Breaking: Nadler appears to almost pass out

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Jerry Nadler appeared weak and on the verge of passing out at a presser Friday in Manhattan
At one point as Mayor de Blasio is speaking, there's a commotion and people flock to help Nadler, who seemed weak and pale
When de Blasio asks Nadler if he was OK, Nadler can be heard responding with a faint "no" before putting his hand over his face

2. He seemed "off" on Rachel's show last night also. I pray he's going to be ok. n/t

[davekriss]

21. I thought so, too

[hedda_foil]

22. He didn't look well last night and had a deep cough that he couldn't stifle.

I hope he's okay.

[Hoyt]

23. +1. Saw him last night and he looked like he was about to pass out at desk. It was on MSNBC I think.

He didn't look well

Text for the twitter-deprived:

Appreciate everyone's concern. Was very warm in the room this morning, was obviously dehydrated and felt a bit ill. Glad to receive fluids and am feeling much better. Thank you for your thoughts.

[mcar]

14. I'm a good bit younger than him

and cannot handle heat well at all. I empathize.

[lunatica]

18. Yeah, I'm very sensitive to heat

I get sluggish both physically and mentally. I hate the feeling.

[RandySF]

12. I hope he's watching his heart.

He used to be pretty heavy.

[RandySF]

15. Trump's strategy

Snort enough Adoral to outlast his enemies.

[dewsgirl]

27. This 1000 percent.

[Me.]

16. Bet He's Dieting

[Jersey Devil]

19. Nadler was once grossly overweight

He's had surgery and over the years has lost more than 100 pounds

[Me.]

25. I Know That

which is why I wonder if dieting was involved

[EarnestPutz]

20. I think I read recently that he had gastric bypass surgery a while back.

I remember when he was a freshman congressman and the networks were interviewing new members. He was really quite rotund back then and has lost a lot of weight. Folks with bypass surgery have to eat numerous small meals, a few tablespoons at a time, to keep their blood sugar up.

24. Be well!

29. Our gov't is run by a mafia boss and willing treasonous henchmen

Exotic poisonings is one of Putins over used methods of silencing dissent. Barr's probably got some prototype poisons fresh from the Kremlin ready for field test?

31. Or, y'know, he's a guy with a weight issue

who overheated. Not everything is a conspiracy.

[albacore]

30. I'm a terrible person....

My own (old) heart skips a beat when I hear news like this. Nadler is brilliant. And NEEDED! Like RBG.
But the second thought I have is that Rush Limbaugh and Hannity and McConnell and the rest of those assholes keep breathing in and out and fucking up not just our country, but the world. They live on... instead of getting their karmic just rewards.
I know I'm a bad person for wanting karma to go bite them on the ass and leave Nadler and RBG alone. Proud of it, too.

32. I hoe this seat isn't cursed.

His predecessor, Ted Weiss, died in office.
