Bad Bunny Isn’t Toning It Down

Wall Street Journal: “Bad Bunny has faced backlash from conservatives since being selected in September to headline the Super Bowl halftime show this Sunday. Some right-wing influencers zeroed in on his criticism of Trump’s immigration agenda, his exclusively Spanish-language lyrics and his gender-fluid fashion choices. They also cast him as a foreigner, despite him being from Puerto Rico, which is a U.S. territory and makes him a U.S. citizen since birth. President Trump has called the halftime-show choice ‘absolutely ridiculous.’”

“Since then, Trump’s handling of immigration has begun to sour with voters, with polls showing a majority of Americans feel ICE has gone too far. Bad Bunny’s latest salvo is reigniting the culture-war controversy over his selection, and immigration policy more broadly, just days before the country’s most-watched sports event.”
