Watch: Postmaster General Covers His Ears During Exchange With GOP Lawmaker During Hearing

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.

The argument stemmed from the controversy of how the Postal Service dealt with mail-in ballots.

“Almost every single business I know that wants to send a check out won’t use the U.S. Postal Service anymore,”McCormick said during the hearing as reported by Mediaite. “I won’t use the U.S. Postal Service anymore. That’s on your watch. The two major decisions I’ve seen you make, which is on the distribution centers and on employee rate hiring, have done nothing to mitigate this in real-time ways.”

“I don’t understand why you give yourself an A Grade, as you just stated when it comes to the delivery we have,” McCormick added.

DeJoy previously said the Postal Service could handle the influx of mail-in ballots during the election season, The Associated Press reported.
