A longtime Maryland Democrat and one of the longest-serving members in Congress survived a stroke over the weekend his team announced Tuesday.
Rep. Steny Hoyer, 85, has represented Maryland in Congress since first being elected in 1981.
'On Sunday night, August 11, Rep. Steny Hoyer experienced a mild ischemic stroke and sought medical treatment,' Hoyer spokesperson Margaret Mulkerrin wrote in a statement.
'Mr. Hoyer has responded well to treatment and has no lingering symptoms. He expects to resume his normal schedule next week.'
'Mr. Hoyer’s wife and family extend their deepest thanks to his medical team,' the statement concluded.

Unfortunately, so is the White House right now.

He should get a booster shot.
.....he is living off the fumes of the mid 60’s democratic party...the new Marxist,socialist “woke” democratic party will brutally dump him soon enough...
p.s. he had his time to “make his peace where highways never end” and if he never did....well...what can I say?
Its hard to kill Satan.
Such an honorable,patriotic man.Tonight I might say a special pr....well,maybe not!
Good. Communists are scum.
Nope. Glad he died. I hope Satan has a pineapple to shove up his backside.
“”I have nothing nice to say, so I’ll say nothing.””
I guess that’s the smartest response but I think he spent too many years with Pelosi...that’s it!!!
The late-60s Democratic Party was also Marxist/socialist. Look at their party platforms.
“Mr. Hoyer has responded well to treatment and has no lingering symptoms..”
Ain’t this a bitch. The guy is a stool sample.
The upside though is that these archaic filthy dems hang on until they croak and never get to fully enjoy their ill gotten gains in retirement. They have such bloated egos and their identity is completely merged with their corrupt titles.
This just PROVES that being in Congress is a CUCHY JOB with OODLES of BENEFITS!!! TOO MANY ILLEGAL BENEFITS!! 82??? Good freaking grief!
So did mine, unfortunately he survived because as DPA for his healthcare, I revoked his DNR on the spot. Angry and more angry and then deranged for another six years. Hopefully the same thing happens to Hoyer. POLITICS AIN'T BEANBAG ANYMORE AFTER KLINK PAVED THE ROAD FOR THE OBAMA ARMY. And Hoyer helped Klink spread the hot asphalt with both hands.
There needs to be a top age limit on politicians to include enough time left on the clock to bear witness to the consequences of their policies.
Just think. He has been in Congress 1 year longer (43 years) in his lifespan than he was not in Congress (42).
Could this be a problem?
Remember the Rush Limbaugh Jurassic Park parody?
Yes. It is a bad problem. With both parties.
We need to stop electing people who should have had the sense to retire 20 years ag0.
I have always preach the importance of always putting up an opponent no matter how unlikely you will win. I don’t know the political makeup of the district or the pre-election rules on vacancies, but Michelle could waltz into Congress.
Democratic Member of Congress Steny Hamilton Hoyer
• FEC H2MD05155; 30 Jun 24; Tot $1,451,236; Dsb $1,391,283
Republican Michelle Talkington

“I don’t know the political makeup of the district or the pre-election rules on vacancies, but Michelle could waltz into Congress.”
The political makeup of the district is D+15 with tons of white collar welfare animals (i.e. government “workers”). Trump will be lucky to break 30% there.
Hoyer could croak, not be replaced on the ballot, and Talkington would still get crushed even by (D) write-in votes.
