Senator Mitt Romney fell unconscious when he fell in Boston over the weekend, leaving him with “a lot of points” and a black eye.
“I fell. It knocked me unconscious. But I’m 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 on his right eye, Romney instilled some humor in the situation.
“I went to the CPAC, that was a problem,” the Republican lawmaker joked in reference to the Conservative Political Action Conference that ended Sunday.
Romney was not invited to the marquee event after receiving a backlash over his vote to accuse former President Donald Trump.
Asked how many kicks he received, Romney said he wasn’t sure.
“Many stitches. I don’t know how many. I asked the doctor how many stitches and he said, “I don’t know, but it goes through the eyebrow and the lip.”
