Turning Point USA is throwing its own Super Bowl halftime show. The conservative political action organization, founded by the late Charlie Kirk, announced Thursday that it plans to host its own performance as counterprogramming to the NFL\u2019s official show on Feb. 8, during which Puerto Rican music icon Bad Bunny is scheduled to perform.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Turning Point USA\u2019s website<\/a> for the event, dubbed the\u00a0 \u201cAll-American Halftime Show,\u201d states that it will celebrate \u201cfaith, family and freedom.\u201d While no other details were provided outside of the date, a survey on the site asks respondents which music genres they would like featured, offering options including pop, hip-hop, country, classic rock, Americana, worship, and \u201canything in English.\u201d A post on X<\/a>,\u00a0confirming the group\u2019s plans, says, \u201cPerformers and event details coming soon.\u201d<\/p>\n The Turning Point USA event comes after Bad Bunny announced he would perform during the NFL\u2019s Big Game this year. The selection of the singer, whose real name is Benito Antonio Mart\u00ednez Ocasio, for the halftime performance has been met with controversy,<\/a> in part because his songs are primarily in Spanish. He has also faced criticism from some on the right for skipping the continental United States on his world tour<\/a> out of concerns that his fans might be arrested by ICE at one of his shows.<\/p>\n In an Oct. 6 interview with Newsmax, President Trump<\/a> said of the Super Bowl\u2019s choice of performer<\/a>, \u201cI don\u2019t know who he is. I don\u2019t know why they\u2019re doing it \u2014\u00a0it\u2019s, like, crazy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
