Joe Scarborough had a meltdown over evangelical Franklin Graham’s praise of the TPUSA alternative halftime show featuring Kid Rock.
Graham took to social media on Thursday to share the message of TPUSA’s alternative to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, which had outraged conservatives since its announcement. He accused the NFL’s performances of “pushing moral boundaries” and becoming “more sexualized.” Meanwhile, he praised TPUSA and Erika Kirk specifically for “providing an alternative—’ The All-American Halftime Show’ with the agenda of celebrating family, faith, and freedom.”
Look:
Like most Americans, I’ve enjoyed watching the Super Bowl. But the halftime shows began pushing moral boundaries and have become more and more sexualized. This year, they’re having Bad Bunny perform. The @NFL leadership is pushing this sexualized agenda. Thank you, @TPUSA and…

Scarborough didn’t take too kindly to this, pointing out that “The All-American Halftime Show” featured Kid Rock, who rapped about some questionable things decades ago.
Watch:
“Speaking of not taking the debate, there were some people on the MAGA right who took the bait. Well, 133 million people have watched Bad Bunny go out and just completely own the field, the stage, the country, the world. Lady Gaga comes in. This was a pretty extraordinary statement. Ricky Martin,” Scarborough gushed. “It was the 133 million people watching this instead of alternative programing where they had a guy performing, who of course, throughout his career his has preached the glories of- Franklin Graham, I guess likes this because he said it was a god and country thing, but a guy who has preached the glories of having sex with underage girls and setting up escort services atop the Four Season, cowboy.”
“But here Bad Bunny came out and, Rev., Yeah. Oh, there we go, “young ladies, young ladies. I like him underage. Say some say that statutory.” Kid Rock enjoying this, there’s Franklin Graham underneath. You know the false, the just, the self-righteousness, the posing. That’s all a sham. All in defense of a corrupt, corrupt regime and an immoral, corrupt regime. And the people in that regime, it seems a lot of the members of the Epstein class, either members of the Epstein class, as Jon Ossoff said this weekend, or defenders of the Epstein class, and protectors of the Epstein class and protectors of the Epstein files. And that’s who Franklin Graham is getting self-righteous for?” he asked at the end of his screed.
