Elder Abuse Is No Way to Run a Government
Briefly

In a striking contrast, Representative Kay Granger's retirement brings forth grave concerns regarding the treatment and visibility of elderly politicians amidst a system that may enable elder abuse.
Granger's family, particularly her son, cited dementia as a reason for her absence, yet conflicting reports indicate her struggles were evident much earlier, raising questions about her care.
The stark differences in how Granger and her colleague Kuster handle retirement spotlight the darker implications of a political environment that may overlook the needs of aging leaders.
The troubling narrative surrounding Granger's last days in office underscores the urgent need for reforms within a system that seemingly allows gerontocracy to flourish unchecked.
