She was trying to get her point across yes while being interrupted every 5 seconds. Is getting your point across not what being interviewed is about? It sounded incoherent because she was being talked over. Try being interviewed in front of millions live while the interviewer talks over the top of you and see how you do before judging.
Either way, as I said, piss poor interviewing. Wouldn't see it on any UK news channels. Maybe that's they way it is the the US.
And you're completely ignoring her incoherence before the commercial break, when she wasn't being prompted about how much time they had left.

So the interviewer, after seeing that the interviewee has a tendency to ramble, knowing they have very limited time for her to make her point, ensured she knew how much time she had left to wrap it up. It's not like she stumbled or stopped every time he gave her a time hack...didn't even appear that she even noticed it, tbh. So how could she have been "talked over" if her rambling wasn't in any way affected by what the interviewer said?

It may have been difficult to watch for us, but it didn't affect her telling her story in any way.

And you continue to overlook the fact that in time-critical situations (such as this one), hosts (more often than not) keep their guests apprised of how much time is left before they have to cut them off. I've seen it happen on CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, BBC, Sky, ITN, and heard it happen on the radio.

Would you have had the same response if it had been a network other than Fox? I'm willing to bet not.
