TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The crowd at Hilton Palm Beach Airport launched into chants of “Let’s Go Brandon,” after DeSantis called the current presidential administration the “Brandon administration.”
Using the phrase as a jumping off point, he criticized corporate media companies such as NBC News for what he called partisan slant in favor of President Biden.

The crowd’s cheering grew louder and DeSantis paused, laughing at the joke. The “Let’s Go Brandon” chant continued and the governor explained the origin of the phrase.
“I don’t even know, do you know how that started?” DeSantis asked. “You have the media, they’re hand-wringing over this. It was at a NASCAR race, and they’re doing an interview with the driver, I guess his name was Brandon, and the crowd starts chanting ‘very colorful language’ about Joe Biden.”
DeSantis said what the crowd at the NASCAR event was saying was “fairly obvious,” and that crowds had said “way worse about Trump” during his presidency.
“So they’re chanting this, and you have a reporter from NBC who knows that’s what they’re saying and she’s trying to cover for Biden and she says ‘yeah they’re chanting let’s go Brandon,’ and that was a lie,” DeSantis said. “So this chant has taken on a life of its own because it exposes the dishonesty of these corporate reporters and what they do every day. They try to lie. So now you see it.”

If anyone has an email address for the bimbo reporterette who coined the phrase “Let’s go, Brandon,” I’d like to get her a message to encourage the collection of royalties on her behalf. She could make a mint from assuming her audience to be deaf.
She's my hero. Only rarely has a stupid ding-dong done something so brilliant.
She needs to know that, and full well.
Kelli Stavast. She’s on Twitter and Instagram. A Freeper nascarnation has chatted with her before all this happened and said she is quite a nice person. Who knows how she feels about all this but its blown up way beyond anything one could have imagined.
The reporter bimbette who coined the phrase “Let’s go Brandon”, and therefore highlighted the problem the media have of being inveterate liars, should never live that down.
Kelli could be a nice person. I doubt nascarnation would have lied about her being nice.
However, Let’s Go Brandon was not what the crowd was saying. Why did Kelli feel the need to be dishonest about what the crowd was saying? The media has no God given right to lie!
Maybe I am reacting to strongly, but accuracy should be #1. Our media today is more like Pravda/Stasi type media.
I'm sure her MSM masters appreciate what she did too.
Asking for a friend. So if Joe’s name is now synonymous with Brandon does that mean Jill’s name is synonymous with Karen?
:D
DeSantis is almost as good a troll as Trump.
