Michael Caputo, a new spokesman for the United States Department of Health and Human Services, removed posts from his Twitter account in which he made damaging comments about China, in particular about the new coronavirus pandemic.
The information was released today on CNN’s North America website. On the social network, Caputo, affiliated with the Republican party, also declared that the Democrats wanted the covid-19 to kill millions of people, and even attacked the media to, according to him, create panic to scratch the image of the president. from the country. Donald Trump.
According to CNN, more than 1,300 Twitter messages, published between February and April, were analyzed. The spokesman, who also holds the post of undersecretary, took office on April 16.
On March 12, for example, the website reported that Caputo said that “millions of Chinese suck the blood of rabid bats as a snack and eat the tails of anteaters.” In response to a question from a social network user, he replied: “Don’t you have a bat to eat?”
Requested by CNN, Michael Caputo said he removes tweets every month “because it drives people crazy.” Regarding the comment on the old messages, he said he was “an advocate for the president,” but said: “(I am now) an employee of the American people and some may be disappointed, but my tweets will be different.”
On his account, however, he republished a message from a supporter criticizing the CNN report. “Let us know when you find something false,” wrote the user.
