Footage of the event shows Bruesewitz toppling over the lectern as he lost consciousness, prompting an immediate response from several people in the audience who rushed to his aid. The dramatic incident left attendees visibly shaken as they witnessed the unexpected fall, which also brought down the lectern he was speaking from. According to the report in The New York Post, event organizers moved swiftly to ensure Bruesewitz received proper attention.
Master of ceremonies Raheem Kassam, a former aide to British conservative figure Nigel Farage, quickly reassured the audience about Bruesewitz’s condition. Addressing the crowd shortly after the fall, Kassam shared that Bruesewitz was recuperating backstage and even managed to maintain his characteristic humor. “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. As quoted by the New York Post, Kassam added, “I told Alex he used gravity like I’ve seen nobody use gravity before in their lives. But he’s recovering, so give him a big cheer so he’ll hear you.”
President-elect Donald Trump also made a phone call during the event, expressing his support for Bruesewitz and praising his resilience. “I know that Alex is going to be fine because he’s a tough son of a gun,” Trump remarked, according to the New York Post. “There’s no doubt about that. So I want to say hello to Alex, because he’s a very special guy.”
Bruesewitz, the CEO of X Strategies LLC, is a staunch Trump supporter and an advocate of the America First movement. His organization is dedicated to electing candidates aligned with the MAGA vision. “Bruesewitz has been the driving force behind the efforts to defeat Republicans who fight against Trump and the MAGA movement and works to replace them with Republicans who fight for values we hold dear,” reads an excerpt from the X Strategies website, as cited by the New York Post.
While the cause of Bruesewitz’s sudden collapse remains unclear, the New York Post noted that X Strategies LLC has not yet issued a statement regarding the incident. His fainting spell has drawn attention to the high-stakes environment surrounding political advocacy and campaign events, with many expressing relief that he appears to be recovering well.
Bruesewitz’s quick recovery and humor in the aftermath have reassured his colleagues and supporters, as noted in the New York Post’s detailed account of the evening.
