“You speak words of violence. That is not love. I pray you find peace,” wrote one person. Added another: “I am disgusted with all the stars behavior especially yours. Glad my daughters do not listen to your music (sic).”

An unconfirmed report said that the U.S. Secret Service would investigate her comments regarding the White House.

Meanwhile, an official in the Trump administration called out Madonna, issuing a statement to NBC Washington on Sunday.

“Comments like [Madonna’s] are absolutely unacceptable and had they been said about President Obama, the mainstream media would be in an uproar,” the unnamed official said. “The Trump administration welcomes a robust discussion regarding the critical issues facing America’s women and families.”

The protests reportedly drew about 2.5 million participants in a number of cities.
