A Missouri Republican state lawmaker posted video on social media that he said showed a group of young kids repeatedly chanting “Let’s go Brandon” in unison at a youth wrestling tournament in Independence last week.

The video was posted on Twitter by state Rep. Aaron McMullen, an Independence Republican. McMullen said on Twitter that the video was filmed at Cable Dahmer Arena in Independence, which hosted the Adidas Wrestling Nationals, a K-12 tournament.

In the video, the group of kids are seen smacking a wrestling mat between the chants. The phrase has been adopted as a rallying cry in conservative and right-wing circles to mean “F--- Joe Biden.”

“What’s happening in Independence, MO? Don’t ever let them tell you we are losing the youth. Let’s Go Brandon!” McMullen posted on Twitter along with the video.

**SNIP**

Missouri Democrats quickly criticized the video on social media, saying it’s an example of kids being indoctrinated for political fodder. They have also pointed out the vulgar meaning of the phrase.

“There are so many people willing to throw teachers under the bus and defund schools and making up stories about teachers indoctrinating children or the left indoctrinating children,” Jessica Piper, executive director of Blue Missouri, a group that fundraises for Democrats, told The Star. “Leading kids on a chant of ‘let’s go Brandon’ is the height of indoctrination and they do it out there and they’re willing to film it and to put it online.”

At first I thought it was going to be about the UFC fight that Trump was at!

That’s a different time that the crowd recently chanted “Let’s Go Brandon “!

My 13 year old grandson recently bought me a “Let’s Go Brandon” cap. I wear it proudly! :-)

“There are so many people willing to throw teachers under the bus and defund schools and making up stories about teachers indoctrinating children or the left indoctrinating children,”

And with good reason. Groomer government school teachers are failures.

LGB/FJB/ETC. There is hope for the kids, yet.

“making up stories about teachers indoctrinating children or the left indoctrinating children,”

Making it up, lol. Yeah, the Left totally isn’t indoctrinating children. Hahahaha. There is no debating with these people. You cannot have an honest debate with dishonest people. At least she sounds defensive.

I’m sure it far surpasses the vulgarity of the drag queen show the Dems are planning for the kids.

Having been around youth wrestling quite a bit, I can say that it is a pretty conservative group of people.

There are no participation trophies. There is no politics (in regards to the competition). The coach’s son doesn’t get to play the best position or get the most playing time.

There is a very easy formula at youth wrestling tournaments....

desire to win + time spent in practice + (coaching / 2) + (natural ability / 2) + (good training partners / 2) = trophies

It is very similar to life in general (before the destruction of the West).

Quick! Ask that highly educated SCOTUS judge what a kid is so that we know how to handle a kid!
