NEW: Democrat Rep. John Larson has a medical episode during a speech, freezes up for nearly a minute after blasting republicans for not “speaking up.”
“Don't worry. No one on the Republican side who controls both the House and Senate is going to speak up…”
Larson has been in Congress since 1999.
He is 76 years old.
In the UK there was a load of medical PSAs about immediately getting someone exhibiting signs of a Stroke (which ofc includes TIA) to hospital coz every second wasted is potentially lifechanging/fatal.
Meanwhile, every time one of these episodes happens to one of your legislative ghouls everyone just sorta stares at them until it subsides, which is a particularly funny way to deal with the ageing politician epidemic i guess.
