GOP Rep Mocks Postmaster General for Covering Ears During Heated Hearing
House Oversight Committee members sharply criticized Postmaster General Louis DeJoy for persistent delivery and theft issues, budget shortfalls, and his self-assessment of an “A” for on-time delivery. DeJoy, facing accusations of destroying public confidence and bankrupting the postal service, attempted to deflect blame onto Congress while simultaneously expressing regret for past actions and claims. He cited a ten-year, $40 billion overhaul currently underway, including the introduction of new electric delivery vehicles, despite mixed results thus far. A tense exchange with Rep. McCormick culminated in DeJoy covering his ears to block criticism.
