A supporter of President Trump says a postal worker wrote ‘BLM’ on her mail.
The California resident, who asked to be identified only as Donna out of fear of retaliation, said video from a security camera shows a mail carrier walking toward her home while carrying mail and also writing something down, according to FOX 11.
Donna has a large Trump flag on her property and said Trump is a “great president.”
“I’m just curious, how many people in this whole neighborhood have a Trump sign and if they do … they probably got BLM written on their mail also,” she told a reporter.
Donna called the post office to report the tampering and said the manager told her that the carrier would be fired. A spokeswoman for the United States Postal Service said the government department would take “appropriate action.”
“We are disappointed to see the actions of our employee and apologize to the customers affected by this incident. The Postal Service is investigating the matter and will take appropriate action to ensure this does not occur again,” the spokeswoman said.
Her neighbor, Carlos Sanchez, supports her story. “You know what, it’s 100% sure. You know why, nobody coming inside for writing the email. Only this guy has access for that thing.”
The USPS has been under increasing scrutiny as it prepares to handle an unprecedented number of ballots as states increase access to mail-in voting.
The National Association of Letter Carriers endorsed Democratic nominee Joe Biden in August, saying the group’s decision was “based on the input of our membership through polling, surveys, responses to our candidate questionnaire.”
