Senator Mitt Romney was knocked unconscious when he fell in Boston last weekend, leaving him with “many stitches” and a black eye.
‘I fell. Knocked me out. But I’m doing better, ”Romney told reporters on Capitol Hill Monday night.
The Utah Republican said he was visiting his grandchildren when he was injured.
With noticeable bruises under his right eye, Romney brought some humor into the situation.
“I went to CPAC, that was a problem,” the Republican lawmaker joked, referring to the conservative political action conference that ended Sunday.
Romney was not invited to the festive event after receiving backlash over his vote to overthrow ex-President Donald Trump.
When asked how many stitches he got, Romney claimed he wasn’t sure.
“Lots of stitches. I don’t know how many. I asked the doctor how many stitches and she said, I don’t know, but it all goes through my eyebrow and my lip. “
