  • All Hell Breaks Loose When Geraldo Asks Black Fox Pundit When He’s Last Been ‘In the Ghetto’

    Fox NewsA Fox News debate on race and politics went completely off the rails on Thursday after Geraldo Rivera asked fellow network contributor Leo Terrell “when was the last time you were in the ghetto?”The pair ostensibly appeared on Fox News’ America’s Newsroom to discuss Tishaura Jones, who just became the first African-American female mayor in St. Louis history. And while much of the discussion did revolve around the pair’s criticism of Jones’ plan to employ more social workers to bring down crime in the city, it quickly devolved into a food fight—as is customary for the cable-news medium.“I wish her the best. She seems very idealistic but unrealistic in many regards,” Rivera said about Jones’ positions on policing and crime, prompting Terrell to immediately blast his colleague.“Geraldo, give me a break! All the evidence on Fox News, all this crime is going on in Democratic cities where they basically give the keys of the city to the criminals!” Terrell exclaimed.“I’m agreeing with you, bud,” Rivera replied, attempting to calm Terrell down. “You can’t bring a social worker to a gunfight, I agree with you. But there is always room for kindness and compassion and these families are shattered.”Terrell, who recently christened himself “Leo 2.0” after renouncing his liberalism to come out in support of Donald Trump, was in no mood to be calmed. And Rivera’s remarks later in the debate would serve to set him off.After anchor Bill Hemmer noted that Jones told her white mayoral opponent Cara Spencer that she believes that “white allies” don’t have the “lived experiences to lead a majority-minority city,” Terrell insisted that was the “most insulting, racist comment” he’s ever heard.“To say that she is basically in a better position because she is Black is insulting, is racist, and makes no sense whatsoever.” Terrell fumed. “I reject that argument!”Rivera, rhetorically stepping on the nearest rake, shot back: “Hey Leo, when was the last time you were in the ghetto?”At that point, reality-TV-like fireworks ensued on the Fox News set.“How dare you say that?!” an enraged Terrell shouted back. “You know nothing about me. How dare you say that?!”Yelling over each other, the two went back and forth over their shared living experiences before Terrell directly appealed to Hemmer over what Rivera said to him.“You know what Geraldo accused me of? Living in a particular area that I don’t understand,” he grumbled. “I have been a civil-rights attorney for 30 years and fought against this for 30 years. How dare you!”Not making things any better, Rivera chimed in: “All right, you’re Jesus on earth!”Eventually bringing the shouting match to an end, Hemmer let the bickering Fox personalities know: “I love you both.”Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

  • Florida evacuations order lifted as danger from leaky wastewater reservoir fades

    Evacuation orders were lifted on Tuesday for hundreds of residents near Tampa Bay in Florida as crews relieved pressure on the containment wall surrounding a leaky wastewater reservoir, reducing the threat of a toxic flash flood. Residents and local businesses were permitted to return after data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers showed a diminished risk of a catastrophic collapse at the site of the former Piney Point phosphate plant. The Army Corps and local public safety crews have worked around the clock for days pumping hundreds of millions of gallons of water out of the reservoir to ease pressure on its weakened containment wall.

  • Quindon Tarver, ‘Romeo + Juliet’ and ‘American Idol’ Singer, Dies at 38

    Quindon Tarver, a musician and former child star best known for his appearance in Baz Luhrmann’s “Romeo + Juliet,” died after a car accident in Texas on April 1. He was 38. Tarver was born in 1982 in McKinney, Texas, and started singing in church choirs at four years old. At age 12, Tarver was signed to Virgin Records and appeared in Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” music video. He then went on to play a choirboy in Luhrmann’s 1996 cult classic “Romeo + Juliet,” contributing two covers to the film’s soundtrack: Prince’s “When Doves Cry” and Rozalla’s “Everybody’s Free.” After “Romeo + Juliet,” Tarver went on to appear on Seasons 2 and 7 of “American Idol.” Also Read: Paul Ritter, 'Chernobyl' and 'Harry Potter' Actor, Dies at 54 “He had been through so much,” his uncle Kevin Tarver told The Dallas Morning News after his death. “But his focus was on his music. He was getting ready to make his comeback. He had been in the studio working on a project that was supposed to be released this year.” Upon learning of Tarver’s passing, Luhrmann posted an old clip of Tarver singing during rehearsals for “Romeo + Juliet.” The director captioned the Instagram post, “A beautiful soul has passed. My thoughts are with Quindon Tarver’s family and loved ones.” In 2016, Tarver participated in a tribute to Prince, performing his version of “When Doves Cry” once more. It marked a turning point in his career, with the musician saying in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, “I had pretty much given up. When Prince passed away, I went to L.A. to be a part of a Prince tribute. When I got on the stage and they announced my name, it was like a coming to Jesus moment. The applause and the cheers of the people, it was like, ‘Wow, this is what I want to do. These people remember me! Twenty years later, these people remember me.'” See Luhrmann’s tribute below.
