During a speech at the 112th New York Young Republicans Club Gala held at Cipriani Wall Street, Donald Trump campaign adviser Alex Bruesewitz suddenly collapsed. On Sunday, a video showed Bruesewitz slurring his words before collapsing.
Alex Bruesewitz, a 27-year-old political strategist, was introducing Dan Scavino, the incoming White House deputy chief of staff when he began struggling with his speech. “I’m forgetting my words,” Bruesewitz remarked before pausing and falling to the side, causing the lectern to topple. Several attendees provided immediate assistance as the audience expressed concern.
Following the incident, Raheem Kassam, the event’s master of ceremonies and former aide to Nigel Farage, updated the audience about Bruesewitz’s condition. Bruesewitz maintained his spirits backstage, jokingly asking, “Did I at least look cool?” Kassam reassured everyone that Bruesewitz was recuperating and encouraged a cheer from the crowd to support him.
