In a statement Friday, the office of Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said that the Senator broke “a number of ribs and bones in his face” after an accident that occurred while he was exercising at home.” He is expected to make a full recovery, but had to stay overnight at the hospital as a precaution.
On Thursday, Senator Reid received treatment at University Medical Center in Las Vegas for injuries sustained in an accident he suffered while exercising at home in Henderson. A piece of equipment Senator Reid was using to exercise broke, causing him to fall and break a number of ribs and bones in his face. Senator Reid will return to Washington this weekend and be in the office Tuesday as the Senate prepares to reconvene. His doctors expect a full recovery. Senator Reid was first brought to St. Rose Dominican Hospital in Henderson by his security detail. He was then transferred to UMC for further testing, where he was admitted overnight as a precaution.
When a 75-year-old man falls and breaks bones, it’s a rather serious matter. The specifics of the injury aren’t the issue. The issue is that an old man fell and was seriously injured. It doesn’t matter if he’s a powerful Senator. Unfortunately, that’s not how Republicans on Twitter saw it. As you can imagine, they were quite happy with the Leader’s unfortunate accident.
Notice how mature Republicans are when it comes to people being injured. I bet they were all “praying” for George H.W. Bush when he was in the hospital for breathing issues.
