The existence of left-wing hit squads and a “resistance unit” of scientists undermining President Trump’s COVID-19 strategy were among the bizarre and unfounded theories put forward by a Trump loyalist turned top official in the Department of Health and Human Services. Michael Caputo’s Facebook Live message came after several news outlets reported that he had worked to delay or change scientific reports to make the Trump administration’s coronavirus response look better. Here’s what you should know. Aired on 09/14/2020.

What To Know About HHS Official Michael Caputo’s Strange Tirade – Day That Was | MSNBC
How are these people in charge of anything? How do they have the same education levels as others and yet believe in these obvious lies? We have a psychological warfare problem.
@Matt Thompson Eli Crane is probably a russian asset based on his outright lies, lack of candor, and cherry picking ‘facts’ in his defense of Flynn article that made him so famous among the nazi qtrads
@corbinisfun Neofasict caputo is doing a follow up on proudboy Stone’s call for civil war https://www.businessinsider.com/stone-calls-for-trump-to-declare-martial-law-election-loss-2020-9
SO CAPUTO ADMITS TRUMP WILL
LOSE THE ELECTION TO BIDEN2020? GREAT.
A cult of unfit, unstable idiots in top positions? How are ppl LACKING CRITICAL CREDENTIALS appointed??? HOW??
Lenor Gewissen Well said. Scary if all of this is dead on, but sadly it does ring of a plausible reason why seemingly rational ppl would be willing to clap along to this clown show. And don’t get me started on his “Christian” (in name only) supporters
Everybody in the government that has no knowledge or experience of the job they’re in should be removed!! AND I MEAN EVERYBODY 🤨 vote November 3rd

@simon 1256 caputto just killed that, again. lmao, #PUTINTRUMP2020 4 MORE YEARS! BAAHHHHH HAHAHAHAAAA
I thought they said Obama took away the GUNS and ammo.
@Russell Stahl You are as dense as a door knob. It is Trump who said publicly that he will take away guns from the people and worry about the courts later.
And how can they buy guns if Obama already has them all locked up in FEMA camps?
@Mr October Don’t feed the Russian trolls.
Republican properganda….he just wanted to rid lynching laws.
@8 of Cups go f@$# yourself
Just another step down into the decline of the USA to Banana-Republic status
We’re already at 3rd rate banana shithole status now. We are number 1 on the world in COVID deaths though.
#TrumpKnew

@Tim Stocking you mean El Doushey?
@Alan Peters How dare you insult douches!
@Tim Stocking sorry…………. NOT
“IF YOU LOST YOUR HOME OR LOVED ONES (TO FLOODS, HURRICANES, STORMS, FIRES, THE COVID OR OTHER), ‘THE MOST PRECIOUS ITEM YOU CAN ACQUIRE IS A VOTING BALLOT’!”
@Kim BStrong NO NO NO, HE/SHE SCORED A POINT! LOL, now i see, said a blind me.
altitude illume only if it were so trivial it still wouldn’t be at a level of basic comprehension. Oh Only If We could make things disappear would any of it make sense.
It’s looking like we are going to need ammo to GI with that vote. I’ve never been a but job but I know what Iam reading seeing and hearing. These TRUMP nuts are want to take over our country. Seriously.
Nj Osborne no but, I’m sick of people saying people are all gonna go rabbid over things they don’t know people at all. So they are the ones instigating violence so they can sit and watch it on tv. The dude in the video said that not me. Blame him. ✌🏼🇺🇸
Katie Mcdavid Copy
How low can America go? The world is aghast.
Thedonold, the gift that keeps on giving us FASCISM !!!!
Caputo is a strange piece of caracter!
C. Murphy – it’s spelled “character”. That’s your second BADLY misspelled word in this comment section. You SURE you’re not a Russian troll trying to make us Dems look bad?
Defenetly the wrong person for ANYTHING in a REAL department! V-O-T-E all stupidos out! They shouldnt be there at all!
Unfortunately, this moron is appointed, not elected. He needs to be fired, unless Trump wants him to behave this way.
Agreed, but if you’re going to call others “stupidos” then you first might not want to misspell “definitely”.
“Only the best people,” at least, DJT’s notion of the best people. Caputo is obviously unfit for public service. Why does that seem normal in this administration?
They sought all along to normalize chaos by using the hapless clown to disrupt, sow distrust of institutions and media, and fire up the armed goons. I believe this has occurred throughout history. Traveling extensively throughout the world, I was naive enough to think it would never happen in my country.
“Donald thrives on chaos and division because he is weak and insecure” – Mary Trump 9/11/20
Capputo encouraged people with guns to buy up all the ammo! That’s scarier than the virus.
White supremacist militia are all ready a threat all ways have been.
@kare more Not like now, trust me. I go through a lot of ammo. Now is unprecedented in my lifetime. Read up on it, even the gun industry is freaked out about it.
8 of Cups Oh, that’s terrible stuff. QAnon is not scary at all.
@Shiloh Rose 581 https://www.businessinsider.com/stone-calls-for-trump-to-declare-martial-law-election-loss-2020-9
@8 of Cups Conspiracy theories about antifa which tend to inaccurately portray antifa as a single organization with leaders and secret sources of funding have been spread by right-wing activists, media organisations and politicians, including Trump administration officials and the 2020 Trump campaign.[30][31][32][33][34] There have been multiple efforts to discredit antifa groups via hoaxes on social media, many of them false flag attacks originating from alt-right and 4chan users posing as antifa backers on Twitter.[35][36][37] Some hoaxes have been picked up and reported as fact by right-leaning media.[35][38][39]
In sane. Total insanity. This administration is a carnivale of political freaks and misfits.
@My Valentine It’s called cronyism. A fascist dictator’s favorite tool.
@Noe Berengena
Well they’re creepy and deteriorated enuff to be in places of power and influence. Maybe some of us should have thought about that while we could have done anything about it
@Frangiscu Custanza Your suggestion for that preventive action? Many people did not vote for Trump, nor for his enabling congressmen and senators.
They have mush for brains after 30+ YEARS of listening to the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, Gordon Liddy, etc. That’s on the weekdays, on Sundays, they listen to their churches regurgitate all the same talking points but shrouded in religion.
30+ YEARS
@I Voted – Its remarkable that they still wave the flag of xenophobia and hate, after all these years and get away with it. They have become the evil they are describing. Or worse, actually. They need a eyeopener of some sorts. A rude awakening.
Appointing Caputo is one more reason to question Trump’s mental health.
Notice how all these types of claims come from weirdly named accounts with no content and no picture? How much MSNBC paying you? Or the CCP? You people are traitors and should be handled as such.
@Kelly Black = Russian troll.
Caputo is a traitor with very strong Russian intelligence ties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Caputo
If you’re still questioning it at this point you haven’t been paying attention.
@Kelly Black Go have another shot, Ivan.
Is there no end to the nutcases, negligence and corruption in this Administration?
All the time somethin’ !!
@T. R. Campbell Vox.com: Covid-19: Trump’s attempts to corrupt the CDC, explained.
https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/21436459/cdc-trump-mmrw-covid-19-coronavirus-pandemic
No, and I personally have had it enough of Trump and the whole mess of his garbage..geez.
All I see are leftys rioting, destroying their own city’s, starting wild fires and burning down buildings. Msnbc is garbage, anyway Trump 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤗
D Munz Please identify what mess.
It’s ironic that Trump doesn’t believe the scientists when he thinks it will hurt his chances…but totally believes in the scientist working on the vaccine.
This man should be fired. He is inciting violence by spewing untruths. Vote this lying, unethical administration out.
Arrested
AMEN.
Chris: get a Tor Browser (it’s free).
Its probably true and nlw there making it like hes crazy the streets will be full if trump dies
Julie Rautenbach he’s not even qualified to run the CDC. Wake up America.
Just remember this
Michael Cohen said this” Donald Trump will do anything to win Election”
@Kelly Black, was it untrue?
@Kelly Black, everyone you disagree with is either a bot or fake news, am I right? I am.
Kelly Black project your pathology onto others much?
I really really trust Michael Cohen!
@Cathy Wv John Bolton was shocked by how Trump seemed to care about nothing beyond getting re-elected. I think Gen. Mathis said the same, as have several other insiders.
I long ago stopped believing anything that comes from trump’s people
trump lost me in 2011 with his absurd birther nonsense, he wouldn’t have gotten my vote even as the dem nominee.
The CDC should block this ruling via the court system.
Weird guy?? No, he’s insane, just like his boss.
Says the Russian bot
Putin or trump ?
@Kelly Black Everyone is entitled to stupidity but Trump supporters really abuse the privilege
Caputo should be charged with inciting violence. There are laws for this and charges can be brought right now
And yet, nothing will change. I’m so tired of crying because of this corrupt administration and the chronic Crimes. Putin is very happy.
That’s BS, Derry
