Turning Point, the group founded by the late Charlie Kirk, announced Thursday that it will host its own Super Bowl halftime show.
“It’s true, Turning Point USA is thrilled to announce The All American Halftime Show,” Turning Point USA posted on X. “Performers and event details coming soon.”
Trump’s Response
This announcement comes amidst the selection of Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny as the 2026 headliner. Many people in Turning Point USA have voiced their concern of having the artist perform on one of the biggest stages.
Previously Bunny skipped touring the U.S. on his latest tour due to President Donal Trump’s administration’s use of ICE immigration crackdown.
“I don’t know who he is, I don’t know why they’re doing it; it’s crazy,” Trump said in response to Newsmax’s Greg Kelly late Monday about Bad Bunny selection. “Then they blame it on some promoter that they hired to pick up entertainment. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.”
Bad Bunny’s Response
Bunny hosted “Saturday Night Live” on Oct. 4th, where the singer delivered a message in Spanish and then said “If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn.”
Later, it was announced ICE will be in attendance at Bunny’s performance at Super Bowl 2026, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed. Noem added by calling the NFL “weak” and said, “We’ll be all over that place.”
With Turning Point entering the halftime controversy, Bunny’s performance shows no signs of slowing down before kickoff.
