Even the left agrees — arrest Madonna.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich speculated that aging pop star Madonna “should be arrested” for remarks she’d made at the Women’s March in Washington, D.C. Saturday.

“She is parallel to the young fascists running around town breaking windows,” Gingrich said on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” Monday.
“All of them should be given maximum sentence,” he added. “What you have is an emerging left-wing fascism. She’s part of it. And I think we have to be prepared to protect ourselves. Frankly, she ought to be, the truth is she ought to be arrested.
Even left-wing British journalist Piers Morgan agreed with Gingrich’s assessment.
Publicly threatening to bomb the White House is a serious criminal offence. @Madonna should be arrested. #WomensMarch

Madonna addressed her remarks to an estimated 500,000 anti-Trump demonstrators Saturday.
“I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House,” she told the crowd, adding that she “knows this won’t change anything.”
Adding fuel to the fire, the “Material Girl” reportedly tweeted — then deleted — a message early Sunday morning that said “F**k Donald Trump and f**k the Secret Service.”
Later that day the pop star apparently decided time in a federal prison didn’t agree with her and she walked back her statement, attributing it all to “love.”
“I want to clarify some very important things. I am not a violent person, I do not promote violence and it’s important people hear and understand my speech in it’s entirety rather than one phrase taken wildly out of context,” she wrote on her Instagram account.
“My speech began with ‘I want to start a revolution of love.’ I then go on to take this opportunity to encourage women and all marginalized people to not fall into despair but rather to come together and use it as a starting point for unity and to create positive change in the world,” she continued. “I spoke in metaphor and I shared two ways of looking at things — one was to be hopeful, and one was to feel anger and outrage, which I have personally felt. However, I know that acting out of anger doesn’t solve anything. And the only way to change things for the better is to do it with love. It was truly an honor to be part of an audience chanting ‘we choose love.'”
