President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, says she finds it “pretty funny” that some people are “melting down” at her “joking offer” to perform at an alternative Super Bowl halftime show.
The podcaster, who is married to the president’s son, Eric Trump, offered to headline a MAGA-themed halftime show that was announced by Turning Point USA, the right-wing political group founded by slain activist Charlie Kirk. Her suggestion was in response to criticism from the right-wing over Latin singer Bad Bunny being selected as next year’s official Super Bowl halftime headliner.
“So we just heard something that’s pretty funny. I heard that there are a lot of people out there on the left who are melting down and very upset about the possibility that I might be performing at the halftime show for the Super Bowl for Turning Point USA,” she said in an Instagram video Saturday.
Bad Bunny’s vocal condemnation of Donald Trump’s increasing ICE raids and his advocacy for Puerto Rico have sparked backlash from some MAGA supporters, who also widely bemoaned that the three-time Grammy winner has no songs that are entirely in English.
The musician clapped back at the outrage during his monologue on “Saturday Night Live” earlier this month.
