Meghan McCain sparked backlash from her fellow conservatives for praising Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday.
“I’m sorry but I just genuinely question your taste level if you didn’t enjoy the Bad Bunny halftime show,” McCain wrote on X. “And everything in life doesn’t have to be ruined with politics.”
McCain’s remarks come as a break from other conservatives who were outraged by the Latin artist, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, singing entirely in Spanish.
President Donald Trump called Bad Bunny’s performance a “‘slap in the face’ to our Country,” and Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) claimed it depicted “gay pornography,” going as far as to request the Energy and Commerce Committee to launch a formal inquiry into the NFL and NBC.
Right-wing pages on X bashed McCain’s defense of the performance, some making comments about her body and others criticizing the dance.
