A man appeared to sneak into Kendrick Lamar's performance at halftime of Super Bowl LIX. Lamar performed several of his hits, including "Not Like Us," "Be Humble" and "DNA," and he was surrounded by numerous performers. However, the person was able to get onto the field and hold up a Palestinian flag during the show at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

The man was dragged off of the field. The protest took place with Trump in attendance at the game, marking the first time a sitting president has ever attended the Super Bowl.

Nobody could look, because all they see is death and&nbsp;destruction and rubble and demolished buildings falling all over. It's just a terrible, terrible sight."
