On October 2, the Talladega Superspeedway was the host of a Sparks 300 race in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Brandon Brown was the winner, and sportscaster Kelli Stavast believed the crowd were chanting for him during the race.
They were shouting, 'Let's go Brandon!' - or so she thought.
It turned out the fans had a very different intention and were actually shouting out against President Joe Biden.
The chant, believed to have been led by Trump supporters, was actually "F*** Joe Biden," and has since been heard at several other sporting events.
While the chant itself is not new, the idea of the song being in support of Brandon has seemed to capture the imaginations of meme-makers.
Even Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. got involved with his own tweet, which took place at a protest outside the New York Department of Education.
The meme began when, as Brown was being interviewed on NBC by Stavast, she misheard the chant, thinking it was for Brown after his win.
Brown said: "Oh my God, this is just everything we've hoped and dreamed for. Everything I've ever wanted to do is take the trophy home to mom and dad.
Stavast replied: "Brandon, you also told me... you can hear the chants from the crowd, 'Let's Go Brandon.'..."
She paused to let the chant ring out as she continued asking another question, but it became clear this was not the chant at all.
The NASCAR driver gamely continued the interview, not focusing on the protestors.
This meme quickly spread,

There was an article that, while anti-Bidet, lamented that FJB was being championed...basically the author felt FJB was a stark sign of how far we've fallen as a civilized society.
Part of me doesn't care about the decline of civility, because we didn't start this decline. And I'm not a pacifist. Knives to gunfights and all that.
But for those (and that part of me) that DO care about civility, they now have LGB...AND the added bonus of it being handed to us.
As someone else on FR wrote, LGB may be the 2021 equivalent of Basket of Deplorables.
Agree- and its straight to the point
Massive F Zhao Biden chant at the Arkansas-Ole Miss game Saturday.
Promising a bunch of college kids debt relief and then NOT delivering is, I suspect, the real origin of the chant.
Good, he deserves ridicule and we know he won't get it from the GOP or the media. Patriots need to take back the country.
There's a slightly longer version I've used (as appropriate) since January 2021:
F@#! Joe Biden and the stolen horse he road in on!
;^)
Informing the sheeple who think that they are kind, caring, and know everything. Ya know, the Karens of the World (KOWs)
“the idea of the song “ What song. A chant is not a song.
Newsweek had to translate the complex and arcane language of the naked war painted natives!
They have to bring rump and race into everything.

Stavast has offered no comment as of October 2021.
She is a professional… just not the way normal people think
“All around the mulberry bush , the monkey plays with the weasels,
They run and screw ‘til somebody says,
Let’s Go Brandon!”
There, now you have a song. Enjoy that in your head, all day long. /s
She's become famous for all the wrong reasons, Like Lewinsky.
The earliest reports I remember seeing was that it started spontaneously at three college football games on September 2-4, 2021.
The Citadel vs. Coastal Carolina, September 2It looks like Ground Zero is the state of North Carolina, where two home games were played that weekend.

FJB chant being used in Italy at anti-mandate protests.
OMG that is so funny!
Captain Sum Ting Wong thought it was funny too!
Reminds me of a friend of mine who was a judge and a great joker. When he wanted to give me a hard time he would make a big deal out of complimenting the other lawyer (all in chambers) about his tie and then talk about his tie and knew I wasn’t wearing a tie because I’m a girl. My response would then be to start asking him about his kids who were in community theater with my kids. It’s called woodshedding. My favorite woodshedding event was when I was the referring attorney in a big PI case. I knew this judge too and had been on a long distance ride with her where we had to shower in high school locker rooms. As we went into her chambers to talk settlement, I turned to the defense lawyer and said, “I just want you to know that just because J and I have showered together, she won’t do me any favors. He turned white. (Can I still say that?)
For once, we are the masters of the meme. This is ours totally. And the left hates it. They were taken by surprise. I’m wondering what the leftist backlash will look like. Will Brandon unleash the fbi to arrest anybody who posts Let’s Go Brandon!?
In a day or two I’ll have a Let’s Go Brandon! sticker on my car. Will the police arrest me for making fun of a decrepit old fool?
