Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren took an accidental tumble while on the Senate floor.
Moseying around atop the Senate chamber’s blue carpet floors Warren can be seen on video deep in thought.
She then halts and attempts to lean back on a desk at the front of the chamber.
Suddenly, it tilts over and sends the senator crashing onto the desk.
Lawmakers immediately run over to help the Massachusetts Democrat off the historic desk.
Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., were the first on the scene offering a helping hand to the 76-year-old lawmaker.
Warren’s office did not immediately respond to the Daily Mail’s request for comment.
The incident happened late on Wednesday evening as the Senate worked to get President Donald Trump’s nominees confirmed.

The video was first circulated by conservative Washington Reporter editor Matthew Foldi on Thursday afternoon.
‘Elizabeth Warren just ate s*** on the Senate floor,’ he wrote.
Soon many right-wing pundits began predictably piling on.
‘Senator down!,’ Eric Daugherty, a commentator wrote. ‘Senator Elizabeth Warren plummets to the floor during a Senate vote. She was trying to lean. It ended poorly.’
The Senate is in its final days of work before breaking for August recess.
The stumble happened late at night as GOP Senate Majority Leader John Thune pushed votes to confirm Trump appointees.
Late night votes are a sign that the White House’s pressure on the Senate to stay in D.C. and vote on administration roles has lawmakers working overtime.
On Thursday the Senate continued blazing ahead with nominations.
Republicans approved Cheryl Mason to be Inspector General, Department of Veterans Affairs.
The Senate also confirmed Gadyaces Serralta to be Director of the United States Marshals Service and Tyler Clarkson to be General Counsel of the Department of Agriculture.
