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.

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.

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
adders fork and blind-worms sting
lizards leg and owlets wing
for a charm of powerful trouble
like a hell-broth boil and bubble
