'Get some therapy': MS NOW panel laughs off GOP threat to investigate Bad Bunny

A proposal by House Republicans to investigate the halftime entertainment at the recently concluded Super Bowl drew laughter and rolled eyes on MS NOW on Wednesday morning.

During a Tuesday interview on Real America's Voice, Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO) explained that House Republicans are "investigating" Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show because they feel it was "much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction."

“I saw the halftime show, and we're switching back and forth with the TPUSA halftime show. They, the lyrics from what we have seen, from Bad Bunny are very disturbing,” he insisted.

Reporting on the Republicans latching onto conservative anger of the halftime show because it was in Spanish, the panel on “Morning Joe,” suggested the conservative outrage was both racist and performative before adding the Republicans need a reality check.

“Congressman Mark Alford of Missouri told a conservative outlet yesterday, House Republicans already are investigating,” co-host Willie Geist reported before joking, “The Bad Bunny halftime show did not provide any details. There has yet to be an official confirmation of any congressional probe. As we know, Mika, their constituents sent them to Washington to do the important business of investigating bad bunnies."

As the panel laughed, co-host Brzezinski sarcastically added, “I'm just curious, because was — at the alternative — Was it Kid Rock? Is that him? Kid Rock, he's still on, right? So he's at the alternative, right? And are they investigating his lyrics about, you know, I think he had some lyrics in his songs, not that he performed on stage there, but the person they chose for their alternative event has written songs about, well, you could read them in the Epstein files, something about young girls and statutory and like — really?”

“I feel badly for them,“ contributor Mike Barnicle contributed.

“They're trying to get some therapy,” Brzezinski replied.

“They've never been outdoors in America,” Barnicle joked.

"And also just work on the fact that it's not just white blonde people that are to be served at the Super Bowl halftime show,” Brzezinski continued, taking a jab at far-right podcaster Megyn Kelly who had a meltdown over the performance. “It is supposed to be unifying, and you got to have an open mind and love all people in order to be able to enjoy something that is so beautiful and colorful. It's kind of sad how small and simple and stupid and old and completely decrepit this sort of alternative thinking is that this halftime show somehow was an insult.”
