Congresswoman Missing For 6 Months Found Living In a Dementia Facility

[Conservative Angle]

​

In case you needed more evidence in favor of term limits, here’s some: an elderly Congresswoman who nobody could find for 6 months has just been found…

Living in a dementia care facility.

81-year-old Republican Rep. Kay Granger has served Texas’s 12th Congressional District since first being elected in 1997 — that’s 27 years!

In July, she suddenly vanished from the public.

Note — this means she’s been MIA from Congress, not working or casting any votes, for 6 months now!

It wasn’t until a reporter decided to do his own investigation as to just where the hell Rep. Granger had been that he discovered she’s been living at an assisted living facility that specializes in dementia.

The reporter, whose name is Carlos Turcios, posted this on X:

BREAKING: We got a tip from a Granger constituent who shared that the Congresswoman has been residing at a local memory care and assisted living home for some time. Why have the public and Ms. Granger’s constituents been left in the dark about her whereabouts and the nature of… pic.twitter.com/rUch6knVJb

Before going missing, Rep. Granger had announced that she planned to retire soon.

No word yet on why nobody told Congress or her constituents that she was living in a dementia home!

I mean, seriously, why didn’t her family notify anyone?

This ridiculous turn of events is sparking conversation on X.

Here’s what people are saying:

The fact that Kay Granger is unable to leave her nursing home to participate in the most important congressional vote of the year suggests she was already in visible decline when she ran for re-election in 2022.

A sad and humiliating way to end her political career. Sad that… https://t.co/ElXhv6wWcW

They just won’t give up their seats in the world’s greatest gig. McConnell, Biden, Pelosi, Granger now. Geriatrics too old to take care of themselves who won’t leave office. How long has she been in this condition? How many years was she in Washington?

There needs to be TERM and AGE LIMITS! Not only do they pose a risk to our national security, but are costing US tax payers to be GERIATRIC PATIENTS in the care of Government that we are forced to pay for.

The fact a politician can vanish for months on end without notice and with pay is disgusting. Most of them are MIA as it is. And when you’re in your f*king 80s get the hell out!!

In his report for The Dallas Express, Carlos Turcio provided more details on his investigation into Rep. Granger’s whereabouts:

Amid the ongoing drama in D.C. with Congress furiously debating and voting on an interim spending bill a key question has arisen from constituents in Texas Congressional District 12, “Where is Congresswoman Kay Granger?”

Some Tarrant County residents have begun to speculate.

“I’m hearing she’s in a memory care unit. We need to have standards. Representatives who miss 3 votes in a row without announcing a legitimate medical reason should have their salaries and benefits frozen. This has to stop!” Fairfighter posted on X.

According to Ms. Granger’s roll call vote page, Grangers last vote was on July 24th, 2024 as she voted No to the “Amendment in the House H.Amdt. 1157 (Miller) to H.R. 8998: To reduce the salary of Ya-Wei (Jake) Li, Deputy Assistant Administrator for Pesticide Programs, to $1.”

Since then, Granger has not cast any votes in Washington on behalf of her Tarrant and Parker County constituents.

The Dallas Express attempted to reach her district and D.C. offices but calls went directly to voicemail where a recorded message from Congresswoman Granger plays.

“I am sorry we are unable to answer your phone right now. We are really glad you called us. Please leave your name, phone number and a brief message and someone in our office will call you back as soon as possible,” the recorded message says.

We then visited her office in person hoping to understand how Congresswoman Granger planned to vote on the continuing resolution this afternoon. Upon arrival, we found the door locked, front door glass window covered, no one inside, and no sign of the office continuing to be occupied.

When we asked employees at the WestBend building where Ms. Granger’s district office is located what happened to Ms. Granger’s office we were told that her team had packed up and closed the office before Thanksgiving. Her office appears to be closed for good (she is retiring at the end of the session) with phone calls going unanswered and voice mails not returned.

We then received a tip from a Granger constituent who shared that 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.

The Dallas Express team visited the facility to confirm whether Granger was residing there and to inquire about how she planned to vote on the spending bill. Upon arrival, two employees confirmed that Granger is indeed living at the facility. However, we were not permitted to conduct an interview regarding the current spending debate in the House of Representatives and how or if Ms. Granger planned to vote.

Taylor Manziel who is the Assistant Executive Director for the senior living facility acknowledged to The Dallas Express that “This is her home.”

Rep. Kay Granger is due to be replaced next month by incoming Congressman-elect Craig Goldman.
But, in the meantime until then, Rep. Granger and her staff are still on the taxpayer’s payroll!
And, the constituents of Texas’s 12th Congressional District have no representation…
Make of that what you will.
Something’s gotta give…
