Dana Loesch: 'Imagine if Madonna's name was Phil Robertson'

As Twitchy reported, Madonna ran afoul of many of her followers on Instagram Friday when she referred to her (white) son Rocco by the hashtag #disnigga. Madonna certainly wasn’t contrite, quickly updating the photo but only to tell her haters to “get off my dick.”

A day later, though, all seems to be forgiven. Madonna issued a statement to the Associated Press apologizing for her choice of words.

I am sorry if I offended anyone with my use of the N word on Instagram. It was not meant as a racial slur. I am not a racist. There’s no way to defend the use of the word. It was all about intention. It was used as a term of endearment toward my son who is white. I appreciate that it’s a provocative word and I apologize if it gave people the wrong impression.

So… what if Madonna’s name were Phil Robertson?

@DLoesch @RiskRank all Madonna needed to say is she is not racist because some of my best friends are black & everything would've been fine.

@DLoesch Indeed. Wonder if MSM plans to cover this??

@DLoesch The real issue isn't name, it's political beliefs. "We like you, so we believe your apology" is the name of the game right now
