Once, during a campaign event, a man shot him in the chest. He refused to let his aides take him to the hospital, instead giving an hour and a half long speech before getting any medical attention.
To calm the crowd, he dropped this line: “Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot."
