Back in 2017, Madonna dropped a few F-bombs in her speech to the Women’s March, and also let the huge crowd know that she’s “thought a lot about blowing up the White House”:
And the crowd roared:

The media is conveniently pretending to have forgotten everything that took place before this year.
I remember this. Where was the outrage from the Left? There was no outrage. https://t.co/q7kF9e1hVw

No outrage from the media, but they did provide plenty of spin:

Madonna confesses to fantasizing about blowing up the White House in 2017.
Media: Consider the nuance and context.
Trump tells people not to riot in 2021.
Media: He's inciting INSURRECTION!!!111!!!— Mike LaChance (@MikeLaChance33) January 11, 2021
Yep, Madonna was just trying to “express herself,” according to CNN:
I saw a tweet this morning about how Madonna said in 2017 that she thought about blowing up the WH and remembered this is how her remarks were covered by CNN.https://t.co/t7NbNmTb4e pic.twitter.com/YBxXQ6grfc
