Florida Agricultural Commissioner Nikki Fried referred to President Joe Biden as "Brandon" in a tweet thanking him for his response to Hurricane Ian, using a nickname originally deployed by Biden's critics, but has been embraced by his supporters in recent months.
"From all of us in Florida, thank you Brandon," Fried, a Democrat, tweeted Saturday.
Biden's nickname stems from a NASCAR race last year, when driver Brandon Brown won the race and sportscaster Kelli Stavast, while interviewing Brown, thought the crowd was cheering "Let's go Brandon!" In actuality, the crowd was cheering "F*** Joe Biden."
"Let's go Brandon" then became a meme and phrase used by conservatives to criticize the president. But recently, it has been coopted by Democrats.
In recent months, supporters of the president have used "Dark Brandon" memes as a way to praise the president's achievements, after it was originally used to mock former President Donald Trump.
"Dark Brandon or #DarkBrandon refers to a series of memes depicting a darker, edgier Joe Biden. The memes appropriate DarkMAGA imagery originally used by rightwing posters to depict Donald Trump as well as the Let's Go Brandon catchphrase used by conservatives to mock Biden and the media," according to knowyourmeme.com.

Finally. Fewer folks offended by my 'Let's Go Brandon' shirt.
No, a rabid socialist psycho freak.
And FJB is like Slayer.
Over on Twitter Congresswoman Lauren Boebert trolled the dems by tweeting: “Two words: Let’s go Brandon”. Dozens instantly replied saying how stupid she was and how someone that stupid shouldn’t be in Congress.
After a bit she and others posted the clip of FJB’s “Two words: made in America”. Rather admit that they’d been trolled they started posting lists of all Brandon’s accomplishments and things like “Let’s Go Brandon is how pedophiles greet each other”
It’s as if we are living side by side but in two completely different worlds.
