Rep. Shri Thanedar on GOP outrage over Bad Bunny Super Bowl performance

Published | Video Starts at 01:25

And because Bear Bunny came out as anti ice and made those comments at the Grammys, do you think it still was appropriate to have someone like him at the halftime show after taking such a public stance on a controversial issue? Well, look, First Amendment is a First Amendment right.

Bad Bunny was good. I thought the super bowl was bad, though. I wish it was more exciting than that. (01:25–01:39)
