WATCH: Katie Porter Takes Just Seconds to Get Postmaster DeJoy to Admit He’s Ignorant of Basic Facts About Postal Service
By Reed Richardson
Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) repeatedly stumped Postmaster General Louis DeJoy with basic questions about the U.S. Postal Service and burrowed in on his potential conflict of interests during a brutal House hearing on Monday.
<...>
During the Congresswoman’s time she began with a series of basic queries about the costs of mailing several different items, from postcards to Priority Mail packages. DeJoy repeatedly failed to know the simple answers.
“You don’t know the cost to mail a postcard?” Porter confirmed.
“I don’t.”
“What if I wanted mail — you said 55 cents for a first class stamp, what if it is a greeting card that is a square envelope, what is the postage?”
“I’ll submit that I know very little about the postage stamp.”
“And what is the starting rate for U.S. Post office — USPS priority mail?” Porter asked.
“The starting rate for what?”
“USPS priority mail.”
“Starting weight? 14 ounces,” DeJoy said, answering the wrong question.
“No, the rate. The price.”
“I don’t know. Don’t know.”
<...>
“Do you know about within a million or so, could you tell me how many people voted by mail in the last presidential election?”
“No, I cannot.”
