Progressive commentator Ana Kasparian completely unloaded on members of President Donald Trump’s MAGA fanbase Friday who are outraged by Latin artist Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl 2026 halftime show, calling their anger “dumb.”
“Like, whatever, it’s football, who cares, like, it’s just, this is so dumb ... this obsession with instilling fear and destroying any fun or entertainment in the country on behalf of your political message is gross,” Kasparian told co-host Cenk Uygur on Friday’s episode of “The Young Turks.”
Bad Bunny’s upcoming performance at the Super Bowl halftime show sparked fury among many on the right, who complained that the artist didn’t have songs in English, had criticized Trump and immigration enforcement and was from Puerto Rico, which is a U.S. territory.
Department of Homeland Security adviser Corey Lewandowski on Wednesday added fuel to the fire while appearing on right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson’s show, where he threatened to have ICE agents attend the massive NFL event at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, in February.
“There is nowhere that you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally. Not the Super Bowl and nowhere else,” Lewandowski said.
