A Fox News political commentator experienced a medical emergency Thursday night, collapsing on air during a live broadcast that left viewers stunned and prompted criticism of the host’s response.
Camryn Kinsey, a former Trump administration official, was in the middle of a segment on Fox News @ Night when she began struggling to complete her thoughts while discussing ideological differences between the current president and former President Joe Biden.
“Ideology is where… It’s not about uh,” Kinsey stammered before her eyes rolled back in her head and she fell sideways, disappearing from the camera frame.
The incident occurred while Kinsey was speaking with host Jonathan Hunt, whose reaction immediately drew backlash from viewers online.
Hunt appeared visibly shocked by the sudden collapse, momentarily rising from his seat as a crew member rushed to Kinsey’s aid off-camera.
“Oh! Oh my goodness,” Hunt exclaimed, before attempting to continue the broadcast.
“So we’re just gonna get some help for Camryn…um.. lemme come back to Lydia while we get some help for Camryn here.”
The host then decided to cut to commercial break, stumbling over his words as the situation unfolded.
“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.”
When the program returned from the commercial break, Hunt informed viewers that Kinsey was “alright and being attended to by paramedics.”
As of early Friday morning, the exact cause of Kinsey’s fainting spell remained unclear, though she had appeared to be in normal health earlier in the day when she posted on social media about the new pope.
Viewers quickly took to social media platform X to express both concern for Kinsey and criticism of Hunt’s handling of the situation.
“Camryn Kinsey at Fox News just passed out live on TV. They said she was moving and paramedics were attending,” wrote one user, adding, “She’s a class act. Hope she’s OK.”
The Daily Mail highlighted that another viewer questioned Hunt’s priorities during the emergency: “More importantly, why the f**k wasn’t Jonathan Hunt’s first reaction to check on her, rather than continue the segment?”
Jeff Rainforth, identified as a Gateway Pundit guest writer, echoed this sentiment, posting, “Your first instinct should be to run to a person in this situation. Wtf is wrong with Hunt???”
Kinsey currently works as a political commentator and runs Titan Media Strategies, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Her previous experience includes serving as a White House correspondent for One America News Network.
At just 20 years old, Kinsey was appointed to serve as an “external-relations director” under President Trump’s administration, the Daily Mail reported.
“Only in Trump’s America could I go from working in a gym to working in the White House, because that’s the American dream,” Kinsey had stated at the time of her appointment.
