VIDEO: Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton faints during state of the State Address

Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton on Monday fainted during his State of the State address. 

FOX NEWS reports that the 69-year-old Democrat struck his head on a lectern Monday night after stumbling over his words and collapsing roughly 40 minutes into the annual address. He appeared conscious as he was helped into a back room within several minutes, and later walked out of the Capitol on his own.
