Does Being A Trumper Cause One To LOse One's Mind...Literally?
During the meeting with his staff on Tuesday, Caputo made allusions to the fact that HHS had functioned for a long time in the past without a permanent top communications official, said one HHS official.
Caputo also disputed anonymous White House criticism about his mental health saying that some of his comments have been taken out of context and concluded the meeting by encouraging his staff to listen to music by the Grateful Dead.
HHS declined to comment.
The meeting came in the wake of a tumultuous week for Caputo that has prompted calls from multiple Democrats for his resignation.
On Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer issued a call for Azar's ouster as well, accusing him of allowing political appointees to interfere with the department's public health work being "almost entirely silent about the chaos and mismanagement in his own agency."
