Just over two months ago, a legend was born.
NBC Sports reporter Kelly Stavast interviewed NASCAR driver Brandon Brown after he won the NASCAR Xfinity Series Sparks 300 race at the Talladega (AL) Superspeedway. The crowd was raucous, and as the interview proceeded, the chant of “F*** Joe Biden” was clearly transmitted to listeners. This was not totally unexpected because by October, “F*** Joe Biden” was as uncontroversial as “good morning” for a majority of Americans (It’s a Movement: Chanting Against Biden and They’re Not Holding Back). In fact, it had become an international phenomenon (It’s Spreading: Watch as ‘F Joe Biden’ Goes International).
However, it was Stavast’s feeble attempt at gaslighting that converted a background crowd chant into a legendary faceplant (‘F Joe Biden’ Makes It Live at NASCAR, Reporter Does Her Best to Spin).
And so, “Let’s Go, Brandon,” was born.
Since its rather humble beginnings, “Let’s Go, Brandon” has been used in a floor speech in the House of Representatives (Watch: The First Official Utterance of ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Has Been Made on the House Floor). An eponymously named song has made it to Number One song on iTunes (WATCH: “Let’s Go Brandon!” Goes From Viral Meme to #1 Song on iTunes.). Florida Governor Ron DeSantis paid homage to the viral sensation by holding a press conference in Brandon, FL (Ron DeSantis Escalates ‘Let’s Go, Brandon’ Wars in a Rather Clever Way).
