Madonna Clarifies Her Controversial Anti-Trump Speech From Women's March

Madonna, the legendary singer has a knack of always being in the headlines, whether it's her albums or her personal life antics, she is always in the news. However, this time, it's about politicsand women's rights.

According to the Rolling Stone, on the occasion of the Women's March when number of women took to the streets in Washington DC voicing their protest against the Presidential Rule of Donald Trump, a few celebrities joined them too. From the likes of Charlize Theron to Julia Roberts and from Jessica Chastain to Scarlett Johansson, it was an event where almost every woman opposing Trump came out in solidarity. Madonna is no stranger to controversy and her speech was quite fierce and to some extent "dangerous" as well.

On Saturday, Madonna took to the mike and said, "Yes, I'm angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. But I know this won't change anything. We cannot fall into despair." The "blowing up the White House" has caused much fuss among the media, especially the conservative ones and has irked the Trump Administration to take action against her.

Trump Advisor Kellyanne Conway criticized her actions, lamenting that the singer should have donated some of her huge wealth for building a women's shelter rather than throwing vulgar tantrums and threats at the current administration.

According to the Mail Online, the singer in an Instagram post on Sunday clarified that she is not a violent person and does not promote violence. She also added that it is very important for the people to hear and understand what she said "in its entirety" rather than accusing her of using one particular phrase.

Sources say that Madonna came in as a surprise guest speaker at the rally. She also performed "Express Yourself" before her speech. The Secret Services though are reportedly looking into her claims and might take them to the level of investigation. Though the legendary singer has clarified her stand on her speech at the Women's March on Saturday, the effects of the controversy seems far from over.
