Michael Caputo admits accusing government scientists of sedition and warning of violence should President Trump win re-election.Michael Caputo admits accusing government scientists of sedition and warning of violence should President Trump win re-election.
He also raised the specter of violence if Trump wins the election, saying:"The drills that you've seen are nothing. If you carry guns, buy ammunition, ladies and gentleman — because it's going to be hard to get."Caputo told NPR's Franco Ordoñez that he had been doing the Facebook Live on the porch of his Buffalo, N.Y., home with his two young daughters nearby, when a man drove by and threatened him in front of his children, which prompted his comments about violence.
"Since joining the administration my family and I have been continually threatened and in and out of criminal court dealing with related harassment prosecutions. This weighs heavily on us and we deeply appreciate the friendship and support of President Trump as we address these matters and keep our children safe," Caputo said in a statement to NPR.
"Mr. Caputo has claimed that the president personally put him in charge of his $250 million advertising campaign intended to help America to get back to normal. We now know this is a propaganda campaign that must be defunded immediately. It is not the mission of the Department of Health and Human Services to get the president reelected, DeLauro said.
This is a man with no medical background with Putin &Yeltsin as former employers and Gazprom as a workplace... in Eastern Europe these people are toxic assets by affiliation, removed from office and thrown in jails! American ignorance is bliss and kills you when you sleep 😴
Wow; ANOTHER Russian connection to Trump!
Caputo's reckless and irresponsible comments...show a man in crisis...he needs to step down for his mental health
Lose him he’s clinically insane
debeachbarb Unhinged
I never thought I would live to see an administration of the United States encouraging such violent division in its citizens.😞
He should be fired immediately and stripped of any and all severance pay and any other government funded separation benefits.
He fits in this trash administration perfectly!
You mean if Trump loses
Remove him!!!!!
He is insane
MichaelCaputo is insane and dangerous. He needs to be locked up in a padded cell.
What's wrong with these assholes!!

Apparently just being a scientist who disagrees with Trump is enough for 'sedition.'
What’s your point besides speculation?
So let me get this straight it's on tape it was shown live on Facebook but we still need him to admit to it 🤦🙄
WTF. Get out!! What an A. Hole.
Looks like someone is bucking for a promotion (or a Fox gig).
The poor and uneducated ..........Sad that they follow Trump as they have nothing to gain, but despair, hate and now no jobs or rent, but they shout Trump 2020. Wow, America has gone down.
And he still has a job because
I don't understand how his comments are being interpreted. If a) trump wins reelection, then b) there won't be ammunition so people should stock up for this reality? I don't understand the implied relation between a and b....
Ya! Feels scary being on the other side of violence. Imagine all the minorities who have lived under the same threats made by Nationalist Whites against people of color, for the ongoing history of this country.
The mere fact that trump is on the ballot is already causing right wing magamorons to bring violence into the process. When he doesn’t win they will lose their shit for certain. Now, having pontificated in obviousities, I will add this—Caputo is insane and should be caput.
Hey, he's now in line for a promotion
This reads to me that if Trump wins, the Democrats will be in open rebellion against the Constitution as they did in 1861.
Hold that snake accountable!
Should piss test him, lol.
If he can’t handle the job (and clearly he can’t) he need to quit.
He didn't 'raise the specter of violence'. He straight up told people to arm themselves. These soft assessments of their bullshit rhetoric is what got us where we are.
Crazy person.
Has he resigned yet or......
He needs to go.
Also Caputo:
He needs to be fired NOW SenateGOP
Wow! This is a dictatorship, folks!
