California Governor Gavin Newsom's official press office X account mocked MAGA's reaction to Bad Bunny being announced as the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show headliner.
MAGA supporters expressed outrage over the Puerto Rican singer's selection, citing his past instance of dressing in drag and his critical stance on US immigration policies.
Newsom's team posted a picture appearing to show Vice President JD Vance in a blonde wig and eyeliner, sarcastically captioning it to ridicule the boycott calls against Bad Bunny.
The image of Vance, which circulated during the 2024 presidential election, was reportedly taken during his time as a student at Yale, with a source confirming it was a 'bad wig at a party'.
Bad Bunny, one of the world's most-streamed artists, previously dressed in drag for his 2020 music video 'Yo Perreo Sola' to show support, and recently avoided including the US on his tour due to concerns about ICE.
