"Megan McCain did not share the same outrage expressed by her fellow conservatives over Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show. Since the announcement that the Puerto Rican star would be headlining the show months, conservatives have repeatedly voice their disapproval. On the night of the actual show, those same voices predictably panned the performance. Many of them were upset that the entire set was done in Spanish, with some even declaring that ICE should have descended on the Levi's Stadium to harass the performers on the field. Others opted to avoid the show altogether by instead tuning into Turning Point USA's alternate show headlined by Kid Rock."
"I'm sorry but I just genuinely question your taste level if you didn't enjoy the Bad Bunny halftime show, she said. And everything in life doesn't have to be ruined with politics.

"The most politically charged musical performance came two days earlier at a pre-Super Bowl party. There, Green Day lead singer Billy Joel Armstrong called out ICE and even referenced the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein debacle."
Meghan McCain defended enjoying Bad Bunny's Spanish-language Super Bowl halftime show and criticized fellow conservatives who politicized reactions. Conservatives had criticized the headlining choice and panned the performance, with many upset the set was entirely in Spanish and some suggesting ICE should harass performers. Some conservatives avoided NBC's show and watched an alternate Turning Point USA broadcast featuring Kid Rock. McCain tweeted that she questioned the taste of those who did not enjoy the performance and said not everything must be ruined by politics. A separate pre-Super Bowl party featured Green Day's Billy Joel Armstrong calling out ICE and referencing the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
