Summary
Rep. Virginia Foxx, 81, slipped and fell on the marble staircase outside the House chamber on the first day of the 119th Congress.
She sustained minor injuries, including cuts, and sought treatment from the attending physician.
Foxx has represented North Carolina’s 5th district since 2005 and holds prominent conservative positions, including opposition to the Affordable Care Act and the Respect for Marriage Act.
The incident follows recent falls by other elderly lawmakers, sparking broader concerns about aging leadership in Congress.
I mean on marble stairs you could probably take old folks out with a few drops of water from a Dasani which like Foxx only deserves to be on the floor.
