On January 21, 2017, only one day after the inauguration of Donald J. Trump, a Women’s March took place. 673 marches happened worldwide, and in Washington, D.C, Madonna made quite the unforgettable speech.

The speech started off pretty basic, with her saying things such as, “good did not win this election, but good will win in the end!”

But she had began to get more and more angry and violent towards the end of her five minute long rant.

“To our detractors that insist that this march will never add up to anything, fuck you! F*** YOU!” she had reached a point, where she even confessed to thinking about blowing up the White House, which has caused quite the controversy between her and the majority of Trump supporters and the rest of the Republican Party.

“Yes, I am angry. Yes I am outraged. Yes I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House, but I know that this won’t change anything.” It was that one statement, that had possibly blown her entire career to the ground.

Shortly after her spout of anger in front of a podium, watched by thousands upon thousands of people, things went downhill for her. Texas radio stations have banned all of her music due to her perceived lack of patriotism, people have been petitioning to get her thrown in prison for allegedly threatening the White House, and many other high-profile celebrities criticized her openly on both social media and during casual interviews.

What many people don’t fully realize is Madonna, although disrespecting America by stating she thought about blowing up the White House, didn’t technically threaten anyone or anything. She was simply practicing her freedom of speech, also known as the First Amendment. So although what she had said during her now infamous speech at the Women’s March on Washington had offended the vast majority of Americans, nothing of what she said could criminalize her, only make people dislike her.
