Madonna 'Ought To Be Arrested,' Says Newt Gingrich

Former House Speaker and Donald Trump adviser Newt Gingrich condemned Madonna on Monday, saying she "ought to be arrested" after her recent speech at the Women's March in Washington, D.C. During that address, the singer said, "I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House."

"To the detractors that insist that this march will never add up to anything: Fuck you," singer says during surprise appearance

This drew a harsh rebuke from Gingrich. "She is parallel to the young fascists who ran around town breaking windows, all of whom should be given the maximum sentence," he declared during an interview with Fox & Friends. "What you have is an emerging left-wing fascism. She's part of it, and I think we have to be prepared to protect ourselves."

Gingrich's comments expand on those from White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. "One of the singers said she wanted to blow up the White House," Priebus told Fox on Sunday. "I mean, can you imagine saying that about President Obama?"

Madonna addressed the conservative outrage over her comments in an Instagram post on Sunday, clarifying her position. "I am not a violent person, I do not promote violence and it's important people hear and understand my speech in its entirety rather than one phrase taken wildly out of context," she wrote.

How can he stand with the Russians after what his Dad was doing in Europe in the late 50's. The old USSR and the newer Oligarchy, no difference. Newt was in the DOD schools.

14. I forget - what did Newt have to say about Trump supporter Ted Nugent

and his threats against President Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Oh, i remember. Nothing.

But he did have plenty to say about Nugent referring to President Obama as a "subhuman mongrel" -- he responded by accusing CNN and others of "selective outrage". Mirror, meet Mr. Gingrich.

in the poisoned entrails throw

toad that under cold stone
days and nights has thirty-one
sweltered venom sleeping got

boil thou first in the charmed pot!

double double toil and trouble

fire burn and cauldron bubble

fillet of a fenny snake
in the caldron boil and bake

eye of newt and toe of frog
wool of bat and tongue of dog
adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting
lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing
for a charm of powerful trouble
like a hell-broth boil and bubble
