Sen. Jon Ossoff and Postmaster General Louis DeJoy had a tense hearing exchange during a Senate hearing on Thursday over ongoing mail delivery delays in Georgia.
"Has your tenure as postmaster general been a success?" Ossoff asked.
"Senator, I know how you feel about me," DeJoy responded. "You've been quite public, okay? So, I'm not going to, you know, debate that you think I'm a failure, fine."
"I don't," the postmaster general added.
"It's not about how I feel about you, postmaster general," the Georgia senator said. "It's about whether or not seniors in Georgia are receiving prescriptions."
"It's the stacks of boxes of mail from courts that never arrived to their destination," Ossoff asserted, criticizing the USPS' performance in Georgia, as the postmaster general could be heard pushing back.
"This is my time, postmaster general," Ossoff said. "You're here under oath before the U.S. Senate."
"You're sitting here trying to explain that 75% on-time delivery is a success," the Georgia senator continued. "And it's not. It's not about how I feel about you, postmaster general."
"It's how my constituents are being served by the United States Postal Service," Ossoff concluded.
