This afternoon, Elaine Chao handily won confirmation as Transportation Secretary. But it wasn’t a clean sweep:

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s no vote particularly stuck out. What’s up with that?
This doesn't even make sense.
When does the media start reporting that Schumer is voting no just to vote no?
Chao is highly qualified. https://t.co/bamUQzIPQW

Schumer can obviously vote against whomever he likes for whatever reason he chooses. I just wondered if there was something about Chao.

Well, if we bust out the Progressive Playbook, there’s a very simple explanation for Schumer’s decision:
Sexism or racism, right? Isn't that how it works?

Schumer voted NO on Elaine Chao?!?
Racist, sexist @SenSchumer https://t.co/9jqEQuManZ

Chuck Schumer is a white guy. Elaine Chao is an Asian woman. Thus, Chuck Schumer is a racist and a sexist.
