Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi, 84, was hospitalized while abroad on a congressional delegation, her office said on Friday.

 

"While traveling with a bipartisan Congressional delegation in Luxembourg to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi sustained an injury during an official engagement and was admitted to the hospital for evaluation," her spokesperson Ian Krager said in a statement.

 

"Speaker Emerita Pelosi is currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals," the statement read. "She continues to work and regrets that she is unable to attend the remainder of the CODEL engagements to honor the courage of our servicemembers during one of the greatest acts of American heroism in our nation's history."

 

"Speaker Emerita Pelosi conveys her thanks and praise to our veterans and gratitude to people of Luxembourg and Bastogne for their service in World War II and their role in bringing peace to Europe," Krager added.

I'm sure she's currently getting top-tier treatment from Luxembourg's *checks notes* state-funded single-payer healthcare system. I hope that she sees how cost-efficient and effective it is and persuades her fellow members of congress to enact something similar in her own home country after she recovers.

She might not have to worry for long.

Oh

[Capris Groove]

I hope it's nothing life-threatening but as others have said, this dinosaur fossil needs to retire already.

Miss AOC must have taken out our voodoo doll today

Well yeah, she's 84 🥴

[Velvet Night]

Right after McConnell fell, I think there's a correlation here…

So, anyway, I hope AOC takes a leadership position, while Pelosi is distracted.

UPDATE: It's a hip injury and not fatal.

Step into the ******* light

[allforyou]

Wishing her a speedy recovery but it's insane to me that she's 84 years old and is still holding an office  There should be an age limit to things like this

[pink lightning]

I'm so sorry but every time I see her name I think it's Nathy Peluso

[IBeMe]

i have a soft spot for miss Pelosi even tho she is corrupt AF and trying to sabotage AOC apparently behind the scenes lol

yeah i mean even drivers licenses can be removed from ppl at a certain point. I think there needs to be a retirement age just like in every other job. 70 seems fair. it's like 5 years older than what retirement is for other jobs so seems fair enough. Politics is so important and impacts generations to come. Having octogenarians decided life altering things is insane when they are on their way out to the other side in a few years 

[Cheers]

It's time for her to retire. I'll take over if they want.

[l3disko]

Too many corpses in the office.

 

There absolutely needs to be an age limit.

[ClashAndBurn]

Oh no!

 

...Anyway...

[Mike91]

Not good PR for someone going around trying to convince other members that democratic leadership in the House is not too old.

[CandyCoatedClouds]

Not i don't wish I'll will on Mrs. Pelosi so don't misunderstand, however I also don't feel bad that she fell. If anything, this should teach her to sit her old ass down somewhere and stop trying to stop young progressive women from leading the party! 

[loveisdead9582]

I hope she recovers quickly. A hip injury at that age is no joke. Age limits absolutely need to be implemented. 

[Bethenny Frankel]

AOC is so getting that oversight position now that Nancy will have to recover
