Rep. Steve Scalise, R-LA, must “relearn” how to walk after a lunatic shot him at a Congressional baseball field in June.
At a CNN town hall Monday evening, Ryan said Scalise, a “very close friend”, was doing better and is currently in physical therapy.
“Steve got shot through the hip, he’s had about ten surgeries. He’s going to be able to walk. He’s going to recover but it was a pretty bad shot. We almost lost him that day,” Ryan said.
The House speaker added that while Scalise’s recovery is “going to be a while”, he’s doing a lot better.
“He’s going to walk—he’s just got to relearn how to do it,” Ryan said.
