Congresswoman Kay Granger, Republican from Texas, had been absent from public view for six months. She was just lately found residing in a dementia care dwelling.

Granger, a venerable determine within the Republican Social gathering and a consultant of Texas’s twelfth Congressional District since 1997, had not been seen casting a vote since July. She is 81 years of age.

Her disappearance from the political scene was initially shrouded in silence. However a reporter for the Dallas Specific determined to begin asking questions. What he discovered was nothing in need of surprising.

After calls to Granger’s workplace went unanswered and visits to her area workplace yielded locked doorways and lined home windows, the reporter spoke to a constituent who offered an unimaginable tip.

“The congresswoman has been residing at a local memory care and assisted living home for some time after having been found wandering, lost, and confused in her former Cultural District/West 7th neighborhood,” they write.

It could be inconceivable to give you a stronger metaphor for the Republican institution. Or the state of our flesh pressers normally.

The place Did Lacking Congresswoman Kay Granger Go?

Quite than simply taking the constituent’s phrase for it, the Dallas Specific reporter determined to go to the assisted care facility to inquire as to how Granger can be voting on the just lately handed spending invoice.

The Assistant Government Director for the senior residing facility informed the reporter he couldn’t meet with Ms. Granger however confirmed, “This is her home.”

Granger had deliberate to retire in January, however her early departure from workplace is unsettling. The truth that she might simply disappear primarily with out the general public’s data, leaving her district with out illustration, is borderline legal.

If not for her – as a consequence of her psychological and emotional points – then definitely for her employees, who stored it underneath wraps. It raises questions relating to the well-being of elected officers and the mechanisms in place to make sure transparency and accountability.

It raises questions on what sort of “service” her workplace was offering for the 700,000-odd Texans she was duly sworn to signify. It raises questions on her colleagues, who absolutely knew one thing was amiss – if not for her absence, then for the entire absence of congressional places of work that we taxpayers shovel over our cash to fund.

The Specific report hints strongly that the transfer to maintain her well being struggles secret was an try to permit staffers to maintain getting paid till she retired.

“In the meantime, Congresswoman Granger and her staff currently remain on the taxpayer’s payroll until January 3rd, 2025, ostensibly taking early retirement and a long taxpayer-funded vacation while District 12 taxpayers have no representation in Congress,” they write.

Propping up a senior citizen and masking up their poor well being to gather cash off their backs is elder abuse, and worse, it’s a legal breach of the general public belief.

81-year-old Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX), who hasn’t been seen for six months, discovered residing in a dementia care facility.

Being a politician shouldn’t be a lifelong profession. It needs to be one thing one reluctantly does for the betterment of society.

‘Very Rapid’ Decline

Kay Granger’s son, Brandon, spoke to the New York Put up and indicated his mom had quickly declined as a consequence of dementia. Nonetheless, he claims indicators of that solely confirmed up after she moved into the assisted care dwelling.

The youthful Granger mentioned he helped transfer the congresswoman into the power, and since then, her decline has been “very rapid and very difficult.”

A separate supply states that any assertions that Ms. Granger is within the reminiscence care unit are “categorically false.” They contend that the power is solely a retirement dwelling.

“A lot of people there are younger than she is. A lot of them still work,” Brandon mentioned. “There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be around people she can spend time with, have a cocktail with.”

“She just decided to retire. She’s 81.”

She might have moved into the house in January when she formally retired. She might have voted nonetheless, if her psychological colleges have been sound. And you may’t say she merely developed indicators of dementia after transferring in whereas nonetheless insisting she’s not in a reminiscence care wing of the power.

Granger issued a press release by a spokesperson on the matter.

“I am deeply grateful for the outpouring of care and concern over the past several days,” she mentioned, in accordance with the assertion.

“As many of my family, friends, and colleagues have known, I have been navigating some unforeseen health challenges over the past year. However, since early September, my health challenges have progressed making frequent travel to Washington both difficult and unpredictable.”

That she doesn’t have the distinction or integrity to resign – or that she’s being taken benefit of by grifters for a paycheck – is one more metaphor for the previous GOP.
