Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX halftime show may have been brimming with popular music, Easter eggs, and celebrity cameos, but not everyone was a fan.

In The Daily Show clip above, Jon Stewart discusses the right's reaction to the show, from the Kid Rock-fronted alternative event to right-wing pundits complaining that they could have found someone "more uniting".

"Why the f*** is it the Super Bowl halftime entertainer's job to unify the country?" asks Stewart. "In what world is that their job? Oh, isn't there another person whose job description is much more along those lines?"

Stewart goes on to share Donald Trump's Truth Social reaction to the performance, in which he called Bad Bunny "absolutely terrible".

"You know, the right has a lot of balls, complaining that Bad Bunny didn't do enough to unify this country, when you only found out a few days ago that Puerto Rico's a part of it," says Stewart. "And before you get your panties in una torsión, a unifying pro tip might be to tell your guy to stop tweeting out racist slop during, I don't know, Black History Month."
