CNN anchor Poppy Harlow passed out during a live TV segment while discussing the Obama administration’s handling of ISIS.
During Monday’s CNN Newsroom, Harlow’s speech began to slur and eventually became nonsensical, forcing the network to cut to commercial.
Prior to passing out, Harlow was discussing a new CNN/ORC Poll that shows that 74 percent of Americans are not satisfied with how the war on terrorism is going.
After the commercial, a pre-taped segment with Brian Stelter was shown. Harlow came back on the air later and said, “For all of you on Twitter who are asking if I’m OK, thank you so much. I got a little hot, and I passed out for a moment. I am fine. We’re going to take a quick break. We’ll be right back.”
Thank you all for your concern and messages! I am ok! Passed out briefly and am with the doctor now. So thankful to our amazing CNN team.
