Madonna,
the
58-year-old
pop
star,
who
has
been
criticized
severely
for
her
outrageous
women's
march
speech
against
Donald
Trump
tries
to
clarify
and
defend
her
statement
on
Facebook.
Madonna,
who
had
earlier
stated
at
the
women's
march,
in
support
of
the
Hillary
Clinton
"Yes,
I'm
angry.
Yes,
I
am
outraged,
Yes,
I
have
thought
an
awful
lot
about
blowing
up
the
White
House.
But
I
know
that
this
won't
change
anything." She
clarified
her
statement
saying
she
didn't
promote
violence.
"I
am
not
a
violent
person,
I
do
not
promote
violence
and
it's
important
people
hear
and
understand
my
speech
in
it's
entirety
rather
than
one
phrase
taken
wildly
out
of
context," she
wrote
on
her
social
media
account.
"My
speech
began
with
'I
want
to
start
a
revolution
of
love.'
I
then
go
on
to
take
this
opportunity
to
encourage
women
and
all
marginalized
people
to
not
fall
into
despair
but
rather
to
come
together
and
use
it
as
a
starting
point
for
unity
and
to
create
positive
change
in
the
world." said
Madonna.
"I
spoke
in
metaphor
and
I
shared
two
ways
of
looking
at
things,
one
was
to
be
hopeful,
and
one
was
to
feel
anger
and
outrage,
which
I
have
personally
felt."
The
pop
star
added.
"However,
I
know
that
acting
out
of
anger
doesn't
solve
anything.
And
the
only
way
to
change
things
for
the
better
is
to
do
it
with
love."
Madonna
added
further.
