Representative Mike McCaul (R-TX) recounted how Nancy Pelosi fell down a marble staircase and broker her hip.
Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi was forced to cancel the rest of her engagements scheduled on her bipartisan CODEL trip to Luxembourg after she fell downstairs last Friday.
Pelosi was hospitalized during a congressional delegation trip overseas after she fractured her hip.
The 84-year-old had hip replacement surgery after she lost her footing on a marble staircase and fell to the ground.
“Earlier this morning, Speaker Emerita Pelosi underwent a successful hip replacement and is well on the mend,” Pelosi’s spokesperson Ian Krager said in a statement.
“The operation was conducted at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center at Landstuhl Army Base in Germany, her office said. The Defense Department provided medevac support to transport Pelosi there from Luxembourg,” CBS News reported.
The spokesperson added, “Speaker Pelosi is grateful to U.S. military staff at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center at Landstuhl Army Base and medical staff at Hospital Kirchberg in Luxembourg for their excellent care and kindness.”
McCaul said Pelosi was wearing her signature high heels when she lost her footing on the last step on a marble staircase.
“She had a hip replacement. I was right next to her. She likes to wear high heels. Very high. She was on one of her last steps on this marble staircase that didn’t have a railing. She lost her footing and fell to the ground. I immediately helped pick her up,” McCaul said.

Pelosi actually took a photo after she fell down and broke her hip.
McCaul said Pelosi went to the hospital after taking this photo.
Most interesting part of what McCaul recounts to me here is that Pelosi took this photo, he says, AFTER she broke her hip.
She powered thru, took the picture, then went to the hospital, McCaul says. https://t.co/sbGEACyxDV pic.twitter.com/kSpzC6Y3iH
