(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. In December 2019 , Caputo directly responded to a tweet from Page with a crude reference to oral sex, writing, "what's that on your chin." In another tweet Caputo told a woman to "go f**k yourself," saying she was "ugly," and calling her "honey." Chalupa told CNN, "Weak men are threatened by strong women." Zaid and Caputo got into a back-and-forth on Twitter, in which Caputo told Zaid to "go romance yourself" and go "blow me counselor."
