Michael Caputo somehow rose to become the spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services where his main contribution has been to fix the reports on Covid-19 so they wouldn't make Trump look so bad. Because sometimes Trump's lies need a little help along the way.
A former Trump campaign official now spokesman for the US health department sought to change key reports on the coronavirus pandemic, in some cases “openly complaining” that they “would undermine the president’s optimistic messages about the outbreak”, according to internal emails seen by Politico.
The official, Michael Caputo, told the website he was attempting to stymie “ulterior deep state motives in the bowels” of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC.
Politico reported that under Caputo’s direction, CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports were subject to “substantial efforts to align … with Trump’s statements, including the president’s claims that fears about the outbreak are overstated, or stop the reports altogether”.
“Caputo and his team have attempted to add caveats to the CDC’s findings,” the website said, “including an effort to retroactively change agency reports that they said wrongly inflated the risks of Covid-19 and should have made clear that Americans sickened by the virus may have been infected because of their own behavior.”

.. At this point its laughable but tragic.. just how screwed up these thugs are.. Why bother with ethics, morality.. or reality ? In the field of opportunity its always ploughing time
Trump is a grifter and he draws the like-minded to him, brings them inside. He's now backing QAnon candidates for Congress. This guy is pure evil and his base, the Gullibillies, are roaches.
