The material girl dropped numerous F-bombs when she spoke to the masses, and also discussed how upset the election result had made her saying: "Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House."

Terry Thomas, the general manager for the radio station said: "banning all Madonna songs at HITS 105 is not a matter of politics, it’s a matter of patriotism.

"It just feels wrong to us to be playing Madonna songs and paying her royalties when the artist has shown un-American sentiments."

He then urged all radio stations to take "their lead" and send a "powerful economic message to Madonna."

The Vogue singer had already issued an apology for her comments, and took to social media after her speech

She posted a picture of herself at the rally in Washington DC following Donald Trump’s inauguration.

In the photo’s caption she wrote: “Yesterday's rally was an amazing and beautiful experience.

“I came and performed Express Yourself and that’s exactly what I did.

“However I want to clarify some very important things.

“I am not a violent person, I do not promote violence and it's important people hear and understand my speech in its entirety rather than one phrase taken wildly out of context.

“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 marginalised 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.

 

 

“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.

“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.”

But it is unclear if her swift U-turn will be enough to get her out of trouble with the authorities after it was yesterday reported the secret service was planning to launch a probe into her provocative speech.

Pro-Trump site  wrote that a Secret Service spokesperson had confirmed they were "aware" of Madonna's comments and would open an investigation.

Meanwhile on Wednesday the singer issued a denial she was planning to adopt two more children from Malawi, after she was seen appearing in court there.
