GOP Rep’s Son Denies She’s Living In Dementia Facility

Axios reports:

Congress’ long-simmering debate over the age of its members has resurfaced over revelations that Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas) has been living in an independent living facility in Texas. Granger’s son Brandon told the Dallas Morning News that she has been “having some dementia issues late in the year.”

Brandon Granger pushed back on a report from the Dallas Express – whose CEO Chris Putnam ran against Granger in 2020 – that his mother was living in a memory care facility. Instead, he said, she resides in a facility which advertises itself as a “luxury senior living community.”

Read the full article. The real issue, of course, is how Granger’s staff and fellow House Republicans apparently covered up for her six month absence.
