So I think that just, like, that’s what the Super Bowl has always been about. I mean, that’s what the NFL understands now that Jay-Z is in charge of the halftime performance. It’s sort of like putting your arms around America and saying, “This is all us.” And then that’s what Bad Bunny had messaged on the football set, right? “This is America, all of us together.” And that has never been what MAGA has supported. They’ve always been like, “This 30 percent of America matters. And then everybody else—sort of screw yourself.”
Sargent: Exactly. Well, so MAGA, in fact, erupted over this show. Nick Adams, one of Trump’s picks as an ambassador, asked, “Was a single word of English spoken during the show?” Laura Loomer said, “Can’t even watch a Super Bowl anymore because immigrants have literally ruined everything.” And another MAGA influencer attacks Bad Bunny as a “fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America.” Well, there you have it, right? Like, to them, it is the very fact that immigrants were being celebrated that itself made it unbearable.
Carrasquillo: Yes. And of course there’s so much to break down there, which is, for example—is it Jake Paul or Logan Paul? I get them confused because they just matter so little to me, but it was Jake Paul. Jake Paul, who called Trump—who called Bad Bunny a “fake American citizen” who has benefited from Puerto Rico’s tax laws living there so he can keep his money, right? And AOC sort of eviscerated him over that on Twitter.
