MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jason Lewis has been rushed into emergency surgery for a severe internal hernia.
The Lewis campaign said in a statement Monday that the condition is life-threatening if not treated quickly. Campaign manager Tom Szymanski said in the statement that Lewis experienced severe abdominal pain early Monday morning and was taken to an emergency room. He said Lewis, prior to going into surgery, was in good spirits, optimistic and speculating about when he could resume campaigning.

lewisformn, did you have to call the bear police?
Did he die?
Best wishes Senator.
Gee I hope his surgeon doesn't get caught in traffic.
Science denying idiot needs science to save his life. Meh 🤷♂️
Oh look, terrorists in the comment section.
I hope he recovers to see himself lose the election.
Prayers!
People in comments are hateful leftist pricks. JasonLewis LewisForMN
Thoughts and... Na F*** him
The hate from the left, as shown in these comments, will cause Trump to be reelected and the Republicans to keep the Senate. One day, the left will learn to not be so cruel, hateful, and vile.
Will this take his vote away for Amy Covid Barret?
Y’all are weird
God bless
It is hernia. He will beat this. All those losers in the comments showing how sick they are in the head will be disappointed again. He come out strong.
May he receive the same care he has voted for and supported for the poorest of his constituents.
Wow, if only the rest of us had access to free immediate health care.
I don’t really care, do u?
Lmaooo
He’s fine. In and out of surgery and out in two days. I’m sure his team wanted to make it sound like a total life/death situation for sympathy votes since he’s going to lose MN.
So he is going through some things? Oh well.
He better hope he doesn't need an ICU bed
It’s nice he has Healthcare to be able to get emergency surgery & it be successful. Shame he wants to take Healthcare away from others. Actually he can 100% fck off!🖕🏼
Bye Felicia
If they pull his head out of his ass, he'll become a liberal.
This is great news! He’s a very bad person whose actively mad life worse for many Americans
Hope your good
Glad to hear surgery went well. I honestly wonder how carrying the Republican label and the weight of Trump’s failures hasn’t caused more of such issues among GOP candidates.
Damn...I hope he has Health Insurance because he's not in Congress yet. He doesn't qualify for that free, SOCIALIST HEALTHCARE that everyone in Congress gets.
All the best.
What's the hurry? Shouldn't he just pray it away?
Thoughts and prayers
Let's hope they take their time then.
Hatred has ways of making people rot from the inside.
Good thing he has tax-payer funded healthcare that he fights so hard to get rid of for us 'commoners.' 😏
So many stupid people on here
Wishing him a speedy recovery, and a loss at the polls.
COVID?
Take out the trash. ❤️
Best wishes for a quick recovery.
another POS politician that will never have to worry about health care.
Who? 🤨🤔
I wish I could show compassion here, but Jason doesn’t believe in it. I could honor his life’s work and wish he dies bankrupt and in agony. However I’m trying to be a better person so thoughts and prayers.
Its the liberals and antifa behind his hernia.
Wow, this is a rough crowd.
Please DNR!
Karma.
Hope you catch the fake virus from the fake pandemic while receiving fake treatment. MAGGOTS
OMG. Prayers up. No matter the party we should wish him well
People are saying those wounds are consistent with the kind of weight transfer undertaken while running a child pedophilia ring. May he enjoy a speedy recovery during which he doesn’t pick up COVID. Unless this is a cover story for COVID emergency.
Lol
Sorry, not sorry
hope he doesn't suffer long
I think they mean incarcerated hernia, but it is AP.
See! God don't like ugly. Hopefully that's 1 LESS vote for that damn nomination
I like us congressmen who aren’t in the hospital. Hopefully this effects his race for us congress. He’s not healthy enough to serve. He should resign.
Well, if he doesn't it make it out soon perhaps they won't stack Supreme Court on and thus force the Democratic Party to remake the court like has been done in the past, this could be yet another opportunity for the GOP not to completely destroy themselves.
Yo I have 2 hernias right now. I’m lifting weights and drinking milk. Life threatening? Sounds snowflakey to me
No special treatment. Make him get in line behind the suffering Covid patients on gurneys in hallways. My tax dollars shouldn't pay for him to jump to the front of the line because he lifted something incorrectly. And bc he's GOP, assume he's lying about his diagnosis.
Ascended testicles can do that to you
No feelings here.
Let’s go hernia!!
Got to be Obama or Hillarys fault
Drama queen for a hernia 🙄
Sucks when all that hate gets twisted upinside you.
I bet U he’s glad 2 have insurance & will now have PreExistingConditions. He’ll be subjected 2 same insurance discrimination he wants 2 give 2 Americans. sorrynotsorry
brought to u by the “i got mine screw u gop”
I am sure he will be voting from his deathbed on the SCOTUS vote to make sure ACA is destroyed. I do not feel bad for any GOP senator suffering right now, Karma is a bitch!
sounds like a preexisting condition. sorry. if u cant pay i guess u die. 🤷♂️
Think someone misheard inguinal as internal.
Deborahohio Who cares?
He should carry it to term. It's what God would want.
God bless him
I hope it turns out well for him.
Still not voting for him.
Considering that he believes sexual harassment is protected by freedom of speech and that he shouldn't tell someone to NOT own slaves, I hope his recovery is filled with pain and embarrassment.
jjv124 What a f*cking wussy
I hope he recovers well....I hope he loses the election, but get well.
So....does this mean no vote from him on Amy Coney Barrett?
I hope he is ok. Been through similar. Not fun.
jjv124 It’s such a relief he has medical insurance, whatever would he do without it, like millions of others in America
Ouch. That sounds painful AF. Good luck.
Prayers 🙏
Does this mean he won't be available for the required in-person vote on the unqualified SCOTUS nomination?
Sooooooo...could this possibly affect the Coney-Barrett confirmation today?
God is merciful
Thoughts and prayers.
Ugh. That sucks. Hope he's ok
I got too excited that he was a sitting member xD If this triggers you, just learn to enjoy dark humour.
Thoughts and prayers!
He will win the senate seat.
I like my Senate candidates who don't have their bowels in an uproar.
pog
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I went through the same emergency surgery a few months ago. 🙄
The campaign of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jason Lewis of Minnesota says his emergency surgery for a severe internal hernia was a success.
The campaign of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jason Lewis of Minnesota says his emergency surgery for a severe internal hernia was a success.
Would this be considered a pre-existing condition for his future medical care?
Incarcerated hernia most likely
Let nature take its course on these white supremacists.
Oh well hes GOP none of them have shown even the remote interest in saving lives of other Americans.
Strangulated Hernia. Hope they got it in time. This is why ALL Americans need healthcare
REPUBLICANS serve the PEOPLE and DEMOCRATS rule, over the PEOPLE. Vote: REPUBLICAN to Prosper and do what we want them to do. They work for us or we fire them and hire someone who can follow our demands, it's our country not Democrats.
Maybe they can give him an attitude adjustment while he is in the hospital.
🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Seems like he needs more fiber in his diet.
Prayers.
Prayers for him and his family.
They tried to tell him he can’t fit his head up that far - And definitely not that far up his own!?! So now here he is. ;)
With the kind of head wind and incredible weight of the bullshit and outright lies the Republican Party is trying to shove up our collective vents, it’s no wonder he busted a gut, it’s a giant load.
Hope he gets the care he needs thanks to socialized medicine!
signs everywhere
Sounds like a republican without intestinal fortitude
Thoughts and Prayers Jason Lewis. Ok then, I said what I’m supposed to now I’ll continue on with my day.✌🏻
Only private hospitals, private roads, private emergency transportation, and private insurance are suitable for Lewis
Good thing he's got superior healthcare, unlike the us who won't after November
He'll get the best treatment his socialized medicine can provide. While demanding that none of us get the same. What I'm saying is, maybe he deserves it.
I hope he gets well soon. I'm glad he has the health care he needs, and I hope he loses his election so he can't take away ours, and leave other Americans who are in a similar position to die.
I really don't care.
That’s what carrying trump’s balls around will get ya.
Remember we're not allowed to wish someone dies on Twitter. Even Republicans.

What an asshole 😂😂
That sucks
karma BIIIIAAAATTTTCHHHH
He has good healthcare, I’m sure he’ll be ok.
how the hell is a hernia an emergency surgery? Did he get caught with his hands in his pants with a 15 year old like his BFF RudyGiuliani
Pass the stimulus!!!!!!!
So... he was so full of shit it caused a hernia
Get well
So it wasn’t a stick that was up his ass. Huh.
Holy crap now that’s not good at all, I don’t care what side of the isle you are risk of death is never good in my book.
It's all that evil eating him up from the inside.
Hope he gets better, that sucks, I would have liked to see him lose fair and square on election night.
That ⭐socialist⭐ tax-payer funded healthcare comes in handy, doesn't it?
Jason Lewis: best of luck in full recovery; you will be exposed to the virus, it is in every breath you will take inside hospital; an education in just overwhelmed medical treatment right now; whereas your voters will watch you receive a quality of care they are forbidden;
Karma
Thank goodness for that healthcare- without it he may not be alive at all right now.
So sorry
Found the perfect healthcare team for him.
The responses to this are disgusting and downright evil. Be better ghouls. Watch and learn - gee, I hope he’s ok. Thoughts and prayers for him and his family.
Guess he won't be there for the vote! SCOTUS
Will the surgeon be wearing a mask? I hear they do nothing to stop infection. 🤔
thoughts and prayers to the hernia
Wonder if he'll think his cure is worse than his disease....
Bye
I almost died from one of those, not good and extremely painful.
Thoughts....
Awesome ,Come on Karma
I hope he makes it through. 🙏
RGB, is that you?
I'm saddened & embarrassed by these comments from my fellow citizens. 😔 Don't know Jason Lewis, but I wish him a speedy recovery. Must've been scary for him & his family to hear such devastating news from the doctors.
Never hear of an external hernia. If they meant a strangulated inguinal hernia...
I don't wish death on him but he's a bigoted, horrible, Rush Limbughesque individual
He is lucky to have health insurance to pay for his care isn’t he?
Wish him well. Good thing he’s not in Utah. They prob wouldn’t have a bed for him, due to that thing called “covid” which he said was impeding his civil rights in MN.
Now do PeteStauber
Hoping they are able to treat quickly and he heals safely! Extra scary knowing he was exposed to Covid as well. Perhaps he'll have an epiphany?
No sympathy...
Senate Republicans sending their thoughts and prayers while prepping to vote for another illegitimate Supreme Court Justice, not bothering to vote for another CARES Act and side stepping the s of Americans lost to covid19 in order to placate their man-child leader and donors
And nothing of value was lost
Regeneron is the answer. If he doesn't get tested perhaps he really doesn't have a hernia....certainly not from any heavy lifting for the people.
Prayers for Jason Lewis.
Hope this encounter with the American medical system will inform his political ideas in a positive way.
praying for a speedy recovery
That sounds like a pre-existing condition! Better get that taken care of before ACA is cut!
I'd never vote for the man but I hope he fully recovers to see his defeat on Nov 3rd. I don’t want to see him die before election in MN otherwise it will drag the election
abrhinehart is this the guy you like?
🙏❤️
Hope he doesn’t make it.
The laptop .... report the laptop ... we’ve seen some videos and read some emails. We know you have too. Report it.
Hoping he recovers quickly.
Hopefully he's not trusting any of them 'doctors'. Thoughts and prayers should be enough.
Lol
I don't have any sympathy for republicans. they'll watch us all die before their cash flow is interrupted 🤷🏾♂️
Civic?
Wish him well.
☠️ GOP traitors ☠️ who cares
Prayers up.
I wonder how long surgery goes for this. Do you think he wants his surgeon and everyone else in the room to wear a mask ... maybe two ... the whole time? I don’t know, maybe they should loudly complain about how a mask to protect them and him is taking away their freedoms.
Oh well
Hope all these COVID19 cases don’t impede this Hypocrites care! GOPSuperSpreaders GOPCorruptionOverCountry
Thoughts & Prayers
Liberals and Democrats showing their hatred and despicable inhumanity in these comments.
Maybe there is a God
He is going to get fully socialized healthcare while he’s working with the Republican party to take away healthcare from millions of americans. Absolutely no shame.
Cool
“Thoughts and prayers”
And if you're not a important republican or Democrat and get a life threatening hernia, we're fucking dead in our homes because to many of have NO insurance. Glad he was RUSHED though.
If you want to know how loving and kind Democrats are, just read through the comments.
Thoughts and prayers hernia surgery very serious
Another example of someone having excellent, lifesaving health care. It’s some thing that most Americans don’t have right now.
Will Jason Lewis’s Doctors and nurses be required to wear masks?
🙏
I took one look at the kind of garbage he posts constantly and you know what? I don't care.
Probably got a hernia from carrying round the guilt of running for the GOP. Corruption has consequences
Thoughts and prayers, just not the thoughts and prayers you might think.
masg66 Since Republicans don’t seem to care if people wear masks I wonder if his surgical team will.
Who did he have to blow to get admitted. I saw the CNN report about woman with a massive heart attack and no hospital could take her because they didn't have room due to Covid
Thoughts and prayers 🙄
how 2020 is this aye
Have republicans replaced him already? You know how they do.
I hope he recovers soon.
Ich Bin Ein internal hernia
fake news. sever internal hernia has a 99.8% survival rate.
👀
No prayers, a lot of thoughts.
Hope everything works out. Never want to hear someone struggling.
While I totally detest him and what he stands for, I wish him well and that he has a full recovery. I also hope he manages to avoid getting Covid Covid Covid while he is in there.
I understand why people are angered by the smart-*ssed Twitterverse takes on this sad story. But I'd be lying if said I didn't understand them.
🙏🏽❤️
Painful and I am sorry he is going through this. I also sincerely hope he loses and MN stays Senate proud.
Sorry quick recovery
Sending healing prayers to Mr. Lewis.
Lol. I wish I could say something nice... but I don’t.
I feel like he should’ve been rushed to a church instead.
That sounds very painful
I'm sure Trump is very concerned about him, as he is all of us right now.
Thoughts and prayers
Man thats going to be a kick in the nuts for his campaign.
Must be nice to have Healthcare
Shrugs
Many well wishes, Sir......
This will be completely civil and free of conspiracy
This guy wants you to lose healthcare coverage and not be able to insure pre existing conditions.
Karma is a bitch. Jason has called woman sluts for years. Now he can see how feels to deliver twins.
Praying for the families of the 225,000 Americans the trump administration killed
Oh that is a shame... He really is not a good person but I’m glad it’s not life threatening. Vote for Tina Smith!
Yep sure is life threatening. My mom had the same thing.. Hernia cut off her intestines and she became septic. Rushed her into surgery too, now she lives with a colostomy bag the rest of her life. Almost lost her. Prayers for healing.
Carrying around Trump's bullshit is hard on your body I guess.
Well...look at 2020
Hope he has good insurance and remembered to jump through the obligatory 50 hoops to make sure his procedure doesn't require a referral and the red tape of making sure his surgeon is not outside his provider network before going under the knife.
I like my Senators who don’t have to have emergency internal hernia surgery a week before elections.
Good luck getting a hospital bed with all those covid pandemic victims you mocked for the last several months, Jason.
Now he has a pre-existing condition. Ya think that will stop Trump from seeking the SCOTUS to revoke the ACA?
Best wishes for a quick recovery!
He can just take the advice of his republican overlord and “don’t let it dominate his life.”
Well at least science is there to save him. They'll listen when it's convenient to them personally
Hope he pulls through. These are the times that highlight the importance and right for every American to have access to healthcare.
Hahaha. There might be no room in the ICU because you ridiculed the virus. Hahahaha.
“Minnesota Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jason Lewis has been rushed into emergency surgery for a severe internal hernia. The Lewis campaign says the condition is life-threatening if not treated quickly.” Thoughts and Prayers to him. Vote blue!
Medicare 4 All.
Prayer sent
YAWN
Praying for his recovery.
thots n prayers
Hope he heals well and fast and doesn't catch anything in there. Also hope he gets pounded in the election.
Damn
Praying that the surgery goes well.
Eww. Hope dude gets better.
