I think she hurt herself very badly. I think she hurt that whole… cause,” he told _Fox News_‘ Sean Hannity in an interview Thursday evening. “I thought her, and a couple of others. But I thought she was in particular… I thought what she said was disgraceful to our country.” During the Saturday march, the _Vogue_ singer [spoke openly about](http://time.com/4643858/womens-march-newt-gingrich-madonna/) how the election results had affected her. “Yes, I’m angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House,” she told a crowd of roughly [500,000 people](http://time.com/4642323/womens-march-washington-donald-trump-inauguration/).

A Texas [radio station also banned](http://motto.time.com/4650416/texas-radio-bans-madonna-womens-march/) the star’s music from its airwaves because of Madonna’s “un-American sentiments.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4651502/donald-trump-madonna-womens-march/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4651502/donald-trump-madonna-womens-march/"},"headline":"President Trump Calls Madonna 'Disgusting' Following Her Women's March Speech","datePublished":"2017-01-27T12:34:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:49:12.479Z","description":"\"Honestly, she’s disgusting.
