“Mitch McConnell, he lies to your face. He says he’s a Republican. He’s the leader in the Senate of the Republican Party, but he’s married to Elaine Chao, and they’re fully bought and paid for by China on record. And everyone knows it, but no one does anything about it,” Greene told the controversial host on Sunday.

Last week, Mitch McConnell, the seven-term Republican senator from Kentucky who has been his party’s leader in the Senate for the past 15 years, found himself locked in a high-profile confrontation with the former President, who insists he is still the party’s leader. It was not the first round of this long-running bout, but it was perhaps the most clarifying and consequential for the elections this fall and 2024.

Chao, born in Taiwan, is now the former U.S. secretary of transportation and secretary of labor. She also made history by being the first Asian American woman appointed to a presidential cabinet in history.

Greene’s comments came in response to a question from Jones, who asked, “Who is more evil, somebody like AOC that’s an admitted communist ... or is somebody like Mitch McConnell more evil because he claims he’s with us, but he makes sure that that power structure stays in place?”

“There is a big comparison there,” responded Greene. “I would say AOC is definitely anti-American. She is against our American ways. She’s a communist. She is honest about it though, she’ll tell you.” After her comments about McConnell and Chao, Jones went on, “They are literally on the payroll of the CCP,” to which Greene further replied, “Absolutely they are, and so are many others.”

The offices of McConnell, Greene, and Ocasio-Cortez did not immediately respond to requests for comments.

Last month, Greene told Steve Bannon on his War Room podcast that her colleague, Rep. Liz Cheney, “has a very Conservative voting record. More Conservative than some of my Republican colleagues, by the way.”

The comments were made just before the Republican National Committee passed a resolution to censure Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger. The censure was partially because of the pair’s role in the January 6 Committee, charged with investigating the 2021 Capitol breach.
