Conservatives melted down over Kendrick Lamar’s performance at the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday.
Some of President Donald Trump’s MAGA acolytes said they couldn’t understand what the Grammy Award-winning musician was rapping about during his set. Others suggested he was somehow in league with the devil.
Ben Shapiro referenced Trump’s response last week to an Afghan reporter, whose accent the president purportedly didn’t understand, when he wrote on social media: “Actually, it’s a beautiful voice and a beautiful accent. The only problem is, I can’t understand a word you’re saying. But I just say this: good luck, live in peace.”
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) asked if she was “the only one needing subtitles for this!!” Former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) called the show “absolute TRASH.”
Commentators Eric Daugherty and Benny Johnson, meanwhile, called the show “Black nationalist” and Lamar a “mumbling pagan Satanic cultist.”
