Fox guest who fainted on-air shares update
Political commentator Camryn Kinsey has provided an update after her fainting spell on Fox News Thursday night. Kinsey - who had been Fox News @ Night when she suffered the scare - said she is now 'doing well' in a post to X. 'Wow, sorry for the scare last night,' the former Donald Trump staffer began, before thanking those at Fox and the EMTs who rushed to her aide.
'[They all] responded with such speed and care,' the 24-year-old internet personality said. Kinsey called the still-unexplained episode 'unexpected and frightening', while also thanking those who have shown her 'professionalism and kindness'. ' To everyone who has called, texted, prayed, or checked in, thank you from the bottom of my heart,' she wrote, adding, '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,' Kinsey continued, before cutting the tension with a joke. '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!' Hours before, Kinsey had been speaking on the ideological differences between the current president and Joe Biden when she suddenly started stumbling over her words.
'Ideology is where... It's not about uh,' she said, starting to show clear signs of distress. Within seconds, she was on the floor - leaving host Jonathan Hunt stunned. 'Oh! Oh my goodness,' he said, seen rushing out of his seat as a crew member rushed also rushed to Kinsey's aide. He then turned to the camera to address the audience - before quickly cutting to commercial. Amid the chaos, the scary scene unfolded just off-camera.
When the program returned, Kinsey was gone - at this point being treated by paramedics. A Fox News spokesperson would not specify whether she was brought to a hospital, but did say that after Kinsey fainted, paramedics were called to the LA studio where Fox News @ Night films before she was 'treated and cleared'. 'We are happy to hear she is now feeling much better and wish her a speedy recovery,' the rep said in a statement. It remains unclear what may have caused Kinsey to suddenly faint.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Kinsey is a political commentator who runs Titan Media Strategies. She was also a former White House correspondent for One America News Network. She is from Kentucky, and previously dated well-known MAGA influencer Alex Bruesewitz, who collapsed on stage during an appearance at a Republican event in New York City. 'I'm forgetting my words,' he said on stage at the 112th New York Young Republicans Club Gala in December, before freezing for a moment and falling to the side.
The crowd responded with gasps as others rushed to his aide. The incident was dismissed at the time as 'a brief fainting spell.' 'I know that Alex is going to be fine because he's a tough son of a gun,' Kinsey's old boss, Trump, said at the time, labeling Bruesewitz 'a very special guy.' He has had no health scares since, and Kinney has since pinned her explanatory post to the top of her profile. There, she has more than 224,000 followers. She was posting about the new pope being elected just hours before her spell. DailyMail.com has reached out to Fox News for more information.

Musk sends Republicans into chaos as he shreds Trump's ‘big beautiful bill' — ‘He doesn't get to vote'
Senate Republicans were in their luncheon as they begin the process to take up President Donald Trump's ' One Big, Beautiful Bill ' when Elon Musk blasted the legislation as an ' outrageous, pork-filled, disgusting abomination.' version of the massive domestic legislation bill that includes extending the 2017 tax cuts Trump signed, beefed up spending at the U.S.-Mexico border and oil drilling as well as massive changes to the social safety net in the United States. But just before Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the rest Republican leadership were about to begin their press conference, Musk, the just-departed head of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, raged against the bill on X. 'I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore,' he posted. 'This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.' Some Republicans sought to ignore it. Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa — who recently came under criticism for dismissing constituents concerned over Medicaid cuts at a local town hall with her response, ' Well, we're all going to die ' — brushed off a question from The Independent as she exited the Capitol and got into her car. Sen. Rick Scott said he had not read the Musk tweet, a common refrain from politicians not wishing to discuss a hot topic. When The Independent offered to show it to him, he brushed it off. 'I want to get the tax cuts permanent, the border money, the military, but we've got to get spending under control,' Scott, an ally of Trump, told The Independent. 'So I'm going to continue to work to bring down the deficit, to hopefully balance the budget the next three years.' Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin has in the past called for steeper cuts in the bill and praised Musk's comments, saying it 'bolsters' the points he made. "The only way I know how to do this is lay out the facts and figures and win the argument," Johnson told The Independent. Others, such as Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Katie Britt of Alabama, both members of the Senate Appropriations Committee, told The Independent they had not seen the tweet. Alabama's other Republican senator — Tommy Tuberville, a staunch ally of Trump — brushed off Musk's criticism. 'I ain't got any thoughts on that,' Tuberville said of the Musk posting. 'We got a lot of work to do. He doesn't get to vote.' House Speaker Mike Johnson, who spent weeks corralling various factions within the House GOP conference before he passed it in the wee hours of the morning last month before the House broke for recess, pushed back on Musk's criticism. 'It's very disappointing,' Johnson told reporters. 'With all due respect, my friend Elon is terribly wrong about the One Big, Beautiful Bill.' Other Republican senators made jokes about Musk's remarks. 'Does that mean he likes it?' Sen. Bernie Moreno of Ohio told The Independent. 'I think he's probably buying into the CBO scoring model, but look, ultimately, we haven't even gotten the bill yet right so we're gonna make it better.' The Congressional Budget Office, the nonpartisan body in Congress that scores how much legislation costs, estimated that extending the tax cuts in the bill would raise the debt by $3.8 trillion. But Republicans have pushed back on the estimate. Republicans have only 53 Senate seats, which is below the 60-seat threshold needed to overcome a filibuster. As a result, they hope to pass the bill through a process reconciliation, which allows them to pass legislation with a simple majority as long it relates to the budget. Musk recently exited the Trump administration after a months-long tenure at DOGE, where he slashed federal spending at numerous government agencies, including the US Agency for International Development. Other Republicans said they would work to improve the bill. 'He's certainly entitled his opinion,' Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, who faces a tough primary challenge in Texas. 'And we're trying to make the bill better.' The bill is not the first time that Musk has wielded his significant following on X, the site then-known as Twitter that he purchased in 2022, to intervene in congressional affairs. In late 2024, he killed a bipartisan spending deal to keep the government open and said that the government should remain closed until Trump's swearing in. Musk pledged he would challenge any Republicans who voted for the bill. 'In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people,' he said. Even Republicans who criticized the bill seemed to balk at Musk's intervention. When Musk tweeted 'Congress is making America bankrupt,' Paul tweeted 'Some of us are trying to stop that.' But when The Independent asked if Paul had seen Musk's first tweet, he said 'I haven't seen it' as he exited and got into an elevator.

Moderna agrees to true placebo-controlled trial of new COVID vaccine, Kennedy says
WASHINGTON, June 3 (Reuters) - U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Tuesday that Moderna has agreed to a true placebo-controlled trial of its new COVID-19 vaccine. While noting that he was aware of concerns about the Food and Drug Administration's limited approval of the new mRNA vaccine for high-risk populations, Kennedy assured the agency will monitor and collect data throughout the trial for every adverse outcome.
