He seems nice. I'll bet he's fun at parties, too.

Donald Trump infamously said, “you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides,” but apparently, there are no “fine people” in the current administration. The new spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services got the CNN KFile treatment after it was revealed that Michael Caputo — a longtime New York Republican political operative who worked on Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, and was appointed last week as Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at HHS — has been busy deleting some racist and conspiratorial tweets. Caputo doesn’t seem to realize that the Internet is forever.

Caputo, a friend of Roger Stone’s, tweeted that Democrats wanted the novel coronavirus to kill millions of people and accused the media of intentionally creating panic around the pandemic to hurt Donald Trump’s presidency. And that’s kind of weird since Trump doesn’t need any help in destroying his presidency.

Caputo tweeted, “Coronavirus is the Democrats’ new Russia, their new Ukraine. And nobody will believe them except their zombies. But know this: The Dems’ strategy to defeat @realDonaldTrump requires 100s of thousands of American deaths.”

Caputo now holds a prominent communications role at the department which serves a central purpose in the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic that has brought the U.S. to its knees.

CNN reports on just how sweet this guy is:

Caputo, a prolific user who often tweeted insults and profanity, recently erased nearly his entire Twitter history from before April 12. CNN’s KFile used the Internet Archive’s Way Back Machine to review more than 1300 deleted tweets and retweets from late February to early April many of which were regarding the rapidly spreading coronavirus.

Caputo, a conspiracy theorist who now works for a conspiracy theorist, tweeted a fact-free claim saying that “millions of Chinese suck the blood out of rabid bats as an appetizer and eat the ass out of anteaters.”

He called another Twitter user, “Wang,” for some reason.

Trump claims during his daily briefings that the country is united now, but in March, Caputo referred to a White House reporter as “a dick” after that reporter had a heated exchange with Trump. Like his boss, Caputo said many Americans viewed reporters as “the enemy of the people” for “carrying water for the Chinese Communist Party.”

On March 14, Caputo tweeted, “Taking down names of progs who pick out of context phrases from Administration statements so they can ‘LOL’ for resistance cred while Washington deals with a pandemic. These are the biggest assholes. Hugest sh*tbags. Gargantuan sphincters.”

On March 18, the little fuckstain tweeted, “Double down on #ChineseVirus. Leftists lost the true meaning of ‘racism’ long ago. And polls show they’ve beaten this dead horse so badly that GOP, independent, and soft Dem voters ignore them.”

What a fun kind of guy.
