    Source: Kid’s Father Says ‘Let’s Go Brandon!’ Live on Air During President Biden’s Christmas Calls



    President Joe Biden took it in stride when a parent blurted out “Let’s go Brandon!” during a live broadcast of calls to kids tracking Santa Claus.

    The president and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden called in to Norad in an event that was streamed live, and during which the president and first lady were then connected with parents and kids for brief chats.

    But one parent of four children from Oregon — one of whom was purportedly named Hunter — had a less-than-merry greeting for the president.

    After Biden spoke to each of the children in turn and discussed their Christmas wishes, the father wrapped up the call by saying “I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas as well, Merry Christmas, and then blurted out “Let’s go Brandon!”

    “Let’s go Brandon, I agree,” the president said without missing a beat, and added “Hey, by the way, are you in Oregon?”

    But the caller had disconnected — likely to go collect high-fives from MAGA-hatted brethren. The president continued to take calls, and did not appear to react to the significance of the phrase.

    From the pool reports on the event:

    Next kids they spoke with are in Oregon. First they talked to the dad.

    Griffin, age 11, asked for a piano.

    Another son, Hunter, wants a Nintendo Switch.

    Another child wants a Barbie. FLOTUS said she still has her Barbie- “now ancient Barbie.”

    Penelope, age 2: dad said she’d be happy with anything

    Potus again reminded kids to be in bed by 9:00

    Jared, the dad, said merry Christmas and Let’s Go Brandon. (We are trying to get more on why this happened)

    Potus did not react to the apparent slight, let it slide right by.


    For the uninitiated, the “Let’s go Brandon!” trend originated when some NASCAR fans at Talladega chanted “ smiley bleep.gif Joe Biden” as race winner Brandon Brown gave a post-race interview, the reporter mistook the chant as a show of support for Brown.

    That moment has made “Let’s go Brandon!” a stand-in for the more profane version with opponents of President Joe Biden. But there’s an added dimension. Some conservatives believe that the reporter’s mistake was actually a deliberate and instantaneously-devised effort to cover up what the crowd was really chanting, and use the phrase as a double-edged critique of Biden and the media.

    "Some conservatives" at least give the reporter credit for knowing what was being plainly said and reacting to it but those on the left prefer to think of her as a dumb bimbette incapable of understanding what was happening.

    Old Joe actually played one of the "Let's Go Brandon" songs on stage once. I'm not sure he even knows what it means.

    And as an aside, I'm sick and tired of the "Dr." Jill crap. Some Pennsylvania papers will not refer to Mehmet Oz as "Dr. Oz" any longer as he runs for the Senate because they say it gives him a certain air of gravitas that provides an unfair advantage. But the man IS a surgeon with a PhD. You don't get much more "doctor" than that. But the same papers continue to call the FLOTUS "Dr." in spite of her being an educrat. This has led to dingbats like Whoopie Goldberg, cohost of The View, to have called for her to be made Surgeon General.

Something like -- "A MAGA terrorist got through to the WH and directly threatened the president" type of thing. Because it makes no sense the MSM is highlighting this.

So why would this be a surprise?

    I wonder if CNN, MSNBC, WaPo... have actually fooled anyone with their sudden new-found dismay over the coarseness of political discussion when they were at the forefront for four years defending if not directly cheering on just that sort of behavior.

    One poster at the other board loved that one. Claimed that he used it to highlight the hypocrisy of Donald Trump who called out John Stewart for changing his name and not being proud of his heritage.

    Apparently, having your grandfather change the family name before you were born, being born with the surname trump, and not changing it back, is equivalent to personally changing your own name.


    But, the best part was, the insult was essentially mocking Trump for having a "funny sounding last name". Imagine that, democrats mocking someone for having a funny sounding foreign name? I'm sure they would have a word for a republican that used that.

    Some credit her with "quick thinking" with coming up with the "Let's Go Brandon" line to explain the chant but it was amateur hour in the extreme to have paused the way she did so that the "[F-bomb] Joe Biden" chant could clearly be heard in the first place. She put herself in a bind that she then used a bald face lie to try to cover. Sportscasters with more experience or just common sense know to talk over chanting so it is much more difficult to make out because too often it is smack talk.

    They definitely don't do memes all that well, nor do they seem to understand the nature of memes and why they happen.
