If you can't beat 'em... NASCAR driver who unwittingly inspired 'Let's go Brandon' chant reveals he's now being sponsored by cryptocurrency named after anti-Biden slogan after complaining phrase cost him sponsors

NASCAR driver Brandon Brown is now being sponsored by a cryptocurrency named after the politically charged 'Let's Go Brandon' chant he unwittingly inspired, days after complaining that the phrase had cost him sponsorships.

'I'm excited to welcome @LGBcoin_io aboard my No. 68 Chevrolet Camaro as our 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series full season primary partner!' Brown announced on Twitter Thursday. Brandon shared a glossy video of himself walking up to his red, white and blue shevy emblazoned with the LGBCoin logo.

Brown, 28, unintentionally sparked the phrase the national anti-Biden chant after NBC sports reporter Kelli Stavast confused the crowd jeering 'F*** Joe Biden' for 'Let's Go Brandon!' at a NASCAR event in Alabama on October 2.

The driver spoke out last week about the effect the chant had on his professional career, saying he's hard time finding sponsors and is viewed as a ticking time bomb despite never expressing any political views, beyond disclosing that he is a Republican. But he now appears to have warmed to his unintentional notoriety, after the phrase swept the national consciousness.

'We are proud to support Brandon this season, to help him continue his American dream,' James Koutoulas, LGBcoin HODLer and founder of Typhoon Capital Management, said in a press release.

The reporter was not confused. She knew exactly what she was doing as all leftist lap dogs do.

Kelli Stavast should be proud, her quick thinking started the biggest meme of the year. She’ll have something to brag to her grandkids about!

This is Bannon’s FJB coins which they are using to fight back on things just like this, they are using the funds for attorneys, opening our own banking and credit systems ect.

Unless her grandkids have an IQ below room temperature, they will know Grandma was a liar.

“Kelli Stavast should be proud, her quick thinking started the biggest meme of the year. She’ll have something to brag to her grandkids about!”

Quick thinking? Could be, but it seems to me to be just as likely that her producer at NBC, who didn’t squelch the crowd mics fast enough, was hysterically shrieking in her earpiece and telling her how to spin the truth and tell the world that what they were hearing wasn’t “really” what they were hearing.

Also, people probably now think this chant began at that particular NASCAR race, which is totally false. It had been going on at — among other places — college football games for quite some time before this race. It had always been ignored because the media couldn’t comprehend why college punkies, who voted at least 80% FOR “FJB”, were now chanting against him. But when “right-wing racist Trump-supporting trailer park crackers” — who the media already despises — began doing it, only THEN could they acknowledge it and pretend the “FJB” feelings were limited to those horrible subhumans.

I don’t think so. Bannon’s crypto is FJB. https://fjbcoin.org/

I should have read on before posting. Now I hope Bannon and tean will get this on Binance.us. I’d get $10 worth just for fun.

Agree 100%. It was the NBC reporter who coined the term.

It was likely a producer in her ear that prompted her statement. In reality she was likely just a willing dupe.
