Billed as an alternative to Bad Bunny's official Super Bowl performance, the event came off like a pyrotechnics-heavy tantrum
‘The “All-American Halftime Show” — featuring MAGA favorite Kid Rock, and a supporting cast of lesser known conservative musicians (and one vampiric cellist) — ran concurrently to the Super Bowl halftime show, which was headlined by Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny. The show’s main feed on Turning Point USA’s YouTube channel pulled a total of about 16 million views, with about 5 million concurrent users at its peak, a notable feat given that their original platform host, Elon Musk’s X, was spiked due to “licensing issues,” per a post shortly before the game. That number is expected to increase when combined with other feeds hosted by websites like The Daily Wire, but will likely still pale in comparison to the official halftime show, which last year drew a record-breaking 133.5 million viewers.
The All American Halftime Show was heavy on guitars, Americana, and Christian praise, and was bracketed by tributes to Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, who was assassinated in September. At its heart, the whole thing was essentially an angry tantrum over the elevation of a Latino, Spanish speaking, pro-immigration artist — who many conservatives assumed was not an American citizen — to one of the nation’s biggest stages. The “in America we speak English” halftime show, if you will.

Despite the posturing and counter-programming by his critics, Bad Bunny’s performance — which highlighted the ties between all nations of the Americas — was well received by pretty much everyone who hadn’t already made up their mind to dislike it ahead of time. As Grammy-winning country artist Kacey Musgraves put it to her fans on X, Benito put on a show that “made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done.”'
It was more the All Rightwing Hateful Racists and Bigots Halftime Show.
Conservatives are certainly obsessed with diving the American people.
The TPUSA Anti-Halftime Show was another embarrassing example of the ignorance and stupidity of conservatives.
