Trump brushes off reporter question about running for third term in 2028: 'The law is very strong'
President Donald Trump dismissed a question Tuesday night from a reporter about the possibility of him running for a third term in 2028, saying "the law is very strong."
"Everybody asks me that question, and you know that the law is very strong on that," Trump said while speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. "I'd love to run, but the law is very strong."
"I get asked by everyone, well even tonight they're screaming at the event, '2028,'" he said, referring to the Patriot Games, which he had attended earlier that day. "No, everybody wants me to do it, but the law is very strong."
Section 1 of the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states that no one can be elected president more than twice.
TRUMP TOLD DONORS 'WE NEED TO ELECT JD,' SOURCE CONFIRMS, AS HE WEIGHS VANCE OR RUBIO IN 2028
The amendment was ratified by the states in February 1951, roughly six years after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had served an unprecedented four terms as president.
Before Roosevelt, it was a longstanding political norm for presidents to serve no more than two terms, following the precedent set by George Washington.
Throughout his second term, Trump has walked a fine line between joking about seeking a third term and signaling that he may be serious about the idea.
At the White House Correspondent's Dinner on July 24, Trump opened his speech with a wisecrack about running again.

"Just like my presidency, the second time is always better. It's always better. And the third time will be better yet. I'm only kidding," Trump said.
In an interview on March 30, 2025, with NBC’s Kristen Welker, Trump struck a different chord, explicitly saying he was not "joking" about seeking a third term.
"There are methods which you could do it," he also told Welker, acknowledging one possible route in which Vice President JD Vance could run for president with Trump as his running mate, win, and then resign — allowing Trump, as vice president, to succeed him and potentially sidestep the 22nd Amendment’s prohibition on being elected president more than twice.
Most constitutional scholars say this would not work. Deborah Pearlstein, a Princeton University law professor, told The Washington Post that the 12th Amendment "closes the door" on Trump securing a third term through the vice presidency.
The amendment’s final sentence states that "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
WWE champ Chelsea Green shows extent of orbital bone fracture, hopeful for quick recovery
Interim WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green appeared to remain hopeful about her injury status as she showed the extent of her broken orbital bone on social media on Tuesday.
Green suffered the injury during a tag team match against women’s tag team champions Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid.

"Fingers crossed for a quick comeback," she wrote in a post on her Instagram Stories.
Green was seen with a bruise under her eye.
She announced over the weekend that she suffered a broken orbital bone just days after becoming the interim WWE women’s champion in a ladder match at SummerSlam.

"I did get injured last night. Stuff happens. It’s live television. It’s wrestling. It’s an occupational hazard," Green said in a video posted to her Instagram. "I ended up in the emergency room and I have a broken orbital bone. It looks amazing all things considered. It feels awful but looks pretty amazing."
"I have no idea what that means for me. Usually, you guys have seen me play into every single injury, but this feels different, obviously. This feels very different. It feels frustrating. I’m upset. I feel like if I didn’t have bad luck, I’d have no luck at all. So, I just need to take a bit more time to process and to heal from, obviously, the head trauma that is going on right now, and then we’ll see what happens. We’re just gonna take it day by day. So, world domination continues. We’ve just had a minor blip."
It’s unclear where the title picture will go from here.
Rhea Ripley, who was the WWE women’s champion, announced earlier this month that she underwent knee surgery and will be out for some time. The Interim WWE Women’s Championship was created in lieu of Ripley’s injury, but Green’s bad luck appeared to throw the scene in flux.
Once-glamorous vacation spot overrun by influencers and crowds: 'Almost unbearable'
A once-glamorous coastal town on the French Riviera is losing its luster, many tourists say.
Long known as a playground for celebrities and the ultrarich, Saint-Tropez has found a new audience: influencers who showcase its designer shops and picturesque waterfront.
Luxury travel influencer JQ Louise, who has been visiting Saint-Tropez for 15 years, told Fox News Digital in an interview that the destination is "packed."
"I think influencers have really captured how picturesque it is," said Louise, who is based in Boston. "Saint-Tropez is a dream destination."
But that exposure comes with a downside, Louise said — particularly during the height of summer.
"If you go in June, July or August — and particularly July and August — Saint-Tropez is packed," she said, adding that visitors could find themselves "shoulder to shoulder" with crowds at the port, popular cafés and beach clubs.
Once a quiet Mediterranean fishing village, Saint-Tropez exploded into a global hot spot in the 1950s, sparking a massive, decades-long surge in tourism, the National Geographic reported.
Today, the town of just 4,000 permanent residents is stretched to its absolute breaking point, absorbing up to 80,000 daily visitors during the July and August rush, the Saint-Tropez Tourism Office noted.
The sheer volume of summer crowds has become so unsustainable that the mayor, Sylvie Siri, is now publicly pleading with travelers to visit during the off-season instead, according to the BBC.
POPULAR DESTINATION CRACKS DOWN HARD ON TOURISTS AS NEW LIMITS THREATEN SUMMER GETAWAYS
On a Reddit forum dedicated to luxury travel, one traveler recently asked whether the French Riviera was even worth it.
In response, many were quick to voice their frustrations with the popular vacation spot.
"It's a scene, and overcrowded, definitely NOT my definition of vacation," one person wrote. "Expensive does not [equal] luxury for me."
"The crowd has become almost unbearable," another said.
"Saint-Tropez isn’t for tourists. It’s for residents," another person said, citing its limited appeal and accessibility for ordinary visitors.
"Just because it has this aura of 'old money' and rappers singing about it doesn’t mean it’s good for visitors. It’s for locals who have houses there," the user added.
ONCE-AFFORDABLE SUMMER ESCAPE ROCKED BY SOARING COSTS AS FAMILIES SHELL OUT THOUSANDS
"Going there just to say you are vacationing in Saint-Tropez is dumb considering how difficult it is to get there as a tourist, unless you have a car."
Others were quick to defend the popular vacation spot.

"Certain resorts are incredibly relaxing and worth every penny," one Redditor said.
"The Riviera is unreasonably beautiful, and the high-end resorts know how to do hospitality well."
Louise said timing can make a big difference for travelers who want to avoid crowds.

"Try to go in the shoulder season," she said, referencing those who feel it's worth it. "Avoid July and August. It’s too packed." She said she prefers September, October, April and May.
She also said there are plenty of other places in the Riviera to visit "that are just as beautiful, if not more beautiful."

"I love to tell people to pick a place as a home base, then plan kind of a few day trips or plan a few side trips as part of your vacation," she said.
"Whether you're staying in Saint-Tropez or if you're staying in Cannes or Monaco or Nice, there are so many villages all along the Riviera and honestly, they're all beautiful," Louise said.
"Most of them are not crowded even in peak season. I would say go a little bit more on the road less traveled."
Man accused of killing parents who bailed him out twice should have been locked up, sheriff says: report
A man accused of gunning down his parents before turning the gun on himself had a violent history with numerous arrests, investigators say.
Deputies say Justin Sislo, 35, killed his parents in a suspected murder-suicide in Madison, New York, on Friday, deputies confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Steve Sislo, 76, and Donna Walker-Sislo, 72, were found dead in their home on McCormick Road.

The Madison County Sheriff's Office said: "While observing the residence from the exterior, the first responding Deputy observed two adult subjects, obviously deceased, through a main level window. Upon making entry to the home, a third adult subject was located deceased inside."
The sheriff's office confirmed the couple had recently paid $10,000 to bail their troubled son out of jail after he was arrested on charges related to a domestic violence case in which he faced two dozen charges. They had bailed him out of jail twice in one month.

Sislo's father was a prominent businessman and philanthropist involved in numerous "local organizations, including the Capitol Theatre and the Rome Area Chamber of Commerce," the Rome Daily Sentinel reported.
Authorities uncovered several guns at the suspect's home during his most recent arrest. He also allegedly had two protective orders that banned him from having firearms, deputies say.
Court records reveal Sislo was charged with "strangulation" and "endangering an incompetent" in Cayuga County in June.

Deadly disease outbreak kills 2,000 as experts reveal what Americans should know
As the death toll from the latest Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) surpasses 2,000 people, infectious disease experts say Americans should remain aware of the humanitarian crisis overseas while understanding the reality of domestic risk.
The virus has spread rapidly across parts of eastern and northeastern DRC, with earlier cross-border cases in Uganda. Published government data shows a total of 4,381 confirmed cases.
"There's a lot of people who live there. So this is not breaking out in a town of 50, but in rural cities of hundreds of thousands," David Wohl, MD, a professor of medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, told Fox News Digital.
FAUCI TEXTS SUGGEST OFFICIALS WERE ‘TOO SLOW TO PIVOT' AMID PANDEMIC, SAYS DR MARC SIEGEL
"Compared to previous outbreaks, the pace at which this is moving is unprecedented," he went on. "The slope is just so catastrophic, with more and more people getting infected at a very significant pace without much slowing down."
Controlling transmission has proven particularly difficult in the DRC due to what Wohl calls a "perfect storm" of adverse conditions.
MEASLES SURGE HITS NEW MILESTONE AS US CASES SURPASS LAST YEAR'S TOTAL
Dense populations and limited access can complicate efforts to deliver medical care, track contacts and establish quarantine protocols, he noted.
"There's conflict in and around these areas, which makes getting in and out of them … really tough," Wohl said.
Despite the escalating death toll in Africa, health officials emphasize that the average American faces very little threat from Ebola.
"This is not something that I think the average person has to worry about acquiring here in the United States," Wohl said, noting that transmission requires close physical contact with bodily fluids from a severely ill or deceased individual.
"It doesn’t travel across the air and across a room," he added.
Even during the massive 2014 West Africa outbreak, which Wohl said infected more than 28,000 people, only four Ebola cases were diagnosed in the U.S. Two were imported cases, and two nurses contracted the virus while caring for an infected patient in Dallas, according to the CDC.
Several other Ebola patients who had been infected and diagnosed overseas were medically evacuated to the U.S. for treatment.

"We just have so much better public health, healthcare systems, hygiene, access," Wohl said. "It's a very different environment."
Viruses like measles, influenza, RSV and SARS-CoV-2 pose more immediate public health concerns for Americans, he added.
"The average person who gets a headache or a fever does not need to worry about Ebola," the doctor said.
For the U.S., potential concerns include the risk to healthcare providers traveling to Africa to assist with containment efforts and the possibility of further instability in the region.
Medical researchers are also navigating challenges with virus variants, according to Wohl.

While treatments and vaccines were successfully deployed against the Zaire strain during the 2014 crisis, the doctor said the Bundibugyo virus circulating in parts of the DRC is genetically different.
As a result, approved Ebola therapeutics are not approved for Bundibugyo-related disease, and their effectiveness against it has not been established.
Researchers are actively evaluating new treatments and vaccine candidates for Bundibugyo virus, Wohl said.
Emerging technologies, including mRNA platforms, could potentially help researchers more rapidly develop vaccines against specific viral threats, according to the doctor.

Global agencies, including the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, continue to monitor the region closely. Wohl emphasized that international support and resource deployment remain critical to stopping the surge.
"This is a fire that’s raging that continues to be out of control," Wohl said. "There’s lots of people suffering ... and I think more can be done."
AMBASSADOR GEORGE DEEK: The Christian Israel you are not being shown
I grew up in Jaffa, going to church every Sunday with my father, the cantor of our Greek Orthodox church. I joined the Christian Scouts as a boy, later became a leader in the movement and even ran our marching band, a serious source of community pride. We marched at Christmas and Easter. We celebrated weddings, baptisms and feast days. We knew which grandmother made the best food and which family was feuding with which other family.
In other words, we were a perfectly normal Middle Eastern Christian community. Our neighbors were Muslims and Jews. We studied together, worked together, argued together and lived together.
I grew up Christian, Arab and Israeli. I felt rooted, safe and happy. Which is why I sometimes wonder whether the Israel I keep reading about is a different country.
THE WAR ON AMERICA’S JUDEO-CHRISTIAN ROOTS THREATENS EVERYTHING WE SHARE
Apparently, Christians here live under siege, Christianity is being pushed out, and Jewish hostility is making Christian life increasingly impossible. It is an alarming picture, and a very strange description of the country in which I actually live.
Let me make one thing clear: There have been ugly incidents of religious radicals spitting at clergy, verbally abusing Christians and vandalizing property. Such behavior is disgraceful. Israel should confront it forcefully through law enforcement, education and religious leadership.
But then comes the question that strangely disappears from much of the discussion:
Do those extremists define Israel? Because if they do, we are going to have to rewrite our descriptions of quite a few Western democracies.
In 2025, the Anti-Defamation League recorded 6,274 antisemitic incidents in the United States, an average of 17 every day. More significantly, there were 203 physical assaults, the highest number the ADL has recorded since it began tracking such incidents.
Does that make America an antisemitic society? Of course not.
Then there is Spain.
According to Spain's Interior Ministry, hate crimes and hate incidents reached their highest recorded level in 2025, rising 23.6% in a single year. Antisemitic incidents rose 86.5% from 37 to 69 cases.
Should we therefore conclude that Spain itself is fundamentally anti-Jewish? Again, no.
ISRAEL LAUNCHES 'BIBLICAL HIGHWAY' AMID CAMPAIGN TO ERASE JEWISH HISTORY
Extremism exists in every democratic society. Sometimes it grows dangerously. Governments must confront it. But serious people understand the difference between extremists within a society and the character of the society itself.
Except, increasingly, when that society is Israel.
An extremist in Boston, Madrid or London attacks a Jew, and we correctly call him an antisemite. A fanatic spits at a Christian in Jerusalem, and suddenly we are invited to diagnose Israeli society.
That is not analysis. It is a double standard.
If you genuinely want to know whether Christians are flourishing in a country, there are better measures than the behavior of its worst citizens.
Start with the most basic question:
Are Christians disappearing?
In Israel, they are not.
DISPUTE OVER CHRISTIAN GROUPS' VISAS TO ISRAEL RESOLVED AFTER HUCKABEE THREAT
In 1950, Israel was home to roughly 34,000 Christians. Today there are about 184,000, and the community continues to grow.
Then look at what Christians actually do here.
Consider one image that tells you more about Christian integration than a hundred government brochures.
Justice Salim Joubran was an Arab Christian justice of Israel's Supreme Court. He sat on the panel that sent former Israeli president Moshe Katsav to prison. Think about that sentence. An Arab Christian judge helped send the Jewish president of the Jewish state to prison.
And nobody in Israel regarded his ethnicity or religion as an issue. He was a Supreme Court justice doing his job. That is the point.
Christians are physicians and hospital directors, academics and businesspeople, mayors, police officers, soldiers and diplomats.
I happen to be one of them.
The boy from the Christian Scouts in Jaffa eventually joined Israel's diplomatic service and became the first Christian appointed to represent Israel as an ambassador.
Today, I serve as Israel's special envoy to the Christian World, a position created specifically to deepen Israel's relationship with Christian communities around the world. Quite an elaborate way for a country supposedly hostile to Christianity to behave.
There are other inconvenient facts. In 2014, Israel formally recognized the Aramean nationality, giving members of ancient Aramaic and Syriac Christian traditions official recognition of an identity rooted in Christianity's earliest history.
Israel is also investing in Christianity's past and future here.
ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNEARTH SECRET CHURCH TIED TO COUNCIL OF NICAEA, CHRISTIANITY'S DEFINING MOMENT
A few days ago, I visited the excavations at Bethsaida on the Sea of Galilee, where archaeologists identified what is likely to have been the hometown of the Apostles Peter and Andrew.
I watched Israeli and American archaeologists, Jews and Christians, literally digging the world of Jesus back out of the earth.
There is something wonderfully inconvenient about that image: The country supposedly erasing Christianity is uncovering the village of the Apostles.
And Israel is already preparing for 2030, when Christians will mark 2,000 years since the baptism of Jesus, an anniversary expected to bring enormous numbers of pilgrims to the Holy Land.
Something interesting is happening beyond Israel's borders as well. Recent polling in Lebanon found strong support among its Christian communities for peace with Israel: 77% among Maronites and 72% among Orthodox Christians.
Perhaps Middle Eastern Christians, after watching what has happened to ancient communities in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere, are beginning to ask questions that old political slogans cannot answer.
Perhaps Jews and Christians in this region have more invested in one another's survival than generations of conflict allowed either side to admit.
None of this excuses a single act of anti-Christian hatred. A Jew who spits at a priest because he is Christian should be ashamed of himself, and Israel should make sure the law deals with him. Full stop.

Israel has work to do. Enforcement must be stronger. Religious leaders must be louder. Education must be better. I am working inside government on precisely these issues.
But I refuse to give the extremist a promotion. He is an extremist. He does not get promoted to spokesman for ten million Israelis simply because that makes for a more dramatic story.
And yet that is effectively what some of the current coverage does.
The extremist is representative, while the Christian Supreme Court justice is an exception.
The spitting teenager is Israeli, while the Christian ambassador somehow is not.
How convenient. This works because a distorted picture does not require invented facts. It requires only a carefully chosen frame. Photograph one crack in a cathedral closely enough, and you can make the entire building appear to be collapsing. The crack is real. The picture is false.
There is a broader reason this matters.
Christianity was born in this region. Yet across much of the Middle East, ancient Christian communities have suffered war, persecution, political instability, emigration and demographic decline.

Before Syria's civil war, Christians numbered over two million, and today only a few hundred thousand are estimated to remain. Iraq's Christian community has fallen from more than 1.5 million before 2003 to fewer than 200,000.
So the important Christian question of our age is not whether Israel contains unpleasant extremists. Of course it does. So do America, Spain and every other country.
The important question is:
Where in the Middle East will Christians still be living, worshiping, raising children and building a future fifty years from now?
I want the answer to include not only Jaffa, Jerusalem, Nazareth and the Galilee, but also Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Egypt and everywhere else Christians have belonged for centuries.
A few days ago at Bethsaida, standing where Peter and Andrew once lived, I was reminded that Christianity's story began here. Two thousand years later, Christians are still here. Not as archaeological artifacts or pilgrims, and certainly not merely as victims.
We worship. We raise families. We criticize our government. We build schools and careers. We serve our country and shape its future.
Israel has extremists. They deserve condemnation and prosecution. What they do not deserve is a promotion. They do not get to define Israel. And those who are so eager to let them should ask themselves why.
Trump's DC crime crackdown 'working' as city sees homicides plummet 43% since 2025: slain intern's mom
The mother of a Congressional intern who was killed in 2025 says President Donald Trump's crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., is working as homicides have plummeted by over 40% over the past year.
New data from the Major Cities Chiefs Association shows that homicides in Washington, D.C., have dropped by 43.9% in the first half of 2026 compared to the previous year. In total, there were 46 homicides during that time period in 2026 compared to 82 in 2025.
The drop in Washington, D.C., homicides came after Trump deployed the National Guard and took control of its police force in early August 2025 to "rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor and worse."

Investigators said that several individuals exited a vehicle and began firing shots at a group of people, which included Tarpinian-Jachym.

Tamara Jachym, Tarpinian-Jachym's mother, told Fox News Digital in an interview that the National Guard's presence in Washington, D.C., is making a difference.

"Something's working and I think extra eyes and ears on the ground is helping this happen," Jachym said. "From what I understand from the folks in D.C. that I do speak with, and they're from all walks of life... They notice a difference. They feel safer."
"I remember when my son Eric was killed, there was a homicide every other day till the National Guard came in," Jachym said.
Jachym had a message for lawmakers who oppose the National Guard being sent to major U.S. cities.

"Those are your constituents. They're being murdered, maimed, and live in fear. It's not OK. I feel that those elected officials have to start feeling compassion to the people who live in these cities who have been victims themselves of a violent crime or their families," she said. "You have to have empathy for us victims, not the criminals."
White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital: "President Trump promised to make America safe again and the data proves he has done just that."
"President Trump has transformed our nation’s capital from a crime-ridden city into a safe and beautiful haven for residents and visitors alike. The President’s Safe and Beautiful Task Force have made more than 16,000 arrests including murderers, sex offenders, drug traffickers and other violent criminals. The Task Force has driven down crime, beautified the city, and improved quality of life for countless individuals."
The Major Cities Chiefs Association also showed that homicides in Memphis, Tennessee dropped by 43.7% in the same time period, from 119 to 67. Trump also deployed the National Guard to that city in 2025.
Jachym wants people to remember her son as a "kind, humble soul who would reach across the aisle and work with the other side to give and take to come up with solutions for the problems we're seeing in America right now."
Sophie Cunningham, Caitlin Clark respond to Fever coach Stephanie White's pregame rant
Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham addressed a viral pre-game rant by their head coach after the Indiana Fever's 106-92 win over the New York Liberty on Tuesday.
Fever coach Stephanie White dedicated her entire pre-game media availability to delivering a rant in defense of herself after she faced criticism for her response on Saturday to an incident when Chicago Sky player DiJonai Carrington smacked Cunningham in the face.
White initially told reporters Saturday that she didn't believe the hit was intentional, before declaring Tuesday that after watching footage, she believed the hit was "egregious."
Cunningham showed support for White after Tuesday's win.
FEVER SHUT DOWN SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM QUESTIONS, ABRUPTLY END PRESS CONFERENCE
"There's just been a lot of outside noise," Cunningham said. "But our locker room is good."
"Our locker room in there, it's tight, and we have each other's backs," she said. "Coach loves us."
Cunningham even defended White's first comments about the foul. White had praised Carrington's competitive nature after the game while agreeing with the officials' decision to eject her. Cunningham said White lacked a full view of the play when she spoke.
"She didn't see the clip," Cunningham said. "At the end of the day, she didn't see the clip."
White said Tuesday of the hit, "I didn't see the play in real time. I went straight to a press conference. I thought the play got called right. Thankfully, Sophie's okay. Was it egregious? Absolutely. When you have a chance to watch that over and over and over on replay, you can see that. I didn't have that in real time."
Cunningham noted that White coached Carrington for two seasons with the Connecticut Sun. She said White could recognize Carrington's ability and still support her own player. Cunningham did not view White's comments as a betrayal.
"She is a hell of a player. She's a great defender," Cunningham said of Carrington. "Give her her flowers, and she didn't see it. And that's OK."
Cunningham then removed any doubt about her relationship with White.
"Me and Steph are great," she said. "Steph is great with all of us."
WHY YOU SHOULD BACK THE INDIANA FEVER TO COVER THE SPREAD AGAINST THE NEW YORK LIBERTY TUESDAY
Cunningham then shifted attention back to basketball. She said she no longer worried about the outside reaction.
"I really don't care anymore," Cunningham said. "I'm trying to keep the main thing the main thing."
Cunningham said the Fever shared the ball, defended well and found their joy again.
"With everything going on, that's kind of been hard to do," Cunningham said. "Tonight was the night that we all just, like, clicked, and we had fun, and we did it for Steph, and we did it for everyone in the locker room."
Clark offered a more personal defense. She spoke with White earlier that day and understood the toll of constant criticism.
"I think we forget a lot of times, like, we're human and she has feelings," Clark said. "There's moments that are really hard."
Clark drew from her own experience under intense scrutiny. She told White that even thick skin has limits.
"I've been through the same thing," Clark said. "There's been days where I've been really upset, and you can have the thickest skin in the world, but sometimes it does get to you."
Clark also criticized the broader climate around the team and the league. She said too many people look for conflict instead of celebrating success.
"Our world is just like, we love to hate. We love to divide," Clark said. "Nobody wants to see each other succeed."
Clark called that painful to watch. She said, "We need to do a better job at uplifting each other."
Clark said that she told White that the Fever would deliver a win for her on Tuesday.
"I can assure you there was no way we were losing this game tonight," Clark said. "And I told her that before the game. Like, there was no way we were losing this game for her."
Clark also addressed the boos White heard during pregame introductions. She accepted that fans can criticize a coach but found the reaction difficult to hear.
"I hated that our fans booed her before the game," Clark said. "That made me a little sick, to be honest."
Clark said disagreement would not change the players' loyalty. She called White their head coach and said the Fever would protect the unity they had built.
"We're going to ride for her, and we're always going to have her back," Clark said. "That's never going to tear our locker room apart."
She closed by expressing affection for White and pride in the Fever's response. Clark said the team played with energy, shared the ball and competed with smiles on their faces.
"I just love her, and I feel for her because I know it can be a lot at times," Clark said. "We really just did it for her, and we did it for each other and the girls in our locker room."
White's pregame rant on Tuesday also made reference to "hate" and "divisive" forces, without referencing anyone directly, that are apparently trying to "hijack" the league.
"The hate, the fear-mongering, the divisiveness, the stuff that's trying to hijack our league will not win. It won't win. We are united. We are connected. We will not be divided," White said.
"Every day, these women put their a** on the line. Every day. When they go low, we go high. Love will win, grace will win. Humility will win and kindness will win. I stand by them, I will always stand by them. Everybody else can go to hell."
The WNBA has been at the center of a national controversy for months now, with the Fever being a recurring constant in that controversy. It started when Phoenix Mercury player Alyssa Thomas punched Clark in the throat. It escalated when Cunningham's stance on protecting women's sports was revealed and prompted a national debate on the issue with White and other coaches being mocked for their answers on the issue.

It boiled over on Saturday after Carrington struck Cunningham and then wrote "White privilege" on Threads right after being ejected.
Now, White will try to lead the Fever through that controversy all the way to the playoffs, as the Fever are one of the hottest teams in the league and are in the driver's seat to clinch the top seed in the East.
Mike Vrabel is finally asked about his family counseling sessions made necessary by the Dianna Russini scandal
It took weeks since the New England Patriots opened their 2026 training camp and NFL rules put coach Mike Vrabel in front of reporters on a regular basis, but the question finally came on Tuesday.
Someone asked Vrabel what he learned from his counseling sessions that he previously said he was seeking after the scandal involving him and NFL reporter Dianna Russini became public.
Vrabel had announced in April he was following up difficult conversations with his family with that counseling because the photos of him and Russini hugging and holding hands and enjoying time together at a pool and spa doubtless caused friction at home.
Vrabel even missed one day of the NFL Draft as part of that counseling regimen.
But then, well, radio silence.
Vrabel didn't discuss it. And he was not asked about it by the New England media. Even on the first day of camp when Vrabel faced reporters for the first time in 2026, the subject never came up.
But it did on Tuesday.

Finally.
QUESTION: "You said this offseason that you were seeking counseling. I wanted to follow up on that and see what you learned from that counseling, and how did you balance that personal commitment with getting ready for this season?"
Good work here. Journalism!
Vrabel then opened up and explained how the sessions affected his family relationships.
No he didn't.
VRABEL: "I think we always look at improvement. As we talk about getting ready for the next season, we always look at improvement and ways that we can improve individually and how we can improve as a team. It’s really critical that we continue to do that on and off the field.
"I believe in that. I believe in everything that we can do to help this football team, to help our coaches, to help myself and everybody else included.
"This journey that we are going to go on is going to be completely different than the one we went on last year. That’s all of our jobs, is to prepare for it now. So, really focused on our improvement individually and as a team, and that’s something that we can do today.
"You look at the O-line, and we talk about them and their ability to play together as a unit. There are so many combination blocks that they are involved in, and we have to be better. Again, five O-linemen have to be able to sustain a line of scrimmage, and I just walked into that meeting room and said, "How do we improve? How do we improve our combination blocks?
"We are not asking you to block everybody 1-on-1. So, I think we all have areas that we can improve on, and that includes the coaches."
That's a lot of words. But it's not anything close to insightful. Or personal.
The question about Vrabel's family counseling sessions that followed an embarrassing unfurling of a years-long relationship between him and a reporter was met with an answer that ultimately discussed offensive line combination blocks.
This doesn't make Vrabel a bad guy.
Or a bad coach.
That time he spent with the woman not his wife might, but not this. This makes him excellent at coachspeak. And expert in the art of deflection.

It's understandable because Vrabel is wise to give an answer that does not lead to a follow-up question on an uncomfortable subject. He doesn't want to dredge up any new stories that might cause his team even the slightest distraction.
He wants a story that went viral in the spring to die this summer.
One more thing: He probably doesn't feel like he owes anyone an actual answer.
And he's correct. It's a personal matter for him and he has a right to keep it locked up.
But the question needed to be asked.
Finally, score one for journalism.
