It was sudden: Former Trump administration official and conservative pundit Camryn Kinsey collapsed mid-interview during a live segment on Fox News—and network host Jonathan Hunt, though horrified at first, tried to continue the segment as if nothing happened.
Hunt was interviewing Kinsey for a segment on former President Joe Biden’s recent media appearances when the incident occurred.
In a clip that quickly circulated on social media, Kinsey begins to falter mid-sentence—“So this is about incompetence, it's not about ideology or...uh...it's not about...uh”—before her eyes roll back and she collapses off her chair.
There were no signs Kinsey was unwell ahead of her Fox News appearance—just hours earlier, she had posted about the new pope and reshared a Truth Social message from former President Donald Trump reacting to the news.
Hunt, visibly stunned, started to rise from his seat before hesitating and scrambling to fill the silence: “Oh! Oh my goodness.”
He added:
“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."
You can watch what happened in the video below.
Of course people wondered if she was okay—but many noted how weird it was that Hunt chose to continue the segment rather than check on Kinsey immediately.

While we don't know what happened to cause Kinsey to faint, a fainting episode can be triggered by several factors, including fatigue, dehydration, intense pain, anxiety, low blood pressure, low blood sugar, or more serious medical issues like a heart attack or stroke.
When the show returned from break, Hunt told viewers that Kinsey was “conscious” and receiving attention from paramedics.
A Fox News spokesperson later responded to the incident, noting that "paramedics were called and she [Kinsey] was treated and cleared. We are happy to hear she is now feeling much better and wish her a speedy recovery.”
