During today’s House Oversight hearing, Democratic Rep. Jim Cooper asked very serious questions of U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy:
.@repjimcooper: “Is your backup plan to be pardoned, like Roger Stone?”@USPS Postmaster General: “I have no comment on that. It’s not worth a comment.”

It’s not worth a comment.
But Cooper disagrees. In his mind, DeJoy is already guilty of deliberately sabotaging the USPS in order to interfere with the election and is basically Roger Stone with a mailbag:
Postmaster General DeJoy refused to take responsibility at today’s @OversightDems hearing. We must stop and rollback his deliberate sabotage to #SaveTheUSPS. https://t.co/1g9AOehCeg

It wasn’t just Cooper’s time that expired; it was his credibility.
Cooper used his time to float new conspiracies about DeJoy rewarding friends w/ USPS contracts; despite not having uncovered any actual wrongdoing, he’s now posting tweets like this —> https://t.co/Ryk3mRhOR0

Am reasonably confident this tweet was drafted before the hearing even began @repjimcooper

Given Cooper’s palpable enthusiasm when it comes to getting DeJoy to implicate himself in something nefarious, we wouldn’t be surprised if that were indeed the case.

Don’t worry — we’re sure he can borrow another one from one of his Democratic colleagues.
Which one of your Twitter writers have you that line? Rehearsed for 2-3 hours? Well you got your “where’s the beef” line, but those of us that actually watched the exchange saw another Tenn Dem out of his league & forced a gimmick because he couldn’t get the answer he wanted.

He appeared and your questions were absurd and again another example of wasting the American people’s tax dollars and time. @GOP @USPS @Jim_Jordan @OversightDems continue to have “oversight” on everything they care about nothing else matters. It’s a joke at this point.

What’s more American than wasting Americans’ tax dollars and time?
Would prefer thoughtful planned questions rather than this type of partisan BS. This is an important issue and you cheapen yourself by your conduct.
