A Republican Congresswoman who has been “missing” for the past six months has finally been found.

Rep. Kay Granger has served as the representative for Texas’s 12th Congressional District since 1997.

However, she suddenly disappeared from the public eye around July this year, when she cast her final vote against an amendment to reduce the salary of Deputy Assistant Administrator for Pesticide Programs to $1.

A curious reporter at the local Dallas Express newspaper did some digging on Granger’s whereabouts and has finally been able to give her constituents some answers.

The reporter, Carlos Turcios, began by contacting her offices, from which they went directly to voicemail.

“I am sorry we are unable to answer your phone right now,” Granger said. “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 reporter then went to her constituency office only to find absolutely no signs of life or activity.

Seemingly at a dead end, Turcios then received a tip-off from a local resident that Granger was residing at an assisted living facility specializing in memory care.

His report explains:

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.”


It remains unclear why Granger’s relatives or staff declined to disclose her condition to the public.

Among those to express their displeasure at the situation was State Republican Executive Committeeman Rolando Garcia, who described it as a “sad and humiliating way to end her political career.”

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

Granger had already announced her retirement at the end of this Congress.

From January, the seat will be held by Craig Goldman, a Republican who was formerly a member of the Texas House of Representatives.

Can’t really think of anything more emblematic of America’s protracted decline than our elected officials hiding out in dementia care facilities.  The people responsible for this should receive prison time but, as ever, nothing will happen to those in power.

Dementia Joe the "Kid Molester" should be in a care home.
Instead the loony-libz prop him up in front of a Teleprompter and let him spew nonsense (while shitting his diaper).

It’s so frustrating because the only people who could pass such legislation are under high incentive to ensure it never comes to vote

Just to clarify:  are you against term limits for politicians?

To answer your question: Current political structure favors incumbent candidates greatly.  Which makes sense, they’re the ones that make the laws.

current systems always favor incumbents  worldwide 

I can see the worth of term limits but in an open competitive democratic system they might be a moot point
They are in some respects an affirmative action
the more concerning question is that if our electoral system is:  open competitive and democratic why there is such stagnancy

In the past three presidential elections the oldest candidate has won the election

Some politician out of the 500 + congress members , so obscure no one noticed her missing.

Meanwhile 4 years of a farting, falling, fumbling retard, embarrassing the shit out of the country, didn't concern you in the least bit. And the people who covered up his incoherence/incompetence - only until it became obvious they couldn't win with him- should be jailed.

Yes!  Well stated about the Dems! 

The cucks consistently use blanket statements because they can smother the reality of truth with them.  But Mr. Biden's faults were so dramatic that the truth was so evident that even the Dems couldn't continue using him as an asspuppet.  So they chose his dumbass Veep to feed her word salad to the masses of asses that make up the Democratic Party.

FTN and God Bless these once again united,  United States of America!

Yes, I agree that 2-3 year prison sentences would be appropriate for those in Biden’s cabinet that knowingly concealed his condition.  That’s a fantastic idea and you have my full support in it. If you think I am a Biden supporter you are mistaken.  Who said anything about Biden though  ???

Regarding this lady - who cares if nobody noticed?  Are you seriously trying to brush this off?

I brought up biden.  Because ihe's the most relevant and obvious example of a politician in total mental collapse..  FFS, hes still the sitting president of the US and is a complete shitshow,  and you were fine with it. I bring him up to point out your liberal hypocrisy.

Always an expert in missing the point, eh? Far from 'brushing it off' , I only contrast her obscurity with the most high profile politician on the planet to underline my point.

Everything she did in her official capacity should be audited. Her salary should be retrospectively garnished/seized.  The same is true of the last 4 years. This fucking retard just pardoned 1800 criminals, and you're fine with it. The guy doesn't even know wether he's licking an ice cream cone or a 7 year old.

Not that this is trying to trivialize it, but I believe she was a state rep not a US House member.
