Last week, Bad Bunny spoke on the backlash during his SNL appearance, where he delivered half of his monologue in Spanish, and then added in English, seemingly as a dig to the Fox News crowd, "If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn."
Well, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson was recently asked his thoughts on the NFL's decision to choose the Puerto Rican artist as headliner for one of America's biggest stages, and his response is going viral.
"I didn't even know who Bad Bunny was, but it sounds like a terrible decision in my view," Johnson told reporters.

"How come?" one reporter asked, to which Johnson responded, "Well, it sounds like he's not someone who appeals to a broader audience."

"And I think, you know, there's so many eyes on the Super Bowl. A lot of young, impressionable children. And I think, you know, in my view, you would have Lee Greenwood or role models doing that. Not somebody like this."
