'Holy racism you dumb f**k': Left-wing influencer peddles false narrative about Bad Bunny halftime show — and gets obliterated

While many are debating the meaning of the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, at least one left-wing influencer was caught trying to peddle misinformation to rile up both sides.

Ed Krassenstein posted that a little boy included in the show was Liam Ramos, the 5-year-old who was abandoned by his father during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation and became a left-wing cause célèbre.

'Holy racism you dumb f**k. ... Nice self-own.'

"Many of you may have missed this, but the little boy who Bad Bunny handed his Grammy to at the Super Bowl was Liam Ramos! Amazing!" Krassenstein wrote.

The claim was immediately contradicted online, and Krassenstein was mocked and ridiculed for what many saw as a racist suggestion.

"It's not Liam Ramos. This is a child actor named Lincoln Fox," read a community note attached to the post on the X platform. The note linked to an Instagram account for the child actor confirming his presence at the game.

"Leftist thinks all Hispanic kids look the same," podcaster Brittany Hughes joked.

"Pretty racist ... to assume that all brown people are the same and that one kid is the same as another without even checking," one critic said.

"Not only is this wrong, but it's racist. And instead of deleting and posting an update, you're keeping it up because you're desperate for a few bucks," another user said.

"Pretty racist of you to see a little Hispanic boy and assume it's the one little Hispanic boy whose name you know," another popular response reads.

"Holy racism you dumb f**k. All Hispanic kids look the same to you? They're not even the same age or complexion you dips**t. Nice self-own. ... Don't ever preach from your pulpit again, d**khead," another detractor responded.

"It's not the same kid you absolute buffoon. Kid is about 4 inches taller than you though," one user joked.

Krassenstein added a second message saying there were conflicting reports about the child. He eventually admitted the child was an actor but did not delete the first post, which got over 11 million impressions.

A publicist for Bad Bunny rejected the claim to NPR Music and confirmed the boy was an actor.

The halftime show was also criticized by many who were angered that the music artist rapped almost entirely in Spanish, and one brief shot showed two men dancing suggestively with each other.

Turning Point USA's alternative halftime show starring Kid Rock had more than 6.1 million viewers tune in on its YouTube livestream, according to the New York Times.
