There are plenty of great bands and entertainment people who could be playing at that show that would be bringing people together and not separating them,” Lewandowski said. Dismissing Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio’s Super Bowl headlining act next year, the Trump advisor claimed:“There is nowhere you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally. Not the Super Bowl and nowhere else. We will find you and apprehend you and put you in a detention facility and deport you.”Meanwhile, Corey Lewandowski’s remarks comes just three days after it was announced that the Dákiti hitmaker would take the stage at the Big Game next year.
