Delaware Sen. Tom Carper was caught uttering a series of expletives to an aide as he struggled to unmute himself during a widely-watched U.S. Postal Service hearing before the Senate on Friday, an unintentional window into one of the many frustrations of virtual pandemic-era meetings.
Carper, a Democrat, was in line to question Postmaster General Louis DeJoy but was not heard by committee chairman Ron Johnson, who then sought to move on to the next questioner.
Carper then uttered three f-bombs, prompting Sen. James Lankford to say “Mr. Chairman, I think Senator Carper is there, I think he’s trying to be able to queue it all up right now.”
Johnson then called on Carper and appeared to allude to Carper’s comments: “We don’t want to be on TV again.”
