Fmr. Trump Adviser Michael Caputo: Jackie Speier Should Be ‘Absolutely Ashamed of Herself’

RUSH EXCERPT:

CAPUTO: "There was no way I was Vladimir Putin’s image consultant. You have to be very naive or uninformed or have a team of very unknowledgeable aides. I discussed it with the committee. I laid that out there. I’m still very offended by representative Jackie Speier bringing my wife into this. The day that she did that on March 20, I was on business travel. And as soon as she did it in front of millions of people watching on television, we started getting threats over my phone. One person twice called and told me he was going to burn my house down with my wife and children inside. Loose — loose irresponsible rhetoric is getting people killed. We know it. I don’t want my family to be the next one that gets shot. This thing has to end. And more than anything else, the rhetoric has to tone down. And representative Jackie Speier should be absolutely ashamed of herself. Representative Jackie Speier wasn’t there. I’m not quite sure where she is. She never responded to any of my communications. I expect an apology. I don’t believe she’ll ever give me one."
