Political commentator Camryn Kinsey worried Fox News viewers after she fainted live on air and sent the network into a commercial break.
During a segment on Fox News @ Night on Thursday, May 8, Kinsey was discussing former President Joe Biden’s recent comments on Kamala Harris’ loss in the 2024 presidential election, when she appeared to lose consciousness and slip from her chair.
“This is about incompetency, it’s not about uh, uh, ideology,” she said moments before pausing and falling to the ground.
“Oh my goodness,” host Jonathan Hunt said, clearly flustered. “We’re just going to get some help here for Camryn.”
Crew members rushed to her aid as Hunt attempted to toss back to another commentator. He then decided to instead take the show to commercial.
When the show returned from commercial, Hunt reassured viewers that Kinsey had regained consciousness.
“Camryn is up and moving,” he updated. “We have paramedics checking her. We will keep you updated. We wish her all the best.”
