Yet another disturbing incident involving one of America’s federally elected officials happened today after Mike Johnson was elected House Speaker on Friday.
81-year-old Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) had just finished voting to help elect Johnson when disaster struck. Fox News revealed that she fell on the grand staircases on the GOP side of the Capitol.
PBS Newshour Correspondent Lisa Desjardins revealed Capitol Police soon swarmed the scene to attend to the elderly member of Congress.

I was just looking at her today during the House vote proceedings, thinking “My gosh, who is that old grannie?”
Corruption is WHY they stay in office that long. If they leave someone might start finding loose strings that lead back to them.
I reiterate my comments.
She’s a professional politician, and has been at it far too long.
Before you wish them gone, you better know what is the procedure for replacing a representative in NC. If Stein gets to nominate someone to serve out the term, get set to welcome Speaker Hakeem.
Get rid of their pensions. They can have Social Security and contribute to an IRA like everyone else.
I read that half of all people aged 85 and over have some form of dementia, so a mandatory retirement after the term during which they turn 80 should be sufficient.
I know...Just wanted to note that Pelosi was stupid enough to wear 5 inch heels. Don’t know what Foxx was wearing.
Yeah, a lot of ignorant whining on the thread.
She’s a very conservative House Member. She won her CD with 60% of the vote.
Suffice to say, the voters in her CD like her.
If people take a burn to her, primary her or propose a Constitutional Amendment to limit Federal elected officials to a certain age. Because that’s the only way she’s leaving office unless she decides to on her own.
Colion Noir for the win! :)
👍👍👍
I agree. Agism is a real thing. There are bigots everywhere.
And I reiterate mine: Move to North Carolina, and vote on it.
Good story.
She seems like the type that would probably say “elevators are for old people.” She comes across as a feisty old gal.

These old fools keep falling, but they get up like zombies and go back at it.
Maybe those wascally Fweemasons designed that Gwand Staiwcase to BE the cognitive term limit for Congress?

It is. And a grift motel.
The Acorn?
Financial corruption.
You don’t have a point. Have you ever said anything negative about a politician for whom you are ineligible to vote?
I bet you have ...
