During a Fox News segment on May 8 political commentator Camryn Kinsley appeared to lose her train of thought before fainting and collapsing to the floor live on air.
While talking about Trump vs Biden and Harris, the right-wing TV pundit stuttered on her words, and fell straight off her chair with an audibly bang as she hit the floor.
Host Jonathan Hunt looked shook, and said, ‘Oh my goodness, we’re just going to get some help here for Camryn.’
Another member of the team rushed in to help, as Hunt tried to continue the coverage, saying: ‘Let me come back to Lydia while we get some help for Camryn here.’
Hunt then began to ask Lydia a question, before announcing: ‘Actually we’re going to go to a break right here. We’ll be right back.’
A FOX News rep told TMZ that paramedics were called and Kinsley was treated, cleared and is now feeling ‘much better’.
It is unclear what caused her to faint.
The Titan Media Strategies CEO has since taken to social media to reflect on the event.
‘Wow, sorry for the scare last night,’ the former Trump White House officialsaid. ‘I want to start by thanking the incredible Fox News team and the EMTs who responded with such speed and care.
‘It was an unexpected and frightening moment, but thanks to their professionalism and kindness, I’m doing well.
‘To everyone who has called, texted, prayed, or checked in, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support has meant the world.
‘I’m taking it slow, staying hydrated, letting my body rest, and thanking the Lord that everything is okay.
‘It may not have been how I planned to end the segment, but I’ll be back on your TV soon. Hopefully long enough to finally finish my point about Kamala!’
Viewers were shocked at the footage, but many also couldn’t understand why Hunt tried to carry on with the news with Kinsley sprawled across the floor next to him.
‘His response was unacceptable,’ said @FrederickLeath5, while @PawlowskiMario said: ‘I hope that Camryn Kinsey is ok, she fainted on live TV. But here is another problem, this situation shows what is wrong with America.
‘The other presenter didn’t even get up to help her, camera was rolling, it’s all about the show.’
Others defended him though, with commenter Ted Murphy saying: ‘The video gives us a glimpse of another person rushing to help her. Looks like he saw that. Probably had someone else in his ear telling him to keep going.’
