Postmaster general covers his ears from House Republican questioning during Oversight hearing

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy covered his ears during a congressional hearing as Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) repeatedly pressed him on oversight of the Postal Service.

McCormick during a House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing Tuesday told DeJoy that he does not get an “A grade” when it comes to his leadership of the U.S. Postal Service.

“You were graded by the United States people, and they don’t use your service anymore,” McCormick said.

“That is not true,” Dejoy said as McCormick continued over him. “Our office is growing.”

“You are responsible for the fall of the Postal Service and the lack of accountability,” McCormick said as DeJoy interjected with, “This Congress is responsible for it falling apart. I am trying to fix the Postal Service.”

DeJoy told McCormick, “You’re talking to yourself” before covering his ears.

 about how the agency handles mail-in ballots. DeJoy has previously said it is wrong to suggest ballots could be misplaced.

DeJoy claimed some election officials don’t understand the Postal Service’s efforts to turn around mail during election season and said that the agency would be able to handle it,

.

DeJoy has also attempted to debunk previous claims from President-elect Trump about mail-in ballots, though the Republican Party appeared more open to the voting method this election cycle than in previous ones.

While preparing for all the election-related mail, DeJoy said earlier this year that the agency was in “great shape” compared to 2020.
