Secret Service Opens Investigation into Madonna���s Controversial Comment at Women���s March
You surely heard quite a bit about the Women���s March, a global rally on Saturday for women���s rights that had Washington, D.C. as its physical and emotional center, but which was comprised, in total, of nearly 700 marches worldwide.
A handful of celebrities were notable participants, including the pop singer and actress Madonna. Indeed, Madonna���s appearance at the event before the multitudes ended up becoming very notable when she made a remark that even she likely regretted later��� something about blowing up the White House, of all things.
Yes, that���s right.
Courtesy of Gateway Pundit, here���s a transcript of what the Queen of Pop said:
���I���m angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. (Crowd cheers.) But I know that this won���t change anything. We cannot fall into despair. As the poet W. H. Auden once wrote on the eve of World War Two, ���We must love one another or die.��� I choose love. Are you with me? (Crowd cheers.) Say this with me: We choose love!���We choose love!���We choose love!���
According to the Pundit, a spokesman for the Secret Service told the outlet that they are ���aware��� of Madonna���s comment about blowing up the White House, and that a formal investigation into the matter would be opened. However, said the spokesman, whether Madonna is actually prosecuted for the remark is up to the discretion of the U.S. Attorney���s office.
