Laura Loomer, a notable right-wing activist and staunch supporter of Donald Trump, has voiced strong criticism regarding the upcoming Super Bowl performances. Her comments were made on X, where she expressed her disappointment with the lineup.
Controversial Performances Criticized by Loomer
Loomer specifically targeted several elements, including the rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” often referred to as the Black National Anthem. This song has featured at Super Bowl pre-game events since 2021 and was performed by Coco Jones.
Furthermore, Loomer took issue with Green Day, labeling them as “Trump haters.” The punk rock band has been vocal about their opposition to the Trump administration, with lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong altering lyrics during concerts to convey his disdain.
Specific Remarks on Performers
- Loomer referred to Bad Bunny as the “Puerto Rican flamer,” referencing a controversial incident where the artist allegedly burned the U.S. flag during a previous concert.
- She claimed, “Super Bowl LX already sucks,” indicating her disappointment ahead of the event.
Response from Other Figures
Loomer’s negative sentiments resonate with a portion of the MAGA supporters who are contemplating boycotting the halftime show. Some, like Jake Paul, have explicitly called for a boycott on X, while others, including Logan Paul, have shown general disinterest in the event.
Notably, former President Trump has also announced that he will not watch the Super Bowl halftime show.
Entering Super Bowl LX
In contrast to the controversy, Charlie Puth performed the national anthem, accompanying Fred Beam before the game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks commenced.
As anticipation builds, it remains to be seen how the halftime show will unfold amid this backdrop of criticism and dissent.
