Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says Madonna "ought to be arrested" for saying she had "thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House" since Donald Trump’s election, Yahoo News reports.

"She is parallel to the young fascists who ran around town breaking windows, all of whom should be given the maximum sentence," Gingrich said in an interview on Fox & Friends on Monday. "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."

During the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, Madonna gave a profanity-laden speech trashing Trump. 

The pop star, who also performed at the march, later sought to clarify her remarks.
