Super Bowl 2022 halftime show: The 5 biggest talking points
Independent
Last night the iconic Super Bowl took place, with the halftime show headlined by artists such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar.
But it seems not everyone was a fan, as right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk said the show was “sexual anarchy” and was duly roasted for his comments.
In a tweet, the 28-year-old Turning Point US founder wrote: “The NFL is now the league of sexual anarchy. This halftime show should not be allowed on television.”
