Sen. Tom Carper caught dropping F-bombs at staffer during mail hearing

2020-08-22

[NYPOST] Democratic Sen. Tom Carper of Delaware threw a fit at his staffer when the senator nearly missed his turn to grill Postmaster General Louis DeJoy at a hearing on election mail."F—k, f—k, f—k!" Carper said Friday morning, swiveling in his chair to bark the expletives at an aide because his audio was initially off when his turn for questions came around.

The aide walked over to Carper’s desk and helped him work his livestream.

Many politicians struggle to unmute their feeds during the virtual committee hearings common in the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)

coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)

...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
pandemic.

Carper seemed to believe he was still muted.

Before Carper erupted, Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said, "Is Senator Carper there? We’ll move on to Senator Lankford."

As Carper swore, Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) informed Johnson that the Delaware senator appeared to be on the line.

"I think Senator Carper is there, I think he’s trying to be able to cue it all up right now," Lankford said.
