Social media users took to their keyboards Saturday to react to a newly surfaced video that purportedly shows a Southwest Airlines pilot concluding an announcement to passengers by saying "Let's go Brandon" over the plane's intercom system.

Dems are milking this big time!

[rktman]

So ticket sales should be up then.

Be a real hoot if the copilot’s name was Brandon.

On the other hand, did the co-pilot video tape the pilot making the comment? The passengers seat mate could have cupped his hand over his mouth and made the statement. In other words, the video doesn’t “SHOW” anything concerning the pilot. :-|

What does Alec Baldwin's wife have to do with this story?

[teeman8r]

Now that the what house has rolled out their Brandon in a wheelchair, everything should be cool to say let’s go.

Let’s go Brandon

[ThunderSleeps]

So? Makes me want to fly Southwest.

What would really su... er "stink" for a pilot would be to have a co-pilot named Brandon who tended to lag behind. You'd have to encourage him on: "Let's go Brandon! We're going to be late!" Well, at least the plane won't leave without the pilot. ;-)

If the pilot had said ‘Let’s get vaccinated’, he would have gotten a pass - or a raise.

Not that there’s bias against conservatives... or anything.

[Leaning Right]

The pilot is evidently a NASCAR supporter. Why would anyone be upset by that?

[blackdog]

Let’s fly Southwest.

Be a real hoot if the copilot’s name was Brandon.

That gives me an idea. Since we can apparently choose to "identify" as any sexual orientation we want to identify as, changing on a whim between genders real and imagined... I think I simply want to identify as "Brandon." Not my real, given name but hey, we shouldn't be hung up on labels. So I want to be Brandon. I'm going to have family and friends start calling me Brandon. Heck, if we can pick our own pronouns at work (yes, literally) I can pick a nickname.

Hard to prove the pilot meant anything toward the basement dweller.

It’s great because it only makes it more popular.

“We have clearance, Clarence.”

“What’s our vector Victor?”

“Let’s go Brandon!”

> I think I simply want to identify as “Brandon.” <

I think you’re on to something here. But I’m gonna take it a step forward. I’m gonna call myself “Let’sGoBrandon”, and demand that everyone address me by my chosen name. After all, it’s my civil right.

So when my boss calls me and a coworker named Bob into a meeting: “Bob and Let’sGoBrandon, please be in my office at one o’clock today.”

“Let’s go Brandon” isn’t getting the support Trump bashing did. Yet.

Thanks.
