Madonna Clarifies Her Anti-Trump Speech from the Women’s March: ‘I Spoke in Metaphor’
Madonna was among the many high-profile celebrities who delivered speeches at the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., Saturday, but her profanity-ridden, confrontational speech raised a few eyebrows.
“Yesterday’s Rally. was an amazing and beautiful experience. I came and performed Express Yourself and thats exactly what i did. However I want to clarify some very important things. ” she captioned a photo of herself with the words “I choose love!”
Madonna explained that she does not encourage violence and felt that parts of her speech were taken “wildly out of context.”
Addressing the members of the march, Madonna was clear on her feelings that this moment is “the beginning of a much-needed change.” She followed up the statement with a comparison between violence and peaceful protest. “Yes, I’m angry. Yes, I am outraged. 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. As the poet W.H. Auden wrote on the eve of World War II: ‘We must love one another or die. I choose love’.”
