Former Trump administration official and conservative media commentator Camryn Kinsey fainted during a live Fox News broadcast on Thursday, prompting a brief on-air scramble as host Jonathan Hunt halted the segment for medical assistance.
Kinsey, who was being interviewed on President Joe Biden’s recent media appearances, began to stumble over her words moments before her eyes rolled back and she collapsed out of frame.
“So this is about incompetence, it's not about ideology or uh, it's not about uh—” Kinsey said, before falling backward.

A visibly startled Hunt reacted with concern but remained seated. “Oh! Oh my goodness,” he said on air.
“We’re just gonna get some help for Camryn… um… let me come back to Lydia while we get some help… actually, we’re gonna go to a break right here. We’ll be right back.”
When the show returned from the commercial break, Hunt confirmed that Kinsey was conscious and receiving attention from emergency responders.
The incident quickly went viral on social media, with clips of the collapse circulating widely. There had been no prior indication of illness.
Hours earlier, Kinsey had posted about the new pope and shared a message from former President Donald Trump on her X (formerly Twitter) page.

She also recently uploaded footage of herself firing an assault rifle in the desert, praising the Second Amendment.
Kinsey, who now heads Titan Media Strategies according to her LinkedIn, was previously a correspondent for One America News and served as the director of external relations during the Trump administration.
