The unexpected tumble drew a mix of reactions from the crowd, ranging from concern to mild frustration. One attendee could even be heard shushing the group as the commotion briefly disrupted the solemn atmosphere.

Paul quickly checked on Von, asking if he was alright and jokingly claiming he had predicted the accident.

The culprit appeared to be the simple metal folding chairs provided for the event, though given the Paul brothers’ reputation for pranks, some in attendance may have wondered if there was more to the story.

Von, known for his quick wit, brushed off the incident with humor.

He quipped that his chair fell apart because it was "Kamala's chairs," referencing outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris.

The jab was a nod to his podcast This Past Weekend, where Trump appeared during the campaign, but Harris notably did not.

After the fall, Von joined Logan Paul and his brother Jake Paul in their row, where he cheerfully asked to see the footage of his fall.
