'DeJoy, it’s clear, knew next to nothing about the postal service when he took it over in June. But hey, Donald Trump didn’t know anything about the federal government when he took over, either,' writes columnist AbcarianLAT.
If you had spent Monday watching members of the House Oversight Committee grill Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, you would be as confused as I am.The U.S. Postal Service is well funded, partly thanks to a dramatic, pandemic-related increase in mailed packages.
DeJoy, it’s clear, knew next to nothing about the Postal Service when he took it over in June. But hey, Donald Trump didn’t know anything about the federal government when he took over, either, and look how well that’s worked out. As DeJoy was trying to reassure the country that he takes his job as a sacred duty, the president was literally trashing the Postal Service, as he has done for years.At almost exactly the same time DeJoy vowed that he is working with state election boards and that “it is our intent not to have any fraud,” Trump was advancing the loony theory that the tens of millions of Americans who will vote by mail are part of a Democratic plot to unseat him.
