GOP Congressman Wants To Investigate Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show
Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee sent a letter demanding an inquiry into the NFL and NBCUniversal over Bad Bunny’s halftime show.
The full MAGA crash-out over Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show has been an interesting thing to observe, predictable though it may be.
After all, we are talking about a roughly 12-minute musical performance meant to be a sideshow to the main event, and what Benito gifted us was far more celebratory than political. The only way one could find Bad Bunny’s show to be politically or ideologically divisive is if they considered the very existence of Latin culture to be as such, which — I mean, I don’t know — some people might consider that to be racist.
In fact, apparently, some of these racists are so racist that they’re letting their racism put their livelihoods in jeopardy, and other racists are so racist that they’re using their positions as lawmakers to waste the government’s time on a whole-ass investigation into a Super Bowl halftime show that they simply didn’t care for.
The Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show was pure smut, brazenly aired on national television for every American family to witness.

From USA Today:
Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee sent a Feb. 9 letter to fellow Republican Rep. Brett Guthrie of Kentucky, chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, demanding an inquiry into the NFL and media company NBCUniversal over what he claims is their “prior knowledge, review, and approval” of the music superstar’s performance.In a social media post, Ogles described the 13-minute show as “pure smut” featuring “explicit displays of gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry-humping the air.”The lawmaker said, “If that weren’t outrageous enough,” he further accused Bad Bunny‘s Spanish lyrics of “openly glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities.” Ogles added that “these flagrant, indecent acts” are illegal to be displayed on public airways.Oh my, which show did Ogles watch?
Look, I’m not saying the good congressman is projecting here — but one would have to hit the pause button quickly and efficiently to see anything remotely resembling “explicit displays of gay sexual acts,” or any inherently sexual acts at all, for that matter. It’s almost as if Ogles couldn’t even escape his own homophobic bigotry while watching a show that literally featured a real heterosexual wedding.”
As far as Andy Ogles’ allegations concerning Bad Bunny’s lyrics, the Puerto Rican star’s detractors have spent the last few days looking up the English translations of his songs and highlighting the explicit nature of some of the lyrics — because they have deluded themselves into convenient amnesia, forgetting the entertainment industry’s entire history of musical artists self-censoring their content on family-friendly stages.
Mind you, this is the same Ogles who previously called NYC Mayor Mamdani “Little Muhammad,” called for him to be deported despite him being a U.S. citizen since he was 7 years old, and, just before Mamdani was elected into office, told New York to “WAKE UP” in a tweet accompanied by footage of the 9/11 terror attacks, drawing an absurd association between the mayor and an event that happened when he was all of 10 years old.
