You Know You’re THAT B**** When You Cause All This Conversation: Why Madonna Was Name Dropped During Trump Impeachment Hearings.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
“Republican Colorado congressman Ken Buck took shots at Madonna and other
Hollywood stars on Wednesday (Jan. 13) during a debate about impeaching
President Donald Trump on the House floor, blaming not only his Democratic
counterparts, but also liberal celebrities for their anti-Trump comments in
the past.
“Robert De Niro said that he wanted to punch the president in the face.
Madonna thought about blowing up the White House. Kathy … Griffin held up a
likeness of the president’s beheaded head. And nothing was said by my
colleagues at that point,” Buck said, trying to draw a line between the
president being accused of inciting violence during last week’s Capitol attack
and celebrities’ previous statements.
In 2017, the Queen of Pop took the stage at the Women’s March on Washington,
the day after Trump was inaugurated as president, and made some provocative
comments to the crowd, though she finished with a message of love. “Yes, I
have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. But I know this
won’t change anything. We cannot fall into despair,” the “Material Girl”
singer said during the March. “As the poet W. H. Auden once wrote on the eve
of World War II, we must love one another or die. I choose love. Are you with
me? Say this with me: We. Choose. Love.”
Madonna took to Instagram a day after her speech and clarified that she didn’t
mean to promote violence with her comment and that acting out of the anger she
felt “doesn’t solve anything. And the only way to change things for the better
is to do it with love.
Griffin noted her only takeaway from Buck’s speech was that she and Madonna
were being name-dropped, according to her Twitter.” – Billboard.com
