Everyone is talking about what happened at half-time that the TV cameras didn’t show

The Super Bowl is one of America’s most-watched events, so it’s no surprise the pro-Palestine crowd would want to steal some of that attention for themselves.

Targeting the halftime show, a pro-Palestinian protester hopped onto the field and made it near the stage where Kendrick Lamar was performing. He was even able to unfurl a flag before being taken down by security.

Watch:

This unwelcome interruption directly contrasted with President Donald Trump’s message of unity published prior to the Super Bowl game’s kickoff.

As BizPac Review previously reported, Trump used the moment to remind all Americans that despite all the efforts to divide them, events like the Super Bowl bring people together for a common purpose: Celebrating greatness.

“Football is America’s most popular sport – for good reason – it fosters a sense of national unity, bringing families, friends, and fans together and strengthening communities.  This annual tradition transcends our differences and personifies our shared patriotic values of family, faith, and freedom heroically defended by our military service members, law enforcement officers, and first responders. We value their devotion to protecting our great Nation and salute their selfless service,” he wrote.

“This year, the Super Bowl returns to the Caesars Superdome for a record-setting 8th time.  While thousands of fans from across our Nation gather in New Orleans to cheer on their favorite team, we remember that 14 families will be missing a loved one who was tragically murdered during a senseless terrorist attack while celebrating the New Year on Bourbon Street.  Our thoughts are also with the 35 individuals injured during the attack whose lives were changed forever that fateful night, and our prayers will remain with them for continued strength, comfort, and healing,” Trump said. “Tonight, we look forward to a terrific game and the crowning of the Super Bowl Champions. Melania joins me in sending our best wishes for a great Super Bowl Sunday. May the best team win, and may God bless you, your family, and the United States of America.”
