Chao is the oldest among six daughters. Yang, just like four of the Chao sisters, also attended Harvard University. He has since pursued a career as a writer concentrating on Asian American culture.

Yang expressed skepticism regarding the latest photograph of the Kentucky senator, which depicts him smiling for the camera while wearing a blue button-down shirt, with Chao beside him.

“I can’t imagine Elaine, one of the most put-together people in existence, releasing a pic wearing a thin shirt over a visible black bra, UNTUCKED,” Yang wrote. “Just implausible.”

Yang was notably confused by Chao's choice of clothing. The former labor secretary sported a white button-down featuring a seashell pattern, which a reverse image search traced back to the mid-tier American retail brand Chico's.

Yang remarked that Elaine's top was the "most implausible aspect of the image," sharing a screenshot of the identical Chico's shirt available for as little as $12 in secondhand online marketplaces.

"HOLY CRAP SHE WOULD RATHER DIE," he mentioned.

The Republican stalwart has not made a public appearance since his hospitalization on June 14.

On July 12, his office issued a photo of him alongside Chao, accompanied by a detailed statement clarifying that he had suffered a fall and has been in rehabilitation. A new photo was shared on July 27.
