Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has renewed her push to make English the official language of the United States after Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny told viewers during his "Saturday Night Live" monologue over the weekend that they had "four months to learn Spanish" before his Super Bowl halftime performance in February.
In a post on X, Greene condemned both the comment and the upcoming halftime show, calling it "perverse" and "unwanted." "Bad Bunny says America has 4 months to learn Spanish before his perverse unwanted performance at the Super Bowl halftime," she wrote.
"It would be a good time to pass my bill to make English the official language of America," she added. "And the NFL needs to stop having demonic sexual performances during its halftime shows."

And the NFL needs to stop having demonic sexual performances…
Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is set to headline the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8, 2026. The announcement has sparked intense backlash among conservatives, who view the selection as politically charged given the artist's criticism of former President Donald Trump and his past remarks on immigration enforcement.
The controversy escalated after Bad Bunny's bilingual "SNL" appearance last weekend, where he addressed his critics directly. "I'm very happy," he said of the halftime opportunity. "And I think everyone is happy about it — even Fox News."
He then spoke in Spanish, thanking Latinos "who have worked to open doors" in the U.S., adding that "no one will ever be able to erase our contribution to this country." Switching back to English, he quipped: "If you didn't understand what I just said, you have four months to learn."
Greene's reaction also revived attention to her English Language Unity Act of 2025, introduced in March and endorsed by President Trump. The bill, co-led by Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-Okla.), would establish English as the official language of the U.S., require all government functions and naturalization ceremonies to be conducted in English, and mandate that citizenship applicants demonstrate the ability to read and understand the nation's founding documents.
At the time of the bill's introduction, Greene said, "Making English the official language of the United States is a critical step in restoring the unity and shared culture that forged our nation." She argued that requiring assimilation "begins with language," and that "a nation that cannot communicate cannot stand united."
