@tallnate: October 4, 2025 — Kristi Noem, now serving as Secretary of Homeland Security, went viral this week after attacking the NFL’s decision to feature Bad Bunny as the upcoming Super Bowl halftime performer. During an appearance on The Benny Show, hosted by Benny Johnson, Noem said, “They suck and we’ll win and God will bless us and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day and they won’t be able to sleep at night because they don’t know what they believe and they’re so weak. We’ll fix it.” Her comments quickly drew backlash for being incoherent and racially charged, especially since Bad Bunny, born in Puerto Rico, is himself an American citizen. Multiple verified outlets including The Guardian, Fox News, and Entertainment Weekly confirmed the accuracy of the quote, though no full transcript of the interview has been released. The viral clip originated from The Benny Show, hosted by Benny Johnson—a media personality previously fired from BuzzFeed in 2014 for plagiarism.

Bad Bunny also performed in 2020 in the Super Bowl with J Lo and Shakira

Ebie :

That was a threat to the NFL.

MrsPink 🥔 :

They complained last year because oh nooos the rap music! Oh noos a black mermaid!! Oh noos Beyoncé sang country…( a literal country texas born woman… ummm duhhh) Just say you only like YT people and stop pretending its something else.

BethAnne :

It’s rediculous, isn’t it? RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!👍💜

spoiledboomer :

These people are so disgusting. They are so unhappy living in a diverse country, they really should consider moving to a white only country so they can be left alone with their hate and racism. There are more of us than them who believe in freedom, diversity, and democracy.

uthighking4 :

Bad Bunny speaks much better English than this feckless ghoul. Literally….WHAT?!?

God who? :

With everything that’s going on the republicans choose this as an actual issue to spend time on. Kids being shot in school! The list! Homeless children! Gaza! Armed forces in our cities! Healthcare for all! Guns! Raising prices! Loss of our freedoms!

Yes one if the trams will win. I definitely agree with that part. But don’t understand the rest 🤣😂

19Vikings :

Why in the hell does the government even care who sings at the Superbowl? Since when is it a government issue? 🙄 It’s a private corporation, the NFL.
