Nancy Pelosi fell in her very high heels, then powered through pain for a photo with a broken hip, GOP Rep. McCaul says

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was donning “very high” heels when she broke her hip in a nasty fall on marble steps at a World War II battlefield site in Luxembourg last Friday — then ostensibly powered through the pain to pose for a group photo.House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas), who helped Pelosi to her feet after the tumble at Grand Ducal Palace, opened up on Tuesday about how the 84-year-old Democrat got injured during the bipartisan trip.“I was right next to her.

She likes to wear high heels — very high.She was on one of her last steps on this marble staircase that didn’t have a railing and she lost her footing and fell to the ground,” McCaul, 62, told reporters.“I immediately helped pick her up.

And we took a picture of that.You can see me holding her up by her hand and then very soon thereafter, a vehicle showed up and took her to the hospital.”Eagle-eyed observers had previously taken note of Pelosi’s seemingly firm grip on McCaul’s hand in the delegation photo on the stairwell at the palace.

Pelosi had been part of a bipartisan delegation to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge in the tiny Western European country nestled between France, Germany and Belgium.In the image, she had her left hand over her hip and some speculated that she looked to be masking discomfort.

After that photo was snapped, Pelosi was whisked away from Luxembourg to the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, which is near the US Ramstein Air Base in Germany, McCaul confirmed.Pelosi has since undergone hip replacement surgery, according to her spokesperson.

“She’s 84, but when I talked to her on the phone, she had a lot of energy.Very spunky.

She wants to get out of there, she wants to fly back home to the United States,” McCaul added.“Overall, she’s in good spirits.”The Post reached out to a Pelosi spokesperson for confirmation that she stood up for the photo after breaking her hip.
