Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney took a bad fall in Boston over the weekend while visiting his grandchildren in the state of his former governorship.
The fall knocked Romney unconscious and gave him a black eye.
"I took a fall. Knocked me unconscious. But I'm doing better," he said to reporters on Capitol Hill.
He also took the opportunity to roast the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

Romney was one of seven GOP Senators who broke ranks with his party and voted to convict former President Trump of inciting an insurrection at the US Capitol.
