House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler had to receive medical attention Friday after a health scare at an event in New York City.

Despite reports that the powerful New York Democrat appeared to pass out, his office said he merely felt ill but did not faint. A spokesman for Nadler told Fox News that the congressman is “okay” and “seems to have been dehydrated,” describing the room as “very warm.”

Nadler, 71, was speaking at a press conference on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, alongside 2020 Democratic hopeful New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, when the incident happened. De Blasio could be seen checking on him and patting him on the shoulder, as someone brought over a glass of water.

Fox News is told the congressman was being taken to a hospital in an ambulance.

“He is now responsive and receiving a check-up,” a spokesman told Fox News.

Nadler’s office noted that he was sitting down, so he “did not faint or anything.”

But local reporters on social media attending the event said that Nadler appeared to have briefly passed out.

Later, Nadler, on Twitter, said he was feeling "much better."

"He must have been stampeding an all you can eat buffet."

That, or he and Chucky Schumer tripped over each other trying to get in front of a TV camera.

[Retvet]

We the people need to need Nadlers medical records!

[LRoggy]

Dunkin’ Donuts ran out of the Baker’s dozen and he got a panic attack . . .

[SunkenCiv]

I admit that the prospect of his continued health is scary.

[SFConservative]

Tainted orange! I thought Jerry knew that anything orange is BAD, BAD!!

[hal ogen]

The guy is an oaf. It is unfortunate for him that he is ill.

As a liberal hospital bureaucrat told me as they were stuck getting the Obama "coding" system up and running, "oh if they want they will get a hold of your records" Like any Gov't acronym HIPPA wasn't to protect you but to get to your stuff.

Do you think we will find out if Nadler is diabetic, has a heart condition etc etc ? No, he is of the protected class, w/ congress only healthcare.
