Postmaster general visibly covers his ears amid criticism at House Hearing

Rep McCormick: “I hope you got that on camera. This is the response that the Postmaster just gave Congress when he doesn’t like what he hears. Literally covered his ears and gives himself the grade of A.”

DeJoy was testifying before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee when McCormick asked him “some very tough questions,” specifically over the USPS’s decline in efficiency delivering mail. McCormick cited how he himself had experienced difficulty in his letters getting delivered under DeJoy’s watch and detailed how businesses are now choosing not to use USPS. “I don’t understand why you give yourself an A grade, as you just stated when it comes to the delivery,” McCormick said. The lawmaker argued that DeJoy could not give himself an A grade when looking at his record, to which DeJoy claimed, “I just did.” This prompted McCormick to state that DeJoy is “graded by the United States people” who choose not to use USPS anymore, with DeJoy claiming that “the same stuff happened” before he became postmaster general and covering his ears as McCormick continued talking.

“I hope you got that on camera,” McCormick said. “This is the response that the postmaster just gave Congress when he doesn’t like what he hears. Literally covered his ears and gave himself the grade of A.”
