The Trump administration’s top health spokesman Michael Caputo posted a tweet that urged police to gas Journalists.

A Reporter tweeted that they were about to be hit with tear gas and Caputo responded to the post:

He followed up that tweet in which he called a guy a “douche.”

Caputo later locked his account and then related it all together.

Caputo has not commented on his tweets, but the Department of Health and Human Services did release this statement:

“Mr. Caputo is a critical, integral part of the President’s coronavirus response, leading on public messaging as Americans need public health information to defeat the Covid-19 pandemic.

You would think having an administration official calling for people to be gassed would land him in some hot water.

But, you might expect Donald Trump to give the guy a raise. This is the world in which we now live.
