This is a breaking news alert…

He reportedly fell 25 feet off his roof:

Thank you to all who continue to pray for Congressman Steube. The Congressman was knocked approximately 25 feet down off a ladder while cutting tree limbs on his Sarasota property yesterday afternoon.

Rep. Greg Steube, who is in the ICU in Sarasota, Florida with injuries sustained from a 25' fall after deciding he was competent to do his own tree work, will not be phoning it in.

He has already declared his opposition to proxy voting. pic.twitter.com/KvVRp6Lv0t

I’m not saying that didn’t happen, I’m just saying perhaps he was too aggressively pursuing truth?

I don’t know too many members of Congress who are up on their own roofs…

Congress isn’t really known for “Manual Labor”.

Something funny going on here?

Greg Steube is as tough as they come.

Ginger and I are praying for your full and speedy recovery, my friend.

It was his neighbor who found him:

Now being told that it was a part-time aide for @VernBuchanan, Steube’s congressional neighbor, who moonlights as an Amazon delivery driver who discovered Steube in this situation. https://t.co/7BaYEsPPLx
