Why has Maga lost its mind over Bad Bunny?

Can someone explain to me why Megyn Kelly is so angry? In an interview with Piers Morgan, the political commentator began ranting so hard about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl half-time show that I was starting to worry about her health.

“I’m sorry Piers. To get up there and perform the whole show in Spanish is a middle finger to the rest of America!” she roared. “We don’t need a Spanish-speaking, non-English performing performer, and we don’t need an ICE- or America-hater featured as our primetime entertainment.”

When Morgan challenged her about English being the official language of the United States, she quickly shot back. “This attitude that you have here is why you in Great Britain have lost your culture. You have ceded your culture to a bunch of radical Muslims who came in and took over and now it’s gone,” she said. “We’re not allowing that here. It’s not happening in the United States of America. That’s why President Trump was elected.”

Naively, I had thought this interview was about the Super Bowl.

Lucky for me, Kelly did return to the game. “Football, that kind of football, is ours. They call it American football.” (I was glad for the clarification.) “And the half-time show, and everything around it, needs to stay quintessentially American. Not Spanish, not Muslim, not anything other than good old-fashioned American apple pie. There should be a meatloaf, maybe some fried chicken, and an English-speaking performer. That’s what the Super Bowl should be.”

Definitely no nachos found on football night at the Kelly house, I quickly surmised. (Seriously, who eats meatloaf on game........
