Congresswoman Kay Granger (R-TX), who had been out of sight for six months, was discovered residing in a dementia care facility. In office since 1997, Granger is 81 years old.
Since being diagnosed with dementia, her children have been embroiled in a legal battle over her extensive property portfolio, including multiple estates in Texas. The case is currently pending in Tarrant County Probate Court, with allegations of mismanagement and undue influence complicating the proceedings.
If Kay Granger hasn’t been seen in six months, how did her Twitter account recently post photos of her? What’s even stranger is that the tweets have no captions to provide any context!
Granger was found wandering her neighborhood confused in July. She’s been in a facility for Alzheimer’s since then getting paid. Staff paid too but closed offices. Essentially all get full pay for no work. Her district is unrepresented.
