Fox News Pundit Has Medical Scare On Live TV
Kinsey, a former staffer for President Donald Trump, was discussing former PresidentJoe Biden's appearance on 'The View' earlier in the day.
Spoiler alert: She wasn't impressed, telling 'Fox News @ Night' host Jonathan Hunt that Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris 'had a failed presidency and campaign.'
As Kinsey was criticizing the Democratic administration's approach to immigration, her speech slurred slightly and she seemed stuck for a second before she suddenly fell off her chair onto the studio floor.
Hunt was clearly rattled and seemed at a loss for what to do.
'Oh! Oh my goodness,' he said while crew members on set tried to help Kinsey.
For a second, Hunt tried to keep the show going by addressing another panelist before he apparently got a message in his earpiece from a producer.
'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,' Hunt said.
Here's a clip of the segment.

After the incident, Fox News issued a statement to the media:
'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 also commented about the incident on social media on Friday afternoon, telling her followers, 'Sorry for the scare last night.'
After thanking the 'incredible Fox News team and the EMTs who responded with speed and care,' Kinsey said she was doing well despite the 'unexpected and frightening moment.'
She added: 'I'm taking it slow, staying hydrated, letting my body rest, and thanking the Lord that everything is okay.'
'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!'
Wow, sorry 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. It was an unexpected and frightening moment, but thanks to their professionalism and kindness, I'm doing well.To everyone who has…

Of course, people on both sides of the aisle attempted to use the incident to make political points about the U.S. health care system.
This is MAGA health care. Someone literally faints and falls in front of Fox News host Jonathan Hunt. He does NOTHING and keeps reporting. I've never seen anything like it. https://t.co/qzQ5Zb7Lju

Others criticized Hunt for seeming to focus on the show rather than his colleague.

I hope that Camryn Kinsey is ok, she fainted on live TV. But here is another problem, this situation shows what is wrong with America.The other presenter didn't even get up to help her, camera was rolling, it's all about the show. America has lost its empathy completely and… pic.twitter.com/ojkE08zv6r

Curtis Sliwa's quality-of-life crackdown makes sense. But he still won't be the next mayor of New York City
Will Curtis Sliwa have any regrets if he wakes up on November 5 and Zohran Mamdani is the new mayor of New York — knowing he could have stepped aside and cleared the crowded campaign field that many fear will split the vote? 'Nope,' the Republican candidate told me. So he's not willing to sacrifice his candidacy to save the city he loves from socialism? Advertisement 'That's based on the idea that everyone is going to go over and vote Cuomo. Ain't happening. They hate Cuomo. I'm in the streets every day. All I hear is 'slapping fannies and killing grannies.' He's never apologized,' Sliwa said of Andrew Cuomo's Covid and #MeToo scandals. 8 Curtis Sliwa regularly campaigns in the subways he's patrolled as a Guardian Angel for decades. Debra L Rothenberg/Shutterstock Meanwhile, a new AARP poll shows Mamdani's support at 42% among registered voters; Cuomo is at 23%, fellow independent Adams is at 9%, and Sliwa claims 16%. It would stand to reason the three need to become one to beat the Democratic socialist. Advertisement But Sliwa says it isn't happening. 'Nobody is getting out. Cuomo isn't, [Eric] Adams isn't. Every day there's a discussion about dropping out, that's a good day for Mamdani,' Sliwa said. I met with the 71-year-old at his Midtown campaign headquarters. While he's been an NYC tabloid figure since the late 1970s, when he launched the civilian crime-fighting group the Guardian Angels, he's lately been almost unrecognizable — taking off his signature red beret in meetings to look more like a serious politician. 8 Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist, is leading the crowded field in the mayoral race. James Keivom Advertisement The thing is, I love everything Sliwa has to say, especially about quality-of-life crackdowns. He wants to cut taxes, ditch congestion pricing and tackle the costly epidemic of fare evasion. 'I laugh when Mamdani says 'free bus fare' and everyone is having a heart attack. I said, 'Hold on, people aren't paying in the first place. Why don't we just enforce the fare?'' Sliwa said. 'Adams didn't do it. Cuomo didn't do it. We need a no-tolerance policy.' 8 Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an independent, is not performing well in polls. REUTERS Advertisement Can I get an amen? Like Mamdani, Sliwa speaks about affordability, especially for younger New Yorkers who cannot 'afford the American dream anymore. They're in their 30s and still living in a dormitory' — I think he means they have a lot of roommates — 'yet they have a professional career and make good money.' Unlike the photogenic Mamdani, the Republican is not offering a buffet of cockamamie socialist policy 'solutions.' But in this crowded field, I don't think Sliwa has a shot at taking down Mamdani and his dangerous DSA ideology. He wholeheartedly disagrees. 'I have a very good shot.' 8 Curtis Sliwa regularly campaigns on the subway, calling it the 'best focus group of all. All it costs you is a swipe.' Debra L Rothenberg/Shutterstock The last time Sliwa ran for mayor, in 2021, the city was lumbering through the Covid cloud. He lost to Eric Adams and earned only 27.8% of the vote. 'I feel I can start with about 28%,' Sliwa said, 'and if I can get up to 32, 33, 34%, I'll be the next mayor of New York City.' Advertisement This time around, his campaign is pushing early voting, trying to court Millennials and Gen Z-ers who aren't drunk on Mamdani's 'everything is free' socialist brew — and reaching out to Muslim voters. Mamdani is far, far more progressive than most Muslims in the city. But Sliwa believes many conservative Muslims are turned off by cultural attacks from some politicians on the right, like Marjorie Taylor Greene. Last month, the representative from Georgia shared a meme of the Statue of Liberty covered in a burka. Because of insults like that, 'Some feel compelled to support Mamdani,' said Sliwa. 8 Curtis Sliwa has been a tabloid staple since the late 1970s, when he started the Guardian Angels. Bettmann Archive Advertisement Still — 'All the halal and coffee wagons, Uber drivers are all capitalists. I'm working on them to vote for me.' Sliwa blames Adams and his cronyism scandals for the rise of Mamdani. As for Cuomo, 'He told a group in the Hamptons that he's moving to Florida if he loses. He's waving a white flag,' alleged the Canarsie native. Despite reports, Sliwa said President Trump hasn't offered him a job in Washington to get him out of the race — nor has Trump called the Republican candidate to offer support. 8 Curtis Sliwa has started removing his signature red beret during some campaign meetings. James Messerschmidt for NY Post Advertisement Sliwa is non-plussed. 'I believe the president has far more serious issues to deal with, like peace in Ukraine and, if he can — and he alone can — resolving the Gaza situation.' As we wrap up our interview, Sliwa puts on his hat and we venture down Sixth Avenue. The red beret is like a beacon, attracting a Midtown crowd. One man taps him for a selfie. A group of blue-collar workers abandon their spot in a lunch-truck line to shake his hand and wish him luck. A smartly dressed woman in her 50s flags him down. A black man calls out in heavily-accented English from behind the wheel of a black SUV: 'Curtis, I've always wanted to meet you!' Advertisement 8 Curtis Sliwa said New York voters haven't forgiven Andrew Cuomo and that he's never apologized for his personal and professional scandals. Matthew McDermott 8 Curtis Sliwa and his wife Nancy are passionate about cats and animal rights. Matthew McDermott A union plumber who grew up in Staten Island jumped off a bench to offer his support. He and his colleagues said they would vote for Sliwa … but they all moved out to the 'burbs during Covid because the city was too dirty, too crime-ridden and too expensive. It's a familiar refrain. Sliwa wants to save the city — are there enough voters left who want to as well?
