On Sunday night, Bruesewitz, 27, fainted mid-speech after he began noticeably “slurring” his words.

“I’m forgetting my words,” he said, before toppling forward over the lectern.

Raheem Kassam, a former senior aide to British politician Nigel Farage, appeared on stage later to ease attendees’ nerves.

“I talked to our friend Alex Bruesewitz and you know what he said to me? He goes, ‘Did I at least look cool?’” Kassam said.

“I said, ‘Alex, you used gravity like I’ve seen nobody use gravity before in their lives,’” he joked. “But he’s recuperating back there, so give him a big cheer so he’ll hear you.”

On Monday, Bruesewitz’s lawyer, Joseph D. McBride, posted on X, explaining that Bruesewitz was still admitted to the hospital and that he was going through a series of tests.

“He is still admitted to a hospital in New York, where he has undergone a series of tests. Please keep this young fighter in your thoughts and prayers,” McBride wrote.

Bruesewitz also reportedly fainted a second time after arriving to the hospital, according to two sources familiar with the incident who reached out to the press.
