In October 1912, while campaigning for the presidency in Milwaukee, Theodore Roosevelt was shot in the chest just before delivering a speech. The bullet, which passed through a folded copy of his speech and a metal eyeglass case, did not puncture his lung. Remarkably, Roosevelt chose to continue with his speech, addressing the audience for nearly 90 minutes. He famously declared, 'It takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose,' referring to his political movement. After completing his speech, he was taken to a hospital, where doctors found the bullet lodged in his chest, deciding against removal due to the risks involved. This incident not only showcased Roosevelt's physical resilience but also solidified his image as a determined leader, making it one of the most memorable moments in political history.
