Profiles in Gerontocracy: Eleanor Holmes Norton

How senile can moonbats get before even other Democrats acknowledge they are unfit to rule over us? Joe Biden gave us an idea. So does DC’s congressional delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton:

Norton, 88, was duped by multiple suspects Thursday who went to her Washington, DC, home claiming to be HVAC workers, according to an internal police report obtained by NBC News4.

The swindlers charged $4,362 to the Democratic congresswoman’s credit card without performing any work.

If that’s how easily she is parted from her own money, imagine how easily she would be parted from ours.

Norton’s “caretaker/power of attorney was not at residence” at the time the group showed up, which was just after 3:30 p.m., the report states, noting that it was Norton’s “caretaker” who called DC police after noticing the unscheduled arrival at the congresswoman’s home.

You can see why she needs a caretaker. According to the police report, the 88-year-old Democrat suffers from dementia.

The congresswoman is described as being “unable to function independently,” leaning on aides, close friends and family members for help, the [New York Times] reported, noting that she rarely attends House Oversight Committee meetings and appears at times not to recognize people she has known for years.

And yet:

Norton (D-DC) told Axios last month that she has no plans to leave Congress despite the mounting concerns about her mental acuity.

“Of course,” she responded, when asked if she was running for re-election.

Anyone doubt she will win in DC?

Good thing she can’t vote on the final passage of bills. Unfortunately, the moment Democrats have the leverage to push it through, they will make the District of Columbia a state, as supported by Joe Biden. Eleanor Holmes Norton will become a regular congressmember, and two more of similar quality will be senators.
