Meanwhile, Joe Scarborough shot back, calling the show “a cyber‑surrealistic disaster of cultural fabric,” sparking a heated cable debate that ran through the night.In a different twist, CBS News has been accused of spreading a hoax about Bad Bunny’s performance, claiming the singer turned the set into an ICE protest. The network says it was a misunderstanding and has pulled the segment.
