An advisor of President-elect Trump Campaigner Alex Bruesewitz fainted and collapsed while speaking on stage during a New York Young Republican Club gala Sunday night.
Bruesewitz, 27, was introducing incoming senior White House aide Dan Scavino inside a local in Manhattan when he started stumbling over his words and passed out, a video is showing on social media.
Several people quickly rushed to his aid after his collapse. It was not immediately clear what caused him to pass out.
Master of Ceremonies Raheem Kassam, also a former aide to British Conservative politician Nigel Farage, later assured the audience that Bruesewitz was doing well backstage and even asked if he “looked great” when he passed out .

“I talked to our friend Alex Bruesewitz and you know what he said to me? He said, ‘At least I looked cool?’ I said Alex, you used gravity like I’ve never seen anyone use gravity before in their lives,” Kassam said. “But he’s recovering back there, so give him a big cheer to hear you.”
Trump also said after the collapse that he believes Bruesewitz will be fine, according to the New York Post.
“I know Alex is going to be fine because he’s a tough son of a gun,” Trump said. “There’s no doubt about it. So I want to say hello to Alex, because he’s a very special boy.”
