Brian Kilmeade Suggests Super Bowl Halftime Show Featuring ‘Kids in Cages’ Was a Political Hit on Trump

 

Fox & Friends lauded the Super Bowl halftime show Monday morning, giving props to their broadcast family member Fox Sports for featuring Jennifer Lopez and Shakira doing Jennifer Lopez and Shakira-type things. But like any good bit of entertainment, the show was not without a bit of controversy, and Sunday night’s “dance-off” was no exception.

Co-host Brian Kilmeade noted that during a particular transition of the performance, “they have kids that look like they are in cages,” adding, “a lot of people thought is this something going after the [Trump] administration … put kids in cages, and that is what Democrats say about Republicans about their policy.” Here is a screen capture of it:

 

Given that both performers are Latinx stars, whose music has a Latin-flavor [and very broad appeal], the show did seem to be an almost outright appeal by the NFL to the every growing Latin-American demographic. And the visuals of kids in round, cage-like structures are not a stretch.
