Mockery abounds as 'All-American Halftime Show' faces technical difficulties
Mockery abounded on Sunday night after a conservative advocacy organization announced its "All-American Halftime Show" was facing technical difficulties ahead of airtime.
Turning Point USA, the group founded by the late activist Charlie Kirk, announced that "licensing restrictions" were preventing its halftime show featuring Kid Rock from appearing on X, which is owned by President Donald Trump's ally Elon Musk. The show was organized in response to the Super Bowl LX halftime show featuring Bad Bunny, a Puerto Rican artist who will perform entirely in Spanish.
"Due to licensing restrictions, we are unable to stream The All-American Halftime Show on X," the organization posted on X. "Head on over to our YouTube channel tonight around 8PM ET to watch the full show."
Political analysts and observers didn't hold back in their reactions.
"No one is watching that s---," political commentator Tony Tony Posnanski posted on X.
"Hahaha," Rep. Malcom Kenyatta, a Democratic state representative in Pennsylvania, posted on X.
"OH GOD IT'S PERFECT," writer Alheli Picazo posted on X.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA," political analyst Matt Corridoni posted on X.
