People are remembering how media covered Madonna telling Women's March she thought a lot about blowing up the White House

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:

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
