More from the NYT:
Representative Jerrold Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, was taken to a hospital after apparently fainting during a news conference on Friday in Manhattan.Mr. Nadler, 71, was seated at a table in a gymnasium at Public School 199 on the Upper West Side, where Mayor Bill de Blasio was heralding the expansion of New York City’s speed camera program.Thirty minutes after Mr. Nadler, a Democrat, made brief remarks, his head appeared to slump. A woman seated behind Mr. Nadler pointed at him, and then Mr. de Blasio attempted to revive Mr. Nadler as spectators became alarmed.“It looked like he had just taken a little nap for a moment, and then I put my hand on his shoulder and I said, ‘Jerry are you O.K.?’” Mr. de Blasio said afterward.Mr. Nadler responded, “No.”Three doctors from NYC Health & Hospitals attended to Mr. Nadler, and Mr. de Blasio helped Mr. Nadler to drink some Gatorade from the mayor’s metal water bottle. A fan was turned on, and the gymnasium was cleared.
Later, Nadler tweeted:
Political warfare is grueling, exhausting work, but we’re glad Rep. Nadler is just fine.
