Kash Patel's girlfriend says Republicans need 'better messaging' as Democrats embrace Bad Bunny

FBI Director Kash Patel’s girlfriend, country musician Alexis Wilkins, said the GOP needs “better messaging,” with Democrats embracing Puerto Rican rapper and superstar Bad Bunny and his recent Super Bowl performance.

In response to a post from the Democratic Party’s official account on the social platform X celebrating Bad Bunny’s halftime performance and calling it an “All-American halftime with Bad Bunny,” Wilkins said the post’s branding was “fantastic.”

“Unpopular: Republicans need to unite and get on better messaging because this branding is fantastic and allows all dems to get behind it. Also – super aesthetic,” she said on social media Sunday night.

On Sunday, President Trump said the Puerto Rican rapper’s halftime show, which took place during Sunday’s match-up between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots, was “one of the worst.”

better performers, talented artists. The Bad Bunny production was a masterclass, not only the people performing the material, but those behind the scenes who worked on the show, unseen people who are-like Bad Bunny and the rest of the performers-serious, professional and competent.

Meanwhile the calamity of the Rob Ritchie performance literally looked like amateur hour. Juxtaposing the two is breathtaking.

Though the real answer here is musical or artistic competence is not a requirement. It's the same reason the Trump regime is full of incompetent boobs, who are not qualified for the positions they hold. They get those positions for one reason: Loyalty to Trump.

And Kid Rock has been as vocal of a supporter in the "arts" community as there exist, so naturally he was giving the gig to close the show and for no other reason. His skill or competence were not at issue here.

Meanwhile the "untalented" Bruce Springsteen sees something happened and within hours pens a song that goes to #1. When it comes to art, music, entertainment, the Republicans are not only bad at it all, they are a literal laughingstock.
