Republican congressman John Rutherford has collapsed during a vote in the House.The newly sworn-in representative from Florida suffered a 'medical emergency' in a cloakroom during a series of sessions on Wednesday, reports suggest.He was then taken out of the Capitol on a stretcher. Simone Pathe, a reporter for Roll Call, heard from his colleagues that he had suffered a 'massive heart attack'.His condition is not known.According to The Hill, he was receiving oxygen through a mask when he was wheeled to an ambulance. Rutherford is a former sheriff from Jacksonville, Florida.He was elected to Congress in November, succeeding Republican Ander Crenshaw, who retired after eight terms.
Thanks Frank.
