"It was disgusting and should never be on television again."
American conservative lawmakers demanded a federal investigation into Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show — and in vain. The Federal Communications Commission determined that the Puerto Rican star's performance did not violate any rules.
The reaction to Bad Bunny's historic performance at the Super Bowl shows no signs of fading: certain political circles in the U.S. seem unable to come to terms with the fact that the halftime show was entirely in Spanish. Or with how terrible the alternative MAGA show was.
After Donald Trump once again complained about the show, several Republican congressmen called for an investigation, accusing the Puerto Rican superstar of potentially violating broadcasting decency standards — despite the fact that he cut or softened the most explicit lines from his songs.
Conservative Congressman Andy Oules demanded a federal investigation into Bad Bunny's "explicit and obscene" Super Bowl halftime show. In an open letter to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, Oules insisted on a "formal investigation in Congress" regarding the National Football League and NBCUniversal for airing the rapper's performance, as he was outraged by the performance of Bad Bunny's track "Safaera," which he criticized for its "graphic content, including references to anilingus, sexual acts, and other explicit themes."
In another letter, this time to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr, Republican Congressman from Florida Randy Fine wrote: "What Americans saw during the Super Bowl halftime show featuring Bad Bunny was disgusting and should never be on television again... In America, our laws are not recommendations, and regardless of what foreign language you speak, you are obligated to follow them.
