A new challenge has taken off on TikTok where users perform skits to a song born out of a gaffe-turned-meme with the phrase “Let’s go Brandon” serving as a euphemism for “F-ck Joe Biden.”
The song, titled, “Let’s Go Brandon,” was released by singer Loza Alexander on the video-sharing platform and based on an NBC Sports reporter’s mistake at an Oct. 2 NASCAR race. While fans chanted “F-ck Joe Biden” from the stands, the reporter, interviewing Xfinity Series driver Brandon Brown, congratulated him on his first win with a reference to the crowd’s post-race chant she repeated as, “Let’s go Brandon.” The reporter was apparently oblivious to what’s become a popular chant at large events.
“As you can hear the chants from the crowd, ‘Let’s go Brandon,'” she said, as stadium fans clearly chanted “F-ck Joe Biden.”
Alexander’s song, which topped the charts as No. 1 on Apple Music’s hip-hop/rap genre and No. 2 across all music Wednesday, has now been adopted by conservative TikTok users as an anthem to vent their dissatisfaction with the current president. The song trended at No. 12 on YouTube Wednesday afternoon.
Posts with the hashtag “letsgobrandonchallenge” on TikTok have racked up more than 1.4 million views as of this writing.

Chants of “F-ck Joe Biden” became popular in late summer as President Biden’s approval plummeted to net-negatives by late August, according to the RealClear aggregate. Americans disenchanted by a botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, heightened inflation, and rising gas prices with an energy crisis on the horizon this winter have used the phrase to air their grievances in a collective chorus at stadium football games and other large events.
“...based on an NBC Sports reporter’s mistake...”
It wasn’t a mistake! She knew exactly what the crowd was chanting and tried to cover.
Apparently, it was a mistake trying to cover it up.
If the country wasn’t in the process of being destroyed since January 2021, this chant would fade away. Instead, nearly everyone knows what this is about, and a sizable majority agree with the chant.
Exactly. They keep trying to sell that BS.
No only did she cover, but she didn’t stop the interview and re-record at another time. She’s being mocked as oblivious and stupid all over social media, where she allowed the US to see what was being said by the quick cover.
Reporter Kelli Stavast has gained a bit of infamy with her sloppy attempt at pretending not to hear, F*** Joe Biden.
Trying to label it a mistake is an insult to the reporter’s audience. Remember, she was there. She heard it much more clearly. She knew EXACTLY what they were saying.
RE: ‘Let’s Go Brandon Challenge’ Goes Viral On TikTok
Some people ( especially the youngsters ) are just saying the phrase for the fun of it and for the heck of it. You know, joining the crowd...
But when election comes, they vote Democrat anyway.
That is my impression too. She has been a sports reporter for many years. They were doing the “F Joe Biden” chant for weeks at dozens of football and baseball games. I find it VERY difficult to believe she was unaware of it.
However, the thing that would seal it would be if they were chanting it earlier in the race. She could claim she thought it was about Brandon after he won but there would be no way the crowd would be cheering “Let’s go Brandon” during the race.
Does anyone know if they were chanting it earlier?
“It wasn’t a mistake! She knew exactly what the crowd was chanting and tried to cover.”

Roger that. It was pathetic. I had better excuses when I was hiding my report card from my Mom back in grade school LOL

So very true. I saw it live.
Small family team wins Talladega! Let’s go Brandon!
The song says, you know what they were saying ho.

By trying to cover it up, that reporter has created a meme that doesn’t have a swear word in it. That is going to last.
And we all know exactly what she was trying to hide, and many, even Biden voters, agree with the sentiment.
Brandon Brown runs for a smaller family team and I doubt that 10% of the crowd could pick him out of a lineup.
Now he’s famous.
