GE CEO Collapses During Vice President Biden’s Speech (VIDEO)

Vice President Joe Biden is known for his loose lips, but who knew they had the ability to knock people out. Kidding. However, one has to imagine this was not the response he was going for.

At the end of a speech given earlier today by Biden to a GE plant in Kentucky — according to local news the temperature is “sweltering” — Jim Campbell, CEO of GE Appliances and Lighting, fainted and tumbled off a three-feet high platform. And he really tumbled.

Biden was pretty quick to react, as were a number of people in the audience. According to reports Campbell was taken to a hospital for evaluation and will be released soon. In the meantime he will have at least a few minutes of Internet fame. Watch below.
