A former NBC football reporter who is running to be Minnesota’s Republican Senate candidate was mocked online for an admission she made in a social media post about the Super Bowl halftime show.
Michele Tafoya took to X on Sunday to let her followers know she would be focused on something else besides Bad Bunny’s performance during the halftime show.

This is the second time Tafoya has made an out-of-touch statement on social media. The first was last month when she announced her candidacy with a video, and she suggested with a straight face that walking the NFL sidelines taught her leadership. Needless to say, she was raked over the coals.
