Postal Service Report: police block Florida congresswoman from touring USPS plants.U.S. Postal Service police officers barred a Florida congresswoman from scheduled tours at two mail-processing complexes Friday, blocking entry to the facilities and threatening to escort her from the property if she refused to leave.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) had arrived at the Royal Palm Processing and Distribution Center in Opa-Locka, Fla., for a 4 a.m. tour to find the parking lot entry roped off with caution tape and a U.S. Postal Inspection Service cruiser blocking the gate. Local Postal Service officials informed her and union leaders waiting to accompany her into the building that national USPS leadership had directed them to bar the group from the building. At 6:30 a.m., Wasserman Schultz was denied entry at the Miami Processing and Distribution Center 10 miles away by a local Postal Service official as two armed Postal Inspection Service officers stood in front of turnstiles in the lobby.
A congresswoman was barred from inspecting two U.S. Postal Service branches on Friday, with the federal agency claiming she did not give the post office enough advance notice before arriving at the locations. Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz showed up at USPS facilities in Florida's Opa-locka and Northwest Miami-Dade on Friday, intending to investigate reports from postal employees of considerable amounts of undelivered mail there.
Yet upon arrival, Wasserman Schultz was barred from accessing the distribution facilities, with agency police preventing her from entering both locations. At one location, the parking lot was blocked off by caution tape and a USPS police car; at another, armed guards in the lobby prevented the congresswoman from conducting her inspection. The post office later said in a statement that it hadn't been given enough notice before Wasserman Schultz's visit.
"We spoke with her staff to explain that we were unable to set up the tour on such short notice, but would be happy to accommodate her at another time," agency spokeswoman Kim Fuller told media on Friday. "We look forward to working with the Congresswoman and her staff to arrange a visit in the near future."
An aide with Wasserman Schultz's office, meanwhile, said that the congresswoman "[wasn't] asking for permission," and that the short notice of the visit was intentional. "I sit on the committee that has jurisdiction over the Postal Service," Wasserman Schulz said afterwards "Now they are not allowing a member of Congress to get a bird's eye view of what's going on so I can get to the bottom of this."
ANTONIO PEREZ TWEET: USPS police barred Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz from entering two mail sorting facilities in Florida in the early morning hours on Friday, threatening to escort her from the property if she didn't leave.
They don’t trust her. I wouldn’t either.
“...to investigate reports from postal employees of considerable amounts of undelivered mail there.”
She’s an idiot.
ALL MAIL at a Processing and Distribution Center is undelivered mail.
Looks like her little stunt blew up in her face.
Guess she’s not used to adults being in charge.
What was she gonna find at 4 am? All those one cent stamps not in their right slot?
Is she still an active Congresswoman?
I can’t believe how quiet Debbie has been for this entire Election Year. My, but her star has certainly fallen.
Might be all staged.
Let’s make a list of things that set democrats’ minds off.
Russia.
US Postal Service.
Phone calls to Ukraine.
Military cemetery in France.
Boogaloo.
MAGA.
US flag.
Police.
Whites living and breathing.
They’re not only insane, they’re not fit to move around where there are other people.
***”I sit on the committee that has jurisdiction over the Postal Service,” Wasserman Schulz said afterwards “Now they are not allowing a member of Congress to get a bird’s eye view of what’s going on so I can get to the bottom of this.”***
If Congress is interested in investigating, why don’t both parties go to look at this together? Or maybe the whole committee together?
She was going there to cause a ruckus.
As others have already noted, these facilities all have undelivered mail, because they are sorting and processing centers.
WHY at 4:30 AM???? WEIRD or she’s a BAT!
Of course it’s staged.
“Is she still an active Congresswoman?
I can’t believe how quiet Debbie has been for this entire Election Year. My, but her star has certainly fallen.”
HRC has that quieting effect on people.
Gee, ya think?
This’ll really set them off.....to the loony bin.
TRUMP RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT BY LANDSLIDE
she murdered people with MS-13.
why is she in not in jail.
I doubt that.
Whole thing smells like kubuki theatre to me. I’d guess Wasserman and her local police are colluding to create a “Trump and his postal goons” media narrative...
Wonder who does her hair?........cackle.
An excellent point you've made.
ROTFLOL......she’s a complete and total idiot.
