Grammy Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning artist Kendrick Lamar performed the halftime show at Sunday night’s Super Bowl LIX showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. It was a celebration of Black culture, but one host of The View thinks it could be the last time we see a Black Super Bowl halftime performer under Donald Trump.
During Monday’s episode of The View on ABC, host Ana Navarro predicted that Donald Trump will sign an executive order banning Black people from performing at halftime following the performance from Kendrick Lamar on Sunday.
“You know I don’t do sports, you know I don’t do football, so I wasn’t watching the game,” Navarro said to kick off her rant on Monday, according to Mediate. “But listen, I think today Donald Trump is going to sign an executive order banning Black people from halftime!”
Navarro seemed to think that the halftime performance included far too many Black people for Trump’s liking.
“Because you remember last week we were talking about whether the NFL was capitulating to Trump by removing the term ‘End Racism’ from the end zone? Boy, did they not capitulate to Trump. When I saw Samuel L. Jackson dressed as a Black Uncle Sam, introducing Kendrick Lamar, who then had like an entire formation of all Black people making a U.S. flag – listen!” she continued.
Navarro went on to say that the racist NFL fans were “hopping mad” about the performance while she was “happy as a clam.”
“This much I know, all the Black people on my feed were like, ‘Oooo, this is blackity, black, black!’ And all the racists who somehow get in? Man, where they hopping mad. So if the racists are mad, I am happy as a clam!” she said.
Donald Trump was in attendance at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, but he did not comment on Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance.
