“[She] slipped while walking down the marble staircase outside the House chamber, after walking up to talk to her family in the gallery. After being helped to her feet, and looked over by medical personnel, she proceeded on her own to the Attending Physician’s office to get treated for a few individual cuts. Everything seems to be okay,” Virginia Foxx’s spokesperson said in a statement to Politico.
Rep. Foxx said she suffered “just a few small cuts.”
“Thank you to everyone for your prayers – just a few small cuts and I’m doing just fine,” Rep. Foxx said on X.
“I’m a mountain woman, and we’re tougher than a $2 steak,” she said.
