Government officials, whether elected, appointed, or employed, should adhere to certain standards of behavior. Criminal activities and corruption should never be overlooked. Additionally, we should not accept immature and petulant behavior from them.
An example of unacceptable behavior was observed during a House Oversight Committee hearing. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy demonstrated petulance by covering his ears when questioned by a member of the Republican committee.
During a House Oversight and Accountability Committee meeting, McCormick expressed to DeJoy that his leadership of the U.S. Postal Service does not warrant an exemplary “A grade.”
“You were graded by the United States people and they don’t use your service anymore,” McCormick said.
“That is not true,” Dejoy said as McCormick continued over him. “Our office is growing.”
“You are responsible for the fall of the postal service and the lack of accountability,” McCormick said as DeJoy interjected with, “This Congress is responsible for it falling apart. I am trying to fix the postal service.”
DeJoy told McCormick, “You’re talking to yourself” before covering his ears.
What is this guy, 12 years old? I wouldn’t have put up with this from my kids when they were three. Why should we put up with this from the United States Postmaster?
Here, have a look for yourself:

This is intolerable. Were he a toddler and not just acting like one, this would result in Mr. Bottom taking a swift trip to Spank-Land. If he were in a criminal or civil courtroom, it would not be surprising if he were to end up doing a few days in the country slammer for contempt of court. But this is a grown man in a position of serious responsibility in the United States federal government.
