NC senator's Super Bowl post goes viral, crosses party lines

In a Facebook post stretching three times the length of the Gettysburg Address, a North Carolina senator praised Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance as "the most American halftime show I have even seen," an experience that drove him to tears and kept him writing nearly to midnight.

Comments

More: "That is the American story, not the sanitized, gated, English-only version that small and frightened people try to sell us. The REAL one. The messy, beautiful, multilingual, multicolored, courageous one. The one that has always been built by hands that speak every language and pray in every tongue and come from every corner of this hemisphere."

...

"Bad Bunny didn't say ICE out' tonight," Garrett wrote. "He didn't need to. He just showed the whole world what America looks like when we are not afraid of each other. When culture is shared, not policed. When language is music, not a threat. When a flag from every nation in this hemisphere can walk across a football field together and the only words you need are the ones he gave us: The only thing more powerful than hate is love.'"

People should know better than to post drunk. I found the show OK, sort of "meh."

Now, that Janet Jackson Super Bowl show, on the other hand. That's one that will last through the ages.

What can I say? Maybe would have liked it better if Bad Bunny had a nip slip or two.
