\n\tTennessee Rep. Andy Ogles lashed out at Bad Bunny<\/a>\u2018s history-making Super Bowl LX halftime show<\/a> on Monday (Feb. 9), calling the singer\u2019s record-setting performance \u201cpure smut, brazenly aired on national television<\/a> for every American family to witness.\u201d The conservative congressman wrote, that \u201cchildren were forced to endure explicit displays of gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry-humping the air.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe shocked response to what has been reported as the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show in history, with more than 135 million people tuning in, has drawn ire from a number of conservative voices, including Donald Trump. In a counterpoint to Benito\u2019s set, which carried a message of unity, love, respect and togetherness<\/a>, Trump called the halftime show \u201cabsolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER<\/a>,\u201d while condemning it as \u201can affront to the Greatness of America.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tIn his post, Ogles claimed that Benito\u2019s set \u201copenly glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities,\u201d saying that such \u201cflagrant, indecent acts are illegal to be displayed on public airways.\u201d Because of his upset, Ogles said he is requesting that the Energy and Commerce Committee launch a formal congressional inquiry into the NFL and NBC for what he described as \u201ctheir prior knowledge, deliberate approval and facilitation of this indecent broadcast.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAt press time spokespeople for NBC and the NFL had not returned Billboard<\/em>\u2018s request for comment on Ogles\u2019 post. <\/p>\n \n\tOgles\u2019 letter to the House committee referenced the lyrics to two songs in Benito\u2019s set, which was the first-ever performed almost entirely in Spanish, \u201cSafaera\u201d and \u201cYo Perreo Sola,\u201d which he said included sexual content that would be \u201creadily apparent across any language barrier.\u201d Although the Puerto Rican superstar did perform part of both songs \u2014 whose recorded versions do include explicit sexual lyrics \u2014\u00a0he skipped the most controversial lines during the halftime set.<\/p>\n \n\tOgles added, \u201cthese flagrant, indecent acts are illegal to be displayed on public airways. American culture will not be mocked or corrupted without consequence.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn addition, a fellow Republican congressman, Florida Rep. Randy Fine, wrote on X on Monday that Benito\u2019s \u201cdisgusting halftime show was illegal<\/a>.\u201d He also mused that \u201chad he said these lyrics,\u201d in reference to the original, NSFW lyrics to both in their recorded versions that were not sung, \u201cand all of the other disgusting and pornographic filth in English on live TV, the broadcast would have been pulled down and the fines would have been enormous.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tGiven the tremendous pushback from some in the MAGAverse who attempted to other Bad Bunny by claiming he was not American \u2014\u00a0despite Puerto Rico being a U.S. territory and its citizens being American citizens \u2014\u00a0Fine wrote \u201cPuerto Ricans are Americans and we all live by the same rules,\u201d ending his note with a familiar MAGA refrain: \u201clock them up.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tConversely, at the MAGA-approved conservative Christian organization Turning Point USA counterprogramming livestream featuring friend of Trump Kid Rock found the rapper-turned-rocker-turned country crooner singing about \u201ctopless dancers,\u201d crackheads, his \u201cheroes in the Methadone clinics,\u201d the \u201cbastards at the IRS\u201d and \u201ccrooked cops,\u201d in addition to lines about taking shots of Jack and \u201ccaps of meth,\u201d as well as \u201chookers all trickin\u2019 out in Hollywood\u201d during his performance of his breakthrough 1999 single \u201cBawitdaba.\u201d<\/p>\n
