Postmaster general visibly covers his ears amid criticism from GOP lawmaker
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy covered his ears when faced with criticism from Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) over his handling of the U.S. Postal Service, a move the Republican mocked and emphasized after it happened.
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.”

After this comment, McCormick rested from speaking, with DeJoy stating “good” in response.
Earlier this month, USPS suggested states change their election deadlines after 150,630 ballots went to voters too close to deadlines to be counted. Out of the 3.37 billion pieces of political mail and election mail from 2024, more than 97% of ballots got to local election officials in fewer than three days.
