WASHINGTON (AP) — Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign says the Vermont senator has been treated at a walk-in clinic for a minor injury while campaigning in South Carolina.
Campaign spokesman Arianna Jones told reporters that Sanders cut his head on the edge of a glass shower door Friday and went to a walk-in clinic. She says the 77-year-old Sanders received a half-dozen stitches and was given a “clean bill of health.”
Jones says Sanders is continuing with all scheduled events, including a breakfast with local clergy and a roundtable on health care while in South Carolina. Sanders will travel to Nevada ahead of his first rally in the early-voting state since launching his presidential bid. The rally will be held Saturday.
That’s some Montgomery Burns level of frailty there. Not a good look for someone closer to 80 than 70.
Would be a pretty bad look for anyone who doesn’t also seem like they might have sustained an athletic injury. Which poor Sanders does not.

This is the kind of thing that you express warm sympathies and best wishes for. Not, you know, mass murder.
Disappointed in sharp edges missing the wrong Geezer this Ides of March.
Although the optics aren’t good for someone his age trying to project vigor, I have to feel his pain, as a certified klutz.
