Trump ally criticizes Bad Bunny Super Bowl show, proposes odd replacement

House speaker Mike Johnson has criticized the decision to have Bad Bunny perform at the Super Bowl halftime show. The Puerto Rican artist, born Benito Antonio Martinez, faced backlash from Donald Trump and his supporters. Trump called the decision 'crazy' and 'absolutely ridiculous.' Bad Bunny had previously cited ICE agents as a reason for excluding mainland US dates from his upcoming tour. Johnson expressed his preference for 82-year-old country singer Lee Greenwood to perform instead.

Trump and his ally Corey Lewandowski criticized the choice of Bad Bunny for the halftime show. Lewandowski mentioned ICE agents patrolling San Francisco during the Super Bowl, emphasizing the enforcement of immigration laws. Bad Bunny responded to his critics during his appearance on 'Saturday Night Live,' expressing excitement about the Super Bowl performance and thanking his supporters.

During his monologue, Bad Bunny addressed his critics and thanked the Latino community for their contributions in the United States. He emphasized the significance of his Super Bowl performance as a win for all Latinos and Latinas. Bad Bunny's remarks were partly in Spanish, where he highlighted the importance of their presence and impact in the country.
