(29,675 posts)57. USPS' DeJoy to Congress: 'Get used to me'
Louis DeJoy, the embattled postmaster general, said on Wednesday he is not going anywhere as he faces withering criticism of his leadership of the U.S. Postal Service and calls for President Joe Biden to move to oust him.
Testifying at a House Oversight and Reform Committee meeting, DeJoy said he intended to be around a long time.
Get used to me, he said.
The postmaster general at times appeared perturbed by the line of questioning from members of Congress, as well as critical media coverage of him and the USPS during his watch.
