Michael Caputo promoted strange conspiracy theories and accused career scientists of 'sedition'
A top communications official at the Department of Health and Human Services, pushed a bizarre conspiracy theory warning of a left-wing revolt if President Donald Trump is re-elected.
Michael Caputo, assistant secretary for public affairs at the HHS, made the remarks in a 26-minute Facebook Live chat over the weekend, The New York Times first reported on Monday.
Caputo said without evidence that he believes Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden would refuse to concede if Trump is re-elected, which he predicts would spark violence.
"And when Donald Trump refuses to stand down at the inauguration, the shooting will begin," he said, without evidence, The Times reported. "The drills that you've seen are nothing."
