WASHINGTON, DC: FBI Director Kash Patel’s girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, is urging Republicans to sharpen their messaging against Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show.

Her comments come after a Democratic official’s X post praised the performance as an “All-American halftime with Bad Bunny,” which Wilkins called “fantastic.”

Alexis Wilkins warns of midterm risks for Republicans



After the Democratic Party’s official X account celebrated Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance as an “All‑American halftime with Bad Bunny,” Alexis Wilkins responded by praising the branding as “fantastic.” 

On Sunday night, she took to social media to argue that “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."

When another X user challenged her remarks, Wilkins clarified in a follow‑up tweet that she hadn’t actually watched the show and wasn’t commenting on the performance itself. 

“My point is — I didn’t watch it. I offer 0 commentary on the show itself,” she explained. “The Dems were smart with public branding and cosplaying as America fans, which means they’re trying to gain moderate ground again. And the right does need to unite. The content is not good I agree.”

In a separate post, she reiterated, “I didn’t watch the show. I couldn’t be more conservative if I tried. My point is simple — this is decent branding and the Democrats all get behind it. They pretend to like America because it wins moderates and Hispanic voters.”

She concluded by warning that the right needs unity heading into the midterms.

“I’m worried about the midterms. I’m worried that the left is pretending to be moderate to gain ground and optics like this do just that. If Bad Bunny came out in a dress and was anti‑ICE I wouldn’t be so worried — but he didn’t. The right needs to unite to combat this but we’re too busy yelling at each other. (Not us :) but the collective).”

She continued, "We have to be mindful to unite as the right (clearly this is not our strong suit) and recognize that Dems in office is worse than anything the right could ever produce in office."

"I'm looking at optics and I see the left performing as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. We all thought Bad Bunny was going to come out in a dress that said ICE OUT - but he didn’t. This would’ve all been easier to message if he did. They’re pulling the unity trope and we can’t let them have it," she concluded.



Trump blasts Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance

On Sunday, February 8, President Trump slammed Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show during the Seattle Seahawks vs. New England Patriots matchup, calling it “one of the worst.” 

On his Truth Social platform, he wrote, “The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of success, creativity, or excellence.” 



He added, “Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children watching from across the U.S.A. and around the world.”
