    Er..... no. It was the reporter who declared they were saying "Let's Go Brandon" despite anyone with ears being able to tell otherwise. Not the driver.

    But let's face it, this has been old Joe's singular achievement so far. He has united the country as promised. You can go to virtually any big event now and folks will spontaneously break into chants of either the original "Foxtrot Juliett Bravo" or the "Let's go Brandon" version. Even Trump couldn't muster this sort of unified animosity.

    Btw, rumor has it that at BYU the crowd was chanting "Let's fudge Biden."
    At this point, it's clear the expression is being used as a disguised f-bomb, which is an automatic 5-pointer, last I checked. It's just as clear that it's only the right fringe using the expression. That fringe has certainly grown, as evident from KG's mic drop, but they're still the alternative facts folks.

And at this point, it seems clear that evidence of fraud is not going to be documented to his satisfaction (even the Cyber Ninjas audit did not find what he was looking for).
    That's not a call to boycott but rather a prediction.

    Agreed. The statement was made on Trump's official website, link below.

    So I'm calling the claim Fake News.

    Let's go Brandon!

    That would be pretty dastardly if they actually made up something he said and put in direct quotes. That would be a new low.

    For some reason, my browser is stalling at the site, so I can't read the article.

    So I don't have an opinion.

    Careful, or you'll be accused of having TDS.

    OK, somebody needs to check for poisonous gas or something coming from the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office....

    Biden is nuttier than a fruitcake, and so is Trump. Or maybe it's the water in DC.

    Could this be a sign that he doesn't plan on running in 2024?
    It is a very selfish proposition. He assumes he won the 2020 election, so unless he gets his way and has the election delegitimized in some fashion, he wants to disrupt his party and their agenda. Not very impressive.
