Former Trump administration official and right-wing pundit Camryn Kinsey passed out while being interviewed in a segment on Fox News.
Host Jonathan Hunt was interviewing Kinsey for a segment discussing former President Joe Biden’s recent media appearances. In a clip that has spread on social media, Kinsey can be heard stumbling over her words before her eyes roll back as she falls off her chair.
“So this is about incompetence, it's not about ideology or uh, it's not about uh,” she said just before collapsing.
In a statement to The Independent, a Fox News spokesperson said: “After Fox News @ Night guest Camryn Kinsey fainted during a live on-air appearance last night in our Los Angeles bureau, paramedics were called and she was treated and cleared. We are happy to hear she is now feeling much better and wish her a speedy recovery.”
During the segment, a shocked Hunt nearly left his chair to come to her aid, but then remained seated as he scrambled to fill the airtime. “Oh! Oh my goodness,” he said.
“So we're just gonna get some help for Camryn...um.. lemme come back to Lydia while we get some help for Camryn here... Um, so.. uh, Lydia.. the...ah President... We're gonna actually, we're gonna go to a break right here. We'll be right back,” Hunt told his bewildered viewers.
When the show came back, Hunt said that Kinsey was conscious and was being treated by paramedics.
There were no indications that Kinsey was ill in the hours before her appearance as she posted about the new pope and reposted President Donald Trump’s TruthSocial message about the pontiff. Earlier this week, she posted videos showing her firing an assault rifle in the desert while celebrating the Second Amendment.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Kinsey now runs her own company, Titan Media Strategies. She was previously a correspondent for One America News before being appointed external relations director in the Trump administration.
