RK Turning Point USA announces rival Super Bowl halftime show following Bad Bunny controversy…
BAD Bunny’s Super Bowl announcement has left some fans asking for a different choice, and Turning Point USA has decided to put together a rival big-game halftime show.
Turning Point USA – the nonprofit organization created by the late Charlie Kirk and now led by his widow, Erika Kirk, is set to put together an alternative Super Bowl 60 halftime option.
The NFL announced that the Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny would headline the upcoming Super Bowl next February.
However, the decision has been met with criticism due to Bunny recently leaving US venues off his tour schedule.
But those critics can watch Turning Point USA’s own halftime show the same day as the Super Bowl.
The company revealed Thursday its protest, called The All American Halftime Show, will be “celebrating faith, family, and freedom.”

The event’s details have yet to be announced, as the performers have yet to be revealed.
But the website has told fans to sign up for more information and asked what type of music they want to hear.
And one option said, “Anything in English,” a jab at the fact that Bad Bunny performs in Spanish.
Fans have reacted to Turning Point USA’s decision on social media.
