Asleep on the Job: Dem Debbie Dingell Is Woke but Not Awake - She Was Caught Snoozing Through a Hearing

Talk about sleeping on the job! Democrat Representative Debbie Dingell of Michigan was caught on camera taking a nap during a hearing on Wednesday. This wasn’t just closed eyes; the 71-year-old lawmaker was slouching with her head thrown back, taking a snooze for all to see (and probably hear).

Commenters were laughing but also angry at the narcoleptic ninny. (WATCH)

This is so embarrassing for our country. And shameful.

She might be woke, but she’s not awake.

Posters have one snappy solution for our elected sleepy septuagenarians in Congress.

The house sergeant at arms should have air horn can and walk around blasting it in these slackers ear when they fall asleep!

Yet another example of why we need term limits.

Also cognitive tests required for all elected representatives

She’d oversleep and miss this exam.

Some posters say it looks like Debbie’s been partying Nancy Pelosi-style.

She had a rough night it looks like.

Probably three bottles of vodka

She must’ve gotten into Pelosi’s vodka stash.

Pelosi is going to be ticked when she does inventory.

Commenters say Debbie needs proper head and neck support if she is going to be snoozing on Capitol Hill.

Where’s Mike Lindell when you need him.

The least he could do is send her a free promotional MyPillow. Maybe two, it would be nice to have one for her bed at home, too.
