DeJoy Covers Ears During Congressional Hearing

During a recent congressional hearing, U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy faced intense criticism from Republican Congressman Rich McCormick, who stated that DeJoy's leadership has led to a significant decline in the Postal Service's reputation. In a dramatic moment, DeJoy covered his ears to avoid listening to McCormick's remarks, which highlighted failures in handling mail-in ballots, particularly during the 2020 elections. McCormick asserted that many businesses no longer rely on USPS for mail services, questioning DeJoy's claim of an 'A grade' for performance. DeJoy dismissed McCormick's accusations, blaming Congress for the agency's troubles and asserting that USPS is currently growing. This incident reflects ongoing tensions regarding the effectiveness and accountability of the Postal Service under DeJoy's tenure, especially in light of past election controversies. The exchange has sparked discussions about the future of USPS and its operational challenges.
