(CNN)The top spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services repeatedly directed crude and sexist comments toward women in now-deleted tweets, a CNN KFile review finds.

Michael Caputo, who just started at the department in April, called several women on Twitter "dogface" and made crude insinuations and sexist comments aimed at former FBI attorney Lisa Page prior to joining HHS.

KFile reviewed several thousand deleted tweets from Caputo in 2019 and 2020, which were available on the Internet Archive's "The Wayback Machine." The review also turned up additional offensive tweets from Caputo aimed at prominent public figures.

Caputo, a fierce loyalist to President Donald Trump, worked on the President's 2016 campaign as an adviser and surrogate. He regularly deletes his tweets and erased nearly his entire Twitter history prior to April 12. The New York Republican political operative was appointed as assistant secretary for public affairs at HHS on April 15.

1. "The White House did not return a request for comment."

So is that it, CNN? You saw your duty and you done it? The White House just ignores you and that's all there is to this story?

4. Well Color Me Shocked, Sir

Shocked, stunned, and amazed....

Surely Mrs. Greenspan will be right on this like white on rice, and never let it go, wondering all the while if the appointee will ever get past people recalling his own words.
