Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show Performance Was a Middle Finger to America – RedState

The National Football League hasn’t much cared what conservatives or anyone who actually likes America thinks in a long time, and they just emphasized that with Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show performance, which was even worse than we thought it would be.

Heading up to the performance, the predictable cries of “racist!” were screamed at anyone who had a problem with his selection, but it wasn’t that Bad Bunny sings in a language other than English. It’s his hatred for the United States of America.

Fast forward to the performance, which was almost entirely in Spanish . . .

. . . and he ended his performance with 3 words in English, “God Bless America,” but he didn’t mean it the way one might hope he did.

He then listed mostly Latin American countries as performers pranced around holding those flags, then said in Spanish, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” before spiking a football that had “Together, we are America” written on it. Meaning, together all of these countries are America.

Nope.

My friend, California attorney Laura Powell, elaborated:

Bad Bunny was criticized for refusing to stand for the song “God Bless America” during a Yankees game in October.

During the Super Bowl halftime show today, he said “God Bless America,” but don’t be fooled into thinking this was some kind of conciliatory gesture.

He proceeded to list names of countries in what Spanish speakers consider a single continent called “América,” making it clear that he intended to shift the meaning of the phrase from an expression of patriotism for the United States to praise for mostly Latin American countries.

At least Lady Gaga sang in English.

Anthony Scaramucci, who hasn’t been right about anything, really, continued being wrong.

Former RedState editor Kira Davis nailed it.

And then she nailed it harder.

I’ve heard from two friends so far whose first language was Spanish and they couldn’t understand what Bad Bunny was saying, and it looks like they’re not alone.

President Trump posted about it on Truth Social:

The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Of course, Green Day also performed, as Friend-of-RedState John Ondrasik reminded me.

I know every halftime show can’t be legendary, but maybe we could set the bar just a smidge higher?

Here are a few I particularly enjoyed. First, Prince:

ZZ Top:

Michael Jackson:

U2:
