Laverne Cox Defends Past Relationship With ‘MAGA Republican' Cop After Intense Backlash
Laverne Cox is sharing more details about her former 'MAGA Republican voter' boyfriend just days after news of the relationship drew backlash from fans. The Emmy-winning actor, who is transgender, made the eyebrow-raising comment about her ex while promoting her forthcoming live show, 'Gurrl, How Did I Get Here?' set to take place in New York next week. Though Cox didn't identify the man by name, she described him in a short Instagram video as 'blond-haired, blue-eyed MAGA Republican voter who is a New York City police officer,' later boasting he was 21 years her junior and 'hot.' 'We were madly in love,' she said in the clip, posted Monday. 'I did not develop any of his politics. I still have my own.' Cox appears to have previously alluded to the relationship in interviews where she spoke about a breakup with a former partner who wasn't 'aligned with my values.' Still, it wasn't long before the 'Orange Is the New Black' and 'Inventing Anna' actor's Instagram post was flooded with negative responses from followers who called her out for being hypocritical. 'You are able to look past the fact that someone voted against your community and basically everything you represent…?' one person wrote. 'I don't get the punch line… nor does this entice me to want to go to a show to figure out how you justify this.' Added another, 'Sooooo the morals are dismissed when he's hot. Got it.' Cox attempted to clarify her comments in a followup video posted to Instagram Tuesday, noting she hadn't anticipated the criticism. 'I never adapted any of my ex's politics,' she explained in the roughly 50-minute clip. 'I always challenged him with love and empathy and tried to listen to his perspectives, often corrected him with facts, and I wanted to see if it possible to have a relationship with someone with different political beliefs in theory.' Though she warned against 'dehumanizing' those with different views, she went on to note, 'I think, with this current administration, lines certainly have to be drawn, because we're fighting for our lives in a different way than we were five years ago.' 'Everything Trump is doing, I'm against,' she said. Though Cox publicly backed former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, her latest comments about her ex coincide with a new interview in which she offered a less-than-complimentary take on Harris' campaign. 'The way you win an election is turning out the base,' she told Ts Madison on her 'Outlaws' podcast last week. 'Trump turned out his base. The white supremacists who hadn't voted for years, they got up and they got out and the voted. She needed to turn out the base, but she needed to do it with a message that resonated with people that made them feel like she understood what working people are going through.' Related...

Watch the red sculpture of Trump emerge from a NYC manhole
President Donald Trump appeared in New York City on July 23, or rather, a characterized version of him did. French artist James Colomina installed a life-size sculpture of the president, titled "Donald," in Manhattan on the morning of July 23. The artist told USA TODAY that he installed the sculpture around 7 a.m. local time, though it has since been removed. The bright red sculpture, made of resin, depicted Trump from the waist up, emerging from a manhole, also part of the sculpture. Wearing a suit and tie, the statue portrayed a serious-looking and pursed-lipped Trump looking upward at the skyscraper above him. Under the manhole cover lid, a small red rat peered outward. "I installed the sculpture in New York because this is where he built his image, his empire, his legend," Colomina told USA TODAY via email. "A city he tried to conquer with golden towers and brutal slogans. I wanted this image – a red body rising from the sewers – to disturb that landscape." The sculpture was created in about three weeks at his studio in France, Colomina said. He then disassembled and transported it to New York, and later reassembled the sculpture on site. Colomina posted a photo of the sculpture to his Instagram story on July 23, with the caption "Make America Grime Again," a reference to Trump's popular motto, "Make America Great Again." Neither the White House nor Trump immediately responded for comment about the sculpture when contacted by USA TODAY on July 23. Where was the sculpture located? The sculpture was located at the corner of East 42nd Street and 2nd Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, in front of The News Building, which is about a mile away from Trump Tower. It was removed by a maintenance worker for SL Green Realty Corp., the company that owns the skyscraper. "The sculpture is installed right across from the Chrysler Building, a symbol of power, elevation, and architectural pride," Colomina told USA TODAY. "I liked the idea of creating a stark contrast between this vertical monument and the grotesque figure emerging from the sewers." Who is James Colomina? Colomina is a street artist, known for his bright red, life-size sculptures, which have been installed in Tokyo, Barcelona, Paris, and many other cities. "The 'Colomina Red,' the artist's visual signature, embodies the anger, passion, and urgency of the issues he tackles," Colomina's artist biography on the Galeries Bartoux website states. "James Colomina favors a clandestine, spontaneous approach: He places his works directly in the street, without prior announcement, transforming everyday spaces into platforms for artistic reflection."

White House warns 'The View' could be canceled next after Joy Behar's anti-Trump rant
A White House spokesperson warned "The View" co-host Joy Behar that her show could be next on the chopping block after her latest tirade against President Donald Trump on Wednesday. During the show, Behar and her fellow hosts responded to Trump's call for former President Barack Obama to be criminally investigated for allegedly manufacturing intelligence that prompted the Trump–Russia collusion narrative. "First of all, who tried to overthrow the government on Jan. 6?" Behar said. "Who was that again? That was not Obama. The thing about him is he's so jealous of Obama, because Obama is everything that he is not: Trim, smart, handsome, happily married, and can sing Al Green's song 'Let's Stay Together' better than Al Green. And Trump cannot stand it. It's driving him crazy. Green is not a good color." In a statement to Fox News Digital, White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers called out the show's ratings and suggested it could be "pulled off-air" if Behar didn't stop attacking Trump. "Joy Behar is an irrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. It's no surprise that 'The View's ratings hit an all-time low last year. She should self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump's historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off-air," Rogers said. In a response provided to Entertainment Weekly, a spokesperson for "The View" defended the show by claiming it "is up in total viewers and women 18-49, versus the comparable weeks last season, to its most-watched in four years" and that "season to date, 'The View' is ranking No. 1 in households and total viewers among all network daytime talk shows and news programs for the fifth straight season." Fox News Digital reached out to "The View" for additional comment. The statement came nearly a week after CBS announced "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" would be canceled next May at the end of its broadcast season. Though CBS and parent company Paramount said that the choice to cancel the series was "purely a financial decision," and the show was reportedly losing the network $40 million a year, many liberal commentators have claimed it was for political reasons because of Colbert's anti-Trump stance. According to a new report, Colbert's manager knew that "The Late Show" would be canceled at CBS more than two weeks before his client did, and multiple sources said the decision to cancel the show was "truly driven by financials."
