NBC 6 cameras were at both facilities where Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz attempted to enter after speaking with union members
The congresswoman says she received pictures showing mail dating as far back as July at facilities in the area.
Wasserman Schultz told NBC 6 she went to one of the facilities in Opa-locka in February.
A member of Congress from South Florida was denied entry to United States Postal Service facilities early Friday morning as questions remain over mail times for ballots ahead of the upcoming general election.
NBC 6 cameras were at both facilities in Opa-locka and Northwest Miami-Dade where Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz attempted to do a spot check after speaking with union members about conditions at processing centers across the area.
Caution tape was reportedly placed over a gate in the early morning hours at the first facility visited in Opa-locka to block entry when Wasserman Schultz arrived around 4 a.m.
“Hours ago, that tape wasn’t there," said Nick Mosezar from the National Postal Mail Handlers Union. "All of a sudden today security is a priority, yet this is one of the worst secured facilities in this state."
“This is an outrage, an absolute outrage,” Wasserman Schultz said. “If they think they are going to throw a bed sheet over what’s going on behind these doors, they are mistaken.”
Wasserman Schultz told NBC 6 she went to the same facility in February, but was told she didn't follow proper protocol and would have to go through a training session before being allowed to enter.
She was also denied access to a second facility in Northwest Miami-Dade later in the morning.
The congresswoman, who sits on the House oversight committee for the USPS, says she received pictures showing mail dating as far back as July at facilities in the area.
“Postmaster (Louis) DeJoy has already obstructed the committee by failing to provide requested documents in a timely way. Now he’s denying Congress access to public facilities,” she said in a statement. “There are no children, defense secrets or sick patients behind those doors. Denying Congress access to the facilities, is denying the vital public oversight of our mail system.”
NBC 6 reached out to the USPS for comment, who responded by saying in part:
"The Postal Service welcomes visits from members of Congress at our facilities, and we routinely arrange for tours. We learned late yesterday afternoon that Representative Wasserman Schultz wanted to arrange for a tour at 4:00 am this morning. 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.”
4am? WTF!
Strange story. I couldn’t quite figure out what her “spot check” was all about. She’s very left wing, but so is most of the USPS.
I’m pretty sure leaking a picture of someone’s mail is a felony.
This is the same woman who was caught in corruption in the 2008 presidential race. It is amazing that she was not ousted from all political endeavors.
What a fraud she is.
Dear God,
Please stop the fraud in the democrat party.
Stop their evil and corrupt schemes. You are great and You can do anything.
Thank You O Great God in Heaven.
Amen.
Think of the ramifications on election night.
Need to add mayo.
Someone needs to sue Fed.gov and states under 14th Amendment, 15th Amendment and Voting Rights Act.
Mail-in ballots as proposed by various states represent extremely different standards of voting - and counting. Different standards mean one vote does not equal another vote.
Its fundamentally corrupt.
“I AM OUTRAGED!”
Amen
So a democrat is showing the incompetence of USPS in getting the mail delivered? I thought they wanted mail in voting. This seems at odds with their stance on that.
That is when most of the mail is there before going out for the day
‘NBC 6 cameras were at both facilities in Opa-locka and Northwest Miami-Dade’
this was a media stunt. (like CNN outside Roger Stone’s house at dawn).
it’s purpose? to suggest Republican shenanigans.
evil.
Bummer. That is what happens when you are only one out of 535 congresscritters (100 in the Senate and 435 in the House). A single congresscritter has no power or authority other than to vote with other congresscritters in their half of the Legislative branch.
The President is the sole head of the Executive branch (something that liberals also have a problem understanding). Congresscritters are just part of a two large groups at the top of the Legislative branch.
Go home Debbie.
Precisely!
Who the hell does she think she is? Nancy Pelosi.

Mail in voting would have worked perfectly when Obama was president. But Trump has made the postal service into a catastrophe of epic proportions. I’ll bet you that dog-faced wife of his had a hand in this as well. And that Barron - he is the most evil of all! He probably threatened to kill all the mail carrier’s pets if they did not swear to shred all the ballots for (chorus of angels singing) Biden. Nope, can’t trust a single one of them!
NBC in Miami is owned and operated by the NBC network.
Their cameras “just happened” to be there when Debbie Blabbermouth went to the post office.
In other words, NBC network is running a propaganda machine for Debbie Blabbermouth and the Democrats.
The media and the Democrats are one and the same.
