Camryn Kinsey is on the mend after fainting on Fox News @ Night on Thursday (May 8).
The political commentator, who previously served as a White House official under President Donald Trump, was in the midst of an on-air segment with Fox News’ Jonathan Hunt discussing former President Joe Biden‘s remarks about his former Vice President Kamala Harris 2024 presidential election loss on The View that morning when catastrophe hit.
As the screen read “Biden blames Harris loss on sexism,” Kinsey claimed that the Democrats “have to rewrite history because they had a failed campaign,” adding that her defeat was really “about incompetency,” as she gradually struggled to find her next words and fell out of her chair and onto the floor, per a screen recording shared by TMZ.
Stunned, Hunt replied, “Oh my goodness.”
He attempted to proceed with the segment as they got “some help for Camryn.”
Per Deadline, Hunt informed viewers that Kinsey was “up and moving” once the show returned, noting that they had “paramedics checking her” and that they would keep viewers “updated.”
According to the outlet, a network spokesperson shared the following statement: “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.”
Kinsey has since addressed the matter on X on Friday afternoon, apologizing for the “scare last night.”
“I want to start by thanking the incredible Fox News team and the EMTs who responded with such speed and care,” she wrote. “It was an unexpected and frightening moment, but thanks to their professionalism and kindness, I’m doing well.”
She also thanked “everyone who has called, texted, prayed, or checked in,” noting that their “support has meant the world.”
“I’m taking it slow, staying hydrated, letting my body rest, and thanking the Lord that everything is okay,” she continued. “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!”
Biden told The View on Thursday that he “wasn’t surprised” that Harris lost to Trump, clarifying that this was “not because I didn’t think the Vice President was the most qualified person to be president.”
“But I wasn’t surprised because they went the sexist route the whole route,” he said of Trump’s campaign. “This is a woman, she’s this, she’s that. Really, I’ve never seen quite as successful and consistent a campaign undercutting the notion that a woman couldn’t lead the country — and a woman of mixed race.”
Kinsey isn’t the only right wing operative to take an untimely fall this week. On Tuesday, Republican Florida state senator Lleana Garcia appeared to pass out while delivering remarks on camera during a news conference with Governor Ron DeSantis.
