Congressman John Larson suffers medical episode while speaking on House floor

Many Americans are getting fed up with the advanced age of many of our politicians.

We understand that everyone gets older, and it's not their fault that their physical and mental abilities may not be the same as they were when the politician was younger. However, that doesn't mean we should accept politicians who are unable to perform the duties required of them.

The latest example of a health scare in America's politicians is Representative John Larson freezing while on the floor of the House of Representatives.

The incident reminded many people of when Mitch McConnell seemed to freeze multiple times in recent years.

John Larson's team released a press statement blaming the incident on an "adverse reaction to medication:"

"Congressman Larson appreciates the well wishes from everyone who has reached out. This afternoon, he had what was likely an adverse reaction to a new medication and is having tests administered by the House Attending Physician out of an abundance of caution. He later participated in multiple meetings in his office and was alert and engaged. The Congressman remains in touch with his staff and in good spirits."

From the president on down, America deserves the very best out of our elected officials.

If these people aren't able to conduct their jobs at a high level because of their advanced age, then they need to be removed.

Nancy Pelosi is so old that she required hip replacement after falling during a recent congressional trip to Luxembourg.

Joe Biden's mental abilities had decreased so much that Democrats forced him out of the 2025 election.

Meanwhile, his failing brain was still allowed to make decisions for all of America, no matter how ridiculous they were.

In Biden's final days in office, he pardoned his own obviously guilty son and canceled the executions of most federal death row inmates.

America deserves the very best out of our politicians, and we're not going to get that if the people in power are hundreds of years old.

We commend these people for having the vim and vigor to live that long, but that doesn't mean they're still qualified to be making decisions for the citizens of the United States of America.
