I’m assuming by now that you’ve all heard about the newest chant at public gatherings, including college and NFL football games, MLB playoff games, a boxing match, the Ryder Cup golf tournament and at Trump rallies across the country. What started as a vulgar expression of contempt for Resident Biden earlier in September took on new life when a NBC reporter was interviewing Brandon Brown, the winner of the Talladega NASCAR Xfinity Series race.
As you can plainly hear, the fans are chanting “F*** Joe Biden in the background,” but reporter Kelli Stavast says they are chanting “Let’s go Brandon!” This is either an honest misunderstanding (yeaahh no) or an incredibly agile attempt to salvage the interview by gaslighting the public.
Either way, “Let’s go Brandon!” has become an viral sensation because it mocks the fake news media while shrewdly replacing the ribald chant with a non-offensive phrase that everyone knows is a euphemism for the original.
It’s shown up everywhere, including a billboard:
a paging system at a major airport,
and, of course, in America’s paper of record:
Love it or leave it, the chant shows the pluck of Normal Americans who resent the cultural elite’s ignorance, incompetence and destruction of America as founded. It’s poking them in the eye and it’s funny.
For now.
I still think you should have plenty of ammo on hand, so get busy.
