Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Monday urged Congress to make English the official language of the United States in response to comments made by Bad Bunny, who urged Americans to learn Spanish ahead of his planned Super Bowl 60 halftime performance next year.
Greene called for congressional action in a post on X.
“Bad Bunny says America has four months to learn Spanish before his evil and unwanted Super Bowl halftime performance,” she wrote.

“Now would be a good time to pass my bill to make English America’s official language,” she continued. “And the NFL needs to stop having demonic sexual performances during its halftime shows.”
The selection of Bad Bunny, one of the world’s most popular entertainers, to headline the halftime show drew fierce criticism from some conservatives.
The Reggaeton star previously said he would not tour the US due to concerns his fans could be targeted in immigration raids at his shows.

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, addressed his planned performance during his monologue while hosting “Saturday Night Live” guests last weekend.
“I’m really excited to do the Super Bowl. I know people around the world who love my music are happy too,” he said, before teasing his critics in Spanish.

“If you don’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn,” he joked.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March 2025 designating English as the official language of the United States. The order officially declares English as the country’s official language at the federal level.
