Far-right lunatic Republican falls down Capitol steps after speaker vote



ABC News is reporting that MAGA loyalist Rep. Virginia Foxx appeared to fall down the stairs at the U.S. Capitol on Friday after the vote for House speaker.

According to reporter John R. Parkinson, Foxx was holding her nose while bleeding and "receiving medical attention."

He said that she "appears to have fallen down marble stairs on [the] West side of House."

With some older people, falling can become a definite issue. My best friend, who’s a few months younger than I am, has had so much trouble as the years have passed. Sheesh! By now, she has a cane AND a wheelchair, and I think maybe also a set of crutches, and she uses ‘em all.

Kay Granger went MIA back in July and now resides at a mental health facility. Putin may have something to do with it though since Kay spent the 4th of July in Moscow wining and dining with Putin. I never could get an answer from her about said trip.

There had to be plenty in GOP leadership that knew what was going on. Some of the same ones who threw a massive fit when Biden wasn’t feeling well at the debate.
