifically, Elaine’s apolitical sisters (Grace and the late Angela) — since our college years," Yang wrote. "Most implausible aspect of the image: ELAINE IS DEPICTED WEARING A $12 CHICO’S SHIRT," Yang wrote. “This isn’t the kind of thing you lead with for someone you haven’t seen for a while,” Yang wrote.
