Republican Rep. Randy Fine of Florida sparked controversy after

condemning Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show, calling it “disgusting” and “illegal.”

Fine argued that profanity and explicit content aired during the performance violated

federal broadcast standards and claimed that similar language in English would have led to fines.

He said his office would contact the FCC to seek penalties involving the NFL, NBC, and the artist.

Other conservatives echoed the criticism. Rep. Andy Ogles labeled the performance “pure smut,” accusing it

of exposing children to explicit sexual content and calling for a congressional inquiry into the broadcast.

The backlash escalated online, with some critics using extreme rhetoric, despite Bad Bunny being a U.S. citizen.

Language also became a focal point. Rep. Maria Salazar argued that a Spanish-language performance without subtitles was “exclusive” and failed to unite viewers.

Democrats pushed back. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez praised Bad Bunny in Spanish,

while media reactions split, with Megyn Kelly criticizing the show and Piers Morgan defending it, noting the U.S. has no official language.
