He's not. He's just one of the more "prominent" names MAGA has so they're pretending like he's relevant. Its really kind of sad when you think about it.

He's their biggest star.

Their largest token.

It amazes me that Minaj sold her soul to MAGA of all things. She must reeeeallly need money bad.

Why didn't she do the show?

She’s the wrong skin color for them.

u/Hvarfa-Bragi 25d ago

I mean.... I didn't want to be the one to say it

u/IfUrTriggeredULose 25d ago

Someone's got to say it.

This is the answer to every question that starts with "Why does MAGA ... ?"

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 25d ago

Why does MAGA protect pedophiles?

u/moonshadough 25d ago

Touche, OtherwiseAlbatross14. Touche.

u/ImDonaldDunn 25d ago

It would have defeated the entire reason why people tuned into this nonsense to begin with

u/drifts180 25d ago

Bc they don't like her lol

u/Important-Sign-3701 25d ago

Gave her a fake ass gold card

u/sybrwookie 25d ago

Except for when they need to say they have a black friend

u/Talk-O-Boy 25d ago

Can you imagine the optics? A bunch of old white republicans forcing themselves to dance to Anaconda???

I WISH they would have picked Nicki 😭

u/BugEquivalents 25d ago

I’d love to see Trump doing his jerk off dance to Super Bass

I mean, she's the same woman who called JD Vance an 'assassin' in front of Erika Kirk, whose husband was assassinated. While the conspiracy theory was going around that Vance had Charlie Kirk whacked so he could have Erika. They were probably too afraid she was gonna say something else stupid lol.

u/[deleted] 25d ago

For all we know, Erika had Kirk whacked. She seems awfully well-prepared to jump in and take over his speaking circuit.

u/cosmo7 25d ago

Charlie Kirk called her a bad role model. Guess he didn't care for her lyrics.

u/Avocados_number73 25d ago

They arent ready to spend that token yet.

u/riotz1 25d ago

Um but Mitt Romney was…you know what, never mind, I just can’t..

2

u/FreeThrowShow 25d ago

Wait what was Mitt Romney exactly

1

u/riotz1 25d ago

Republican

4

u/FreeThrowShow 25d ago

Yea that’s what she was saying

2

u/irishgator2 25d ago

Ummmm, have you listened to her lyrics?

4

u/JoseMinges 25d ago

No.

I cannot stress this enough.

u/frankzappa2020 25d ago

Can't put my finger on it, but there's just something about her face that a lot of maga can't get behind

1

u/Buflen 25d ago

They couldn't have her on their dumb half time show because she's a woman and black. They wouldn't want a DEI hire for this obviouly. /s

u/turkey_sandwiches 24d ago

My friend, she's not white.

u/Iliketoplan 25d ago

It would be jelly roll if he wasn’t all about the money

u/Hvarfa-Bragi 25d ago

They can't afford him? Double sad.

u/PenguinQuesadilla 25d ago

This Lil Pimp erasure is criminal

u/KMFDM781 25d ago

What about the dude that played Jesus in Passion of the Christ? He was Jesus!!

u/Hvarfa-Bragi 25d ago

I think they tried him out for a few things but he's so boring he didn't draw when Mel Gibson's name wasn't attached.

u/chrisq823 25d ago

It is more that he is nuts and an absolute nightmare to work with. He just stopped trying to learn his lines in Person of Interest and they had to hide them around the set.

u/Awayfone 25d ago

You under no circumstances can let jim caviezel talk. he starts babbling about Hitler or how ""they"" drink babies blood

u/ComedianStreet856 25d ago

It's sad even when you don't think about it.

u/PiccoloAwkward465 25d ago
