"Caputo told staffers that his series of false accusations on Facebook Live this weekend — which included unfounded allegations that the Centers for Disease Control was harboring a “resistance unit” — reflected poorly on HHS’ communications office. He blamed his recent behavior on a combination of physical health issues and the toll of fielding death threats against his family. Caputo also acknowledged that he had never read one of the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports, despite his team's ongoing efforts to try to edit those documents.

What Caputo said was so outside the pale and so outrageous, he should be summarily thrown out on his ass.

These people end up ruining their reputations trying to bend over for the Orange Menace and then he discards them like the props attending his rallies.
