MAGA has announced its own Super Bowl halftime show

MAGA has been melting down since it was announced that Bad Bunny would be the halftime entertainment at the Super Bowl in February. Their complaints:

  • He’s not American. (He’s from Puerto Rico, a US territory, making him an American citizen.)
  • He’s not Christian enough. (He was raised Catholic.)
  • He sings in Spanish. (DEI! SPEAK ENGLISH OR DIE! WE SHOULDN’T EVEN HAVE TO ENDURE 12 MINUTES OF THIS ABOMINATION!)
  • He refused to route his new tour through the US mainland. (HE HATES AMERICA! No. It’s because he’s afraid ICE will gather at his shows and arrest/deport his fans.)

Now Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk’s organization, says they’ve got an “alternative halftime show” in the works that will feature “anything in English.”

TPUSA says, “It’s true, Turning Point USA is thrilled to announce The All American Halftime Show.” They promise to celebrate “faith, family, and freedom,” without any hint of irony.

No artists have been announced yet, but TPUSA is conducting a poll, hoping for suggestions for “country, pop, ‘worship,’ Americana, and classic rock.” And where will it be held? Not in the stadium. Who will see it and how will it be distributed? Unclear.

Meanwhile, non-MAGAs are already calling the Super Bowl LX “The Bunny Bowl.” I like it. Let’s get that trending.

More at Billboard. Oh, and nice catch, BB!
