“The View” co-hosts argued Friday that Americans who watch Turning Point USA\u2019s (TPUSA) alternative to the Super Bowl halftime show are doing so out of racism.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While discussing whether Bad Bunny\u2019s upcoming performance<\/a> at the big game will be political, co-host Sara Haines said, “At the end of the day, this is a business model. Nobody is looking to make moral statements. They picked Bad Bunny because he was the most-streamed artist of 2025, with over 19.8 billion streams. They picked the guy that will draw in the people to watch the halftime show. It\u2019s that simple. It\u2019s not political. The people tuning in know it\u2019s good music. It\u2019s a talented artist \u2014”<\/p>\n

“Will he say something political?” co-host Joy Behar interjected.<\/p>\n

“His existence is being made political \u2014 that\u2019s the point,” Haines replied. “The problem is anyone watching the Turning Point show \u2014 it\u2019s only political. So if you\u2019re watching the halftime show, and you get awesome music, and if you\u2019re watching Turning Point, it\u2019s because you\u2019re choosing to be political.”<\/p>\n

KAROLINE LEAVITT SAYS TRUMP PREFERS NOT TO WATCH BAD BUNNY AT SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Kid Rock appeared Monday on “The Charlie Kirk Show” to announce that he will headline Turning Point USA\u2019s “All-American Halftime Show<\/a>,” an alternative to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Behar went on to read a quote from Kid Rock contrasting the upcoming halftime show with his own performance plans.<\/p>\n

“So this is from Kid Rock taking jabs at Bad Bunny, quote, \u2018He said he\u2019s having a dance party, wearing a dress, and singing in Spanish. Cool. We plan to play great songs for folks who love America,\u2019” she said. “So, in other words, if you\u2019re speaking in Spanish and you want to dance, that makes you un-American, according to Kid Rock.”<\/p>\n

Co-host Sunny Hostin rejected criticism of the halftime show, telling viewers, “Just for a public service announcement for those people, Puerto Ricans are American citizens, because Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States. So all Puerto Ricans that are born in Puerto Rico or here on the mainland are American citizens. So Bad Bunny, while he speaks Spanish \u2014 as Ana does, as I do \u2014 we\u2019re all Americans.”<\/p>\n

“I think what\u2019s fascinating is that this off-brand type of halftime show is even happening, because they think that Bad Bunny is not American,” she continued. “And think about all the other acts that have performed during halftime like Phil Collins, he\u2019s from the U.K., OK? The Who, U.K., U2, U.K., Coldplay? U.K! They\u2019re not American and that didn\u2019t make the halftime show un-American.”<\/p>\n

“It is so very racist what is happening in this country about Bad Bunny,” Hostin added. “Let\u2019s just call a thing a thing. It\u2019s just racism, pure and simple.”<\/p>\n

EX-NFL STAR HOPES SUPER BOWL LX CAN STEER CLEAR OF POLITICS, PROVIDE FANS ‘AN ESCAPE’<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Last year, Bad Bunny said he avoided scheduling mainland U.S. tour dates over concerns that Latino fans could be detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). His selection as the Super Bowl LX halftime performer has sparked backlash from some conservatives \u2014 including President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

At the recent Grammy Awards,<\/a> Bad Bunny said “ICE out” in condemnation of Trump\u2019s deportation efforts while accepting the Grammy for Best M\u00fasica Urbana Album, and declared, “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens \u2014 we are humans, and we are Americans.”<\/p>\n

Later in “The View” discussion, co-host Ana Navarro said Bad Bunny “is a Latino and Hispanic who never shied way from defending his culture, his identity, and his people.”<\/p>\n

The backlash to the halftime show, she said, “is about racism \u2014 people who think that being American only means looking a certain way, sounding a certain way, singing a certain way, dancing a certain way. Puerto Ricans have been natural-born citizens of the United States since 1917.”<\/p>\n

“The Latino community is the fastest growing fan base in the NFL,” Navarro continued. “I hate to break it to the racists, but not only are you going to have to watch Bad Bunny at the halftime show \u2014 you can turn it off \u2014 but you\u2019ll have to deal with the fact that probably the first pick in the upcoming NFL draft is a guy named Fernando Mendoza!”<\/p>\n

She concluded, “I don\u2019t care what they do. If you want to watch Kid Rock, go at it. If, you know, you want to watch the guy with no Grammys instead of the guy with 18 Grammys, go at it. If you want to watch the guy who is hot \u2014 Bad Bunny \u2014 or the guy who is not, go at it.”<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re not going to take one iota of joy away from the Latino community and from everybody in this country who is open to culture, is open to music, is open to having music being unifying,” Navarro added. “And this is such a significant moment for the Latino community that has been under attack, and so we\u2019re going to celebrate it, and we don\u2019t care what you all are doing.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
