Turning Point USA has unveiled plans for an "All American Halftime Show," designed to offer a patriotic alternative to the upcoming Super Bowl halftime performance by Bad Bunny.
The announcement comes in response to the artist's previous remarks about avoiding the United States on his recent tour. "Its true, Turning Point USA is thrilled to announce The All American Halftime Show. Performers and event details coming soon," the organization shared on X.
As reported by The Post Millennial, Jack Posobiec, host of Human Events Daily, expressed his excitement about the event, stating, "I've had to keep quiet about this all week And now it's finally official The TPUSA All American Halftime Show is happening."
The announcement was accompanied by a form from TPUSA, inviting individuals to sign up for updates and provide their musical preferences, with an inclusive option of "anything in English."
Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez, is set to headline the Super Bowl halftime show in February. His decision to bypass the United States during his 2025 to 2026 tour was attributed to concerns over President Donald Trump's immigration policies. Martinez previously remarked, "People from the US could come here to see the show. Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here, or to any part of the world. But there was the issue that ... ICE could be outside (my concert venue). And it's something that we were talking about and very concerned about."
Martinez's actions have sparked controversy, particularly among those who view his behavior as disrespectful to the United States. Notably, he remained seated during a performance of "God Bless America" at Yankee Stadium, while others stood in respect. Furthermore, he has challenged Americans to learn Spanish within four months in preparation for his halftime performance.
The announcement of Turning Point USA's halftime show underscores a broader cultural divide, as it seeks to celebrate American values and traditions in contrast to Martinez's perceived disregard for the nation. This initiative aligns with conservative principles, emphasizing patriotism and a commitment to honoring the country's heritage.
