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.

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

Yep, Madonna was just trying to “express herself,” according to CNN:
