Rep. Virginia Foxx, 81, Slips and Falls on First Day of New Congress
Foxx, 81, is the most recent elderly lawmaker to have hurt herself while on the job. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, was admitted to a hospital after sustaining a hip injury in Luxembourg. She required surgery and was seen without her signature stilettos when the House of Representatives reconvened Friday.
Maybe we shouldn't be electing senior citizens to plan the future of the country.
If the US an have a minimum age for president they damn well can have a maximum age. I know it'll never happen because the US government is run by dinosaurs, but people can still dream.
Pelosi fell, McConnell fell, this lady fell, Kay Granger is locked in a memory care unit…
Congress is a nursing home/hospice
"During her time in office, Foxx was one of the 11 members of Congress to vote against the $51 billion aid package to victims of Hurricane Katrina. She also introduced the Preserving Employee Wellness Programs Act in 2017.
She later voted against both articles of impeachment in 2019 for former President Donald Trump, with her also being one of the 147 Republican lawmakers who objected to the certification of electoral votes from the 2020 presidential election on January 6, 2021.
Foxx is an opponent of the Affordable Care Act, saying that "we have more to fear from the potential of the Affordable Health Care for America Act passing than we do from any terrorist right now in any country." In 2022, Foxx voted against the Respect for Marriage Act to codify same-sex and interracial marriage rights federally."
Wow. Really a servant of the people, this one.
