Postmaster General Louis DeJoy didn’t want to hear it anymore. So much so, he covered his ears during a congressional hearing Tuesday regarding how the postal service is doing.
The answer, according to Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.), is not great.
McCormick said DeJoy did not receive an “A grade” when it comes to how he is leading the U.S. Postal Service. The two exchanged words during a House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing, The Hill reported.
“You were graded by the United States people, and they don’t use your service anymore,” McCormick told Dejoy.
“That is not true,” Dejoy shot back. “Our office is growing.”
“You are responsible for the fall of the Postal Service and the lack of accountability,” McCormick said.
DeJoy countered, “This Congress is responsible for it falling apart. I am trying to fix the Postal Service.”
Then DeJoy said to McCormick, “You’re talking to yourself,” as he covered his ears.
