Sen. Bernie Sanders cut his head on a glass shower door on Friday morning and received seven stitches, his campaign announced.
But the 2020 candidate was given a "clean bill of health" and will attend all of his previously scheduled campaign events over the next couple days.
Arianna Jones, a Sanders spokeswoman, said "out of precaution, he went to a walk-in clinic" to have the cut checked out.
"The senator has proceeded with all of his scheduled events — joining a group of approximately 20 local clergy for breakfast this morning — and looks forward to joining a roundtable with South Carolinians this afternoon to discuss how we can provide high quality affordable health care for all," she added.
Sanders cut his head on the edge of the shower door, his campaign said, but did not fall.
The 77-year-old Sanders, who has traveled to several states since announcing his second presidential bid last month, held a rally in South Carolina yesterday. He is planning to headline another rally in Nevada tomorrow.

Oooh, Boinie the commie hurt his widdle head.
Shower safety should be a constitutional right for everyone. We need a federal Department of Bathroom Fixtures and Shower Safety with inspection police nationally and subsidies for the poor.

No. He bumped his head getting out of the shower. Given his age, that resulted in a wound requiring seven stitches.
He didn't "cut" shit.

It took stitches to close the wound so it sounds like a cut to me, but then who indeed gives a shit except some senile old nitpickers?

No, his hearing is going bad.
He thought his wife said " stand up "
Really, she said " shut up "
So, she popped him.
LOL

He always looks neat, collected, coherent, but then so do all the other patients appear to each other in the dementia clinic.

My guess is he had a shower with sliding glass doors and hit his head on the upper track. I've done that.
