Who exercises on New Year’s Day?
We are told that on January 1, 2015, Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) did just that in his home in Henderson, Nevada. when supposedly an exercise band snapped, sending the 75-year-old crashing into cabinets.
“A piece of equipment Senator Reid was using to exercise broke, causing him to fall and break a number of ribs and bones in his face,” read a statement from his office.
Yesterday (Feb. 24), nearly 2 months after his “workout accident,” Reid appeared at a news conference wearing sunglasses.
The shades replaced the large bandage Reid’s been using to cover his facial bruises, but as you can see, the bruises are still visible.
Whoa! That must have been some “exercise band”!
In response to reporters asking about his sunglasses, Reid said. “I can see out of my right eye, just not very well. And it hasn’t healed. I have to be very — I have to be a patient, patient.”
In May 2011, Reid dislocated his shoulder, bumped his forehead, and sustained a contusion just below his left eye when he slipped and fell during a morning jog in the rain. Reid was leaning on a wet car near his home in Washington, D.C.’s Ritz-Carlton hotel when he tumbled to the ground. (See “Harry Reid breaks ribs & face in second “exercise” injury in 3 years”)
