During an interview on "Fox & Friends" on Monday, Gingrich said Madonna is part of "an emerging left-wing fascism."
In a statement Sunday on Instagram, Madonna said she was trying to express there are two ways to respond to Donald Trump's election: with hope or with outrage. She said she hopes to effect change "with love."
Gingrich says Madonna changed her tune because "she now understands she's at risk."
Madonna's representative wasn't immediately available to respond to Gingrich's remarks.
