Forget about the Confederate flag, or health care, or gay marriage, the real concern among Americans right now is Ariana Grande.
Some words in her defense:
First of all, she's 22, all 22-year-olds do dumb stuff. This didn't involve driving drunk of killing anyone.
Second, she was talking to her boyfriend in confidence. I wouldn't want anything I told my girlfriend when I was 22 put on the Internet.
I give a lot of leeway to things told to spouses, lovers, best friends, even close co-workers when the speaker doesn't know he/she's being recorded. There's a reason your spouse can't be a witness against you.
(of course if you deride poor people in a room full of campaign donors, it's fair game)
Third, she doesn't hate America, she's just astonished at our remarkably unhealthy food choices.
Until she slips roofies in undergrads' drinks, I say we give her a pass.
