Turning Point USA on Thursday said it will host a competing show to Bad Bunny's 2026 Super Bowl halftime performance.

Why it matters: The announcement capitalizes on MAGA outrage over the NFL's selection of the Puerto Rican artist, who skipped shows in the continental U.S., partly because of concerns with ICE raids.

Performers and event details were not yet announced for the "All American Halftime Show," which will, per Turning Point, celebrate "faith, family and freedom" on Feb. 8.
Driving the news: Conservative uproar followed the announcement of Bad Bunny, one of the world's most popular artists, as the Super Bowl halftime headliner.

I see elsewhere that they're considering featuring Creed for the show.

1. That show seems like a real wiener.

2. I've seen Creed's name bandied about too

They should call it the Half-Assed show.

3. Puppy Bowl and Kitten Bowl

will get higher ratings.

4. No doubt.

Erika is making her first move to try to lead the unleadable.

5. Knuckle-draggers think Bad Bunny is not an American citizen. . . . nt

6. That's a very common mistake.

Puerto Ricans have to deal with that a lot, I'm afraid.

[EYESORE 9001]

7. They WANT to believe he's not a US citizen

All that fervent hope and blind hatred for naught.

8. GOOD !!! Make it a REALLY BIGLY production !

I love how RWNJs are so excited about pouring their money into rat holes. The more they waste, the less they have for actually effective plots.

PUT IT IN A PILE AND BURN IT !! At least that way you can smell it. Though I guess a RW halftime show could have quite a smell of its own.

9. Well, alls I can tell you is I ain't watching no Mexican half-time. No siree!
