The chairman of the House Judiciary committee had given remarks at an event about speed enforcement cameras in school zones when he slumped in his chair.
As people moved to assist him, Nadler put his hand to his head and appeared disoriented, then seemed to recover after a few minutes. He speaking and alert, telling people near him that he was OK.
The 71-year-old Democrat was given water and an orange as staff cleared reporters from the school gymnasium where the event took place.
An ambulance took Nadler to a hospital about 45 minutes later.
A few minutes after leaving the school in the ambulance, Nadler said in a tweet that he was fine.
“Appreciate everyone’s concern. Was very warm in the room this morning, was obviously dehydrated and felt a bit ill. Glad to receive fluids and am feeling much better. Thank you for your thoughts,” he wrote.
Nadler spokesman Daniel Schwarz also blamed dehydration.
“He was sitting down so did not faint or anything, just was a bit ill. He is responsive and receiving a check-up.”
Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat who recently announced he was running for president, was sitting next to Nadler and answering questions when Nadler slumped over.
This is what too many phony investigations does to a man, Give it up Jerry.

It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome. It’s usually just a mental disability but it appears to have affected him physically as well.
lose a few pounds and stop with this hot air and you will feel better
He needs to eat something. When he was fat this didn’t happen.
this “yeshiva boy” represents the worst of “our” people he hates on a ohev yisroel president and together with steve cohen, eliot engel, nita lowey, janet schnkowsky bring real anti Semitism out in REAL americans who love this president as he too is a real American unlike the 8 years of a foreign born muslim Manchurian.
I hope Nadler gets a refuah from liberalism. He should follow mark dice in you tube. He should also work desperately on teshuvah. Hopefully they will come together. One can’t be a liberal and a frum yid at same time.
I am sure we all wish him well.
Nadler will lose the next election to Lindsey Boylan a progressive democrat highly qualified and a good friend of Israel
hope and pray this filthy America hating TRAITOROUS swine drops dead BIMHAIRO BEYUMAINU
Recently, there was an article about former President Carter’s health, and there were numerous, nasty responses, which wished Carter ill; some tried to justify it, by stating that lashon hora does not apply to a gentile, and they were permitted to curse him. Yet, here is a case of a fellow Jew, whom a number of people on this site, have political disagreements with. It made no difference, as #2 and #19 , as well as their supporters, wished evil upon Nadler. This just goes to show everyone the hypocrisy which exists on this board. People who profess to be Torah observant and frum, are the biggest hypocrites, with their holier than thou attitudes.
