During an interview that took place in October 2021 with a NASCAR driver, Brandon Brown, politics become a part of the high octane sports. And the futile attempt made by the NBC interviewer to control the damages made the moment iconic.
Here’s what happened:
When the crowd during the interview with Brandon Brown, after his sensational performance in NASCAR Xfinity Series [where Brandon secured the win], started making use of the unsavory chant “F–k Joe Biden. The interviewer Kelli Stavast tried to control the scene with a rather pitiable attempt by claiming the crowd was chanting something else.
The phrase has gained so much popularity over such a small period of time that even Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, jumped on it and in an interview on Thursday with podcaster Benny Johnson said, it was “one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.”
“The clip is surreal,” Mr. Cruz said. “Listening to Kelli say, ‘Look, they’re chanting let’s go Brandon.’ It captures everything about fake news all at once.”
…
The virality of this meme that has just surfaced not a month ago, cannot be underestimated as something that would fizzle out in a few weeks, as a news article on Sky News covered a story about a mob outside of the US embassy in Rome, chanting phrase Let’s Go Brandon.
Things regarding the phrase have garnered so much attention that it’s not just a meme anymore, it’s a political statement addressing the current presidential tenure. It’s a representation of media bias that most certainly exists. It’s now a movement, around the world, against the current office-holding president based upon a plethora of foreign and domestic controversies. And it is a summation of many simultaneous arguments currently existing in the news.

I love it, mocking the Ministry of Propaganda at the same time expressing the FJB sentiment without the profanity.
Who or what’s this about Brandon?
First time I have ever seen the word “pitiable” in print. Whomever wrote is in need of some mentoring.
“Who or what’s this about Brandon?”
You’re kidding right???
Let’s go President Retard 🤪
New? its kinda old and spent like Biden
Serious. What’s it all about; or forget it, I’ll do a search. Tnx.
Saw a video clip of stadium fans at a college game shouting, “Lets Go Biden”.
Okay, just read about it.
I've seen it used quite a bit.

Let’s go Brandon.
Then, if you haven't figured it out - well, I'm sorry.
Somehow I picture ole Joe hanging from a helicopter’s
skids while the stadium below all chant...
Let Go Brandon!!!
It was spelled correctly and used properly. Maybe you just need to take an English class.
I prefer F*** Joe Biden.
