Rep. John Larson (D-CT), 76, appeared to freeze while speaking on the House floor for almost a minute.
Once he unfroze, Larson spoke slower. From Fox News:
“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,” Larson’s office wrote in a statement.”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.”
I hope it’s only because of medicine and Larson can fix it.
But this episode is not going to help the aging members of Congress.
Sen. Mitch McConnell suffered two freezing episodes, sprained his wrist when he fell in December, and fell down the Senate stairs earlier this month.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi broke her hip in Luxembourg in December. She ended up in the hospital.
Pelosi fell while wearing “very high” heels.
Pelosi underwent hip replacement surgery a week later.
