Is MAGA
going woke? It’s a question Piers Morgan is currently floating as Trump’s
fanbase continues to be outraged over Bad Bunny‘s Super Bowl Halftime Show.
While the left is often accused of being political snowflakes, Morgan sees
MAGA’s complete meltdown over Bad Bunny to be more or less that.
“President
Trump and MAGA skillfully rode the post-woke wave as that whole joyless mindset
came crashing down. The left had become the sneering, censorious ogres
demanding puritanical fealty,” Morgan said on the Feb. 10 episode of “Piers
Morgan Uncensored.”
“Conservatives
were the ones having a laugh, to quote JD Vance, as star athletes honored the
Trump YMCA dance and a nation bathed in woke tears,” he continued. “Well, last
year’s Super Bowl really proved the point. The ads were full of bros, burgers
and bikinis. The new president got a standing ovation. But how quickly things
can change. Of course, it’s difficult to maintain that renegade spirit when
you’re actually in power. You have to make unpopular decisions. People realize
that you can’t, in fact, please everybody all the time. And with a lot of the
furious reaction to Bad Bunny’s spectacular and largely non-political halftime
show at this year’s Super Bowl, it’s worth asking whether the culture is now
shifting. Is MAGA becoming a bit thin-skinned, a bit sneering, a bit
censorious, a bit — dare I suggest it — woke?”
Morgan
even challenged one of MAGA’s most outspoken voices, Megyn Kelly. He invited
the former Fox News host onto his show the day after the Super Bowl, and she
proceeded to go on a tirade against Bad Bunny.
“I’m
sorry, Piers, but to get up there and perform the whole show in Spanish is a
middle finger to the rest of America,” Kelly said in hysterics. “Who gives a
damn that we have 40 million Spanish speakers in the United States? We have 310
million who don’t speak a lick of Spanish… This is supposed to be a unifying
event for the country, not for the Latinos, not for one small group, but for
the country. We don’t need a Black national anthem. We don’t need a
Spanish-speaking non-English performer. And we don’t need an ICE or America
hater featured as our primetime entertainment.”
Morgan
fired back at Kelly that the U.S. actually does not have an official language,
proving her point mute. This prompted Kelly to dramatically lambast Morgan’s
home of Great Britain.
“You
ceded your culture to a bunch of radical Muslims who came in and took over and
now it’s gone. We’re not allowing that here,” Kelly told Morgan. “Whether it’s
Hispanic, whether it’s Muslim, it’s not happening in the United States of
America. That’s why President Trump was elected. And whether it’s Bad Bunny,
who is American but refuses to speak English in his performances, or anybody
else, we have to keep the Super Bowl, which is a quintessential American
event.”
MAGA’s
hatred of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime was fueled by Trump himself, who
originally said it was “ridiculous” for the NFL to choose the Puerto Rican
artist as its big game performer. This resulted in Turning Point USA creating
an alternative halftime show headlined by Kid Rock, viewership of which (6
million real time viewers on YouTube) paled in comparison to the 128.2 million
viewers who watched Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show. Trump took to social media
during the big game’s second half to slam Bad Bunny.
“The
Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER!” Trump
posted on Truth Social. “It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of
America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or
Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is
disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the
U.S.A., and all over the World. This ‘Show’ is just a ‘slap in the face’ to our
Country.”
