Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel swiped at liberals during his monologue Monday night for their sudden Bad Bunny fandom ahead of and following the Super Bowl halftime show.
While discussing Bad Bunny’s performance, Kimmel called the Turning Point USA halftime show a “disaster,” before noting that he wasn’t jumping on the “bandwagon” to criticize the alternative.
“And listen, I’m not jumping on the ‘bash Kid Rock‘ bandwagon. I don’t like what he says either, but he’s talented. I’ve seen him perform; he puts on a fun show. I don’t want to get into that. This is not Kid Rock versus Bad Bunny — I mean, think about how dumb that sounds. This is not that. You can like one of them, you can like the other, you can like neither, you can like both,” he said.
WHY BAD BUNNY’S POLARIZING SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW FELT LIKE A SLAP AT AMERICA
Kimmel continued, pointing to the apparent sudden rise in popularity of Bad Bunny among liberals.
“This is about the fact that everything has to be something now. We have to take a side on everything,” Kimmel said.
“This week, almost every liberal I know is suddenly really into Bad Bunny,” he continued. “I mean, people I’ve never heard say the words ‘bad’ or ‘bunny’ in their lives are like, ‘I can’t wait for Bad Bunny!’ Oh, what’s your favorite Bad Bunny song? ‘I don’t know, but I love him. I love Bad Bunny.'”

Kimmel said he didn’t understand all the words at the Bad Bunny halftime show, which was performed almost entirely in Spanish, and argued that it didn’t matter.
“But that’s the point! It doesn’t matter. It’s the halftime show at a football game. I don’t know all the words. I don’t know all the words to any song. I don’t even know the words to songs I know all the words to,” he said. “So stop with this. This is not about excluding people; it’s the opposite of that. English has had a lot of ‘at-bats’ over the last 60 years of Super Bowls.”
President Donald Trump slammed Bad Bunny’s halftime performance and called it one of the worst “EVER.”

“Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World,” he added.
