Senator Dropped A Flurry Of F-Bombs During Virtual Hearing On The USPS After Thinking He Was On Mute

It's been a very hard year for almost all Americans, and Senator Tom Carper (D-Del.) is no exception.

During a recent virtual Senate hearing, Carper was called on to question Postmaster General Louis DeJoy but was met with technical difficulties and couldn't seem to make his audio work.


As the chairperson of the hearing decided to move past Carper to the next Senator, Carper's mic seemed to turn on just in time to catch his frustrated outburst:

"F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!"


It seemed immediately obvious that the moment would go viral.

Carper even got ahead of the story by tweeting several tongue-in-cheek references to his profanity and calling attention to the postal service crisis.



On Twitter, many people felt they knew exactly what Carper was going through.



2020 has everyone feeling pretty similar to Tom Carper.



Live television will never disappoint when it comes to hilarious moments like these.



Hopefully, someday, Senate hearings will return to the Capitol building, where the only F-bombs dropped are behind closed doors.

Trump Ripped For Forcing Federal Agencies To Send Bonkers Email To Workers Blaming Democrats For Shutdown

President Donald Trump is facing heavy criticism after he ordered federal agencies to send out emails to furloughed workers blaming Democrats in Congress for the government shutdown Tuesday night—a move that's been called out for violating ethics guidelines.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.
