After yesterday’s toothless and half-hearted statement that he’d halt changes until after the election, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy revealed just how meaningless his words were.
Today, reports surfaced that plans to remove sorting machines in key battleground states, where Donald Trump is vulnerable, were moving forward. And DeJoy, himself, admitted to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that he would do nothing to reverse the actions he has already taken to dismantle the ability of the Postal Service to adequately serve the public.
In response, Protect Our Care’s Coronavirus War Room Director Zac Petkanas released the following statement:
“Postmaster general Louis DeJoy is nothing more than another lying Trump toadie. It turns out his statement announcing a halt to changes at the Post Office was just another misdirection. He’s now refusing to reverse the damage he’s done after being caught red-handed trying to use the Postal Service to boost Trump’s electoral chances in the middle of a pandemic.
“Families are already struggling to confront this deadly disease – which Donald Trump has allowed to rage out of control – and now they have to contend with the Postal Service not being able to deliver their prescriptions, the packages they rely on, or their ballots.
“If DeJoy and Trump think they can get away with stealing an election by destroying a lifeline and a crucial institution millions of Americans are relying on in the middle of a global health crisis, I look forward to hearing their explanations under oath, when Senator Kamala Harris, Congresswoman Katie Porter and congressional Democrats shine a searing spotlight on their misdeeds in the upcoming hearings.”
