Of course, the entire Corporate Media apparatus got this entire incident wrong.
On Christmas Eve, Jared Schmeck, 35, a former police officer in Medford, Oregon, called NORAD’s Santa Tracker with his kids and was surprised when it was patched through to President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden which was livestreamed.
After a brief, pleasant exchange about what the kids wanted for Christmas, Schmeck did something that has him in the Corporate Media’s crosshairs — he said the phrase, “Let’s Go, Brandon!” A clip of the video went viral because President Biden replied, “Let’s go Brandon, I agree.” The phone call with Schmeck was quickly cut short.
Here is the video posted by Schmeck on YouTube with the full conversation from their perspective. It’s cut off at the part that went viral.
Here’s the clip that went viral on social media.
Clueless Joe didn’t seem to know that “Let’s Go, Brandon” was code for something else.
The phrase, “Let’s Go Brandon” became popular after an NBC sports reporter said that the crowd at a NASCAR race in Talladega was shouting it after Brandon Brown earned his first Xfinity Series victory in October, but the crowd was clearly chanting, “F**k Joe Biden.”
ClashDaily covered it here:
WATCH: NASCAR Fans CLEARLY Chant ‘F**K JOE BIDEN’ But NBC Reporter Says It’s ‘Let’s Go Brandon’
Was it a bit tasteless? Maybe.
Was it rude? Probably.
Was it funny? Heck yeah!
Is it worth harassing the guy over it? Nope.
The left went mental calling it a “slur” and couldn’t believe that people were “disrespecting” the President that way. This is despite years of amplifying and tacitly cheering on people that shouted “F**k Trump!”, gave “The Resistance” a platform, and allowed people to call Trump the “Orange Man”, “Cheeto”, or the “Occupant of the White House” — which was apparently not disrespecting the office of President.
Biden had just wished the father & kids a Merry Christmas for what it’s worth & spent time asking the kids what they wanted for Christmas

Even an elected official who (allegedly) slept with a Chinese spy thought it was a good idea to weigh in.
I refuse to believe we are this indecent as people. Not on Christmas Eve. And not to a person who lost his wife and daughter at Christmastime. We are better than this. Be kind and #MerryChristmas. https://t.co/CLZJY9VCxt

When you boil it down all the “Let’s Go Brandon” thing amounts to is that people who hated Biden anyway have found a cute way to tell him to F off in public without losing their jobs or suffering other consequences

What the arrogant, lecturing, elitist class doesn’t seem to understand is that the phrase is just as much a slam on them — the bootlicking, Corporate Media and Biden apologists — as it is a PG substitute for the more vulgar phrase that was popularized at College football games.
Let’s Go Brandon originated when a member of the fake news media tried to lie by falsely claiming a crowd was not saying F Joe Biden.
LGB is more a critique of corporate media than a curse on Biden, who most realize isn’t in charge and is in fact a victim of elder abuse.

Schmeck says that he is now being attacked for exerting his right to freedom of speech and he’s now receiving “vague but threatening phone calls” after the call with the President and First Lady. He says that he doesn’t have ill-will to the President, but believes that Biden could do a “better job.”
A Central Point father of four who wished President Joe Biden and the first lady a wonderful Christmas and added “Let’s go, Brandon,” at the end of a live streamed Santa tracker call told The Oregonian/OregonLive that he didn’t intend his parting message to be vulgar.
“At the end of the day, I have nothing against Mr. Biden, but I am frustrated because I think he can be doing a better job,” said Jared Schmeck, 35, who works for an electric company and was previously a Medford police officer for six years until he resigned in July 2018. “I mean no disrespect to him.”
Schmeck said he was simply making a joke. He also says that he’s not a “Trumper” — he describes himself as a “free-thinking American and follower of Jesus Christ.”
“And now I am being attacked for utilizing my freedom of speech,” Schmeck said, adding that he’s been receiving some vague but threatening phone calls since the Santa tracker call.
“I understand there is a vulgar meaning to ‘Lets go Brandon,’ but I’m not that simple minded, no matter how I feel about him,” the 35-year-old father said Christmas morning. “He seems likes he’s a cordial guy. There’s no animosity or anything like that. It was merely just an innocent jest to also express my God-given right to express my frustrations in a joking manner…I love him just like I love any other brother or sister.”

Do you think any of that matters to the Biden apologists? Not at all.
In America, you’re free to say “Let’s go Brandon” to President Biden on Christmas. And all the rest of us are free to call you an ignorant, disrespectful shithead.
Deal with it, Oregon jerk.

CNN is positively apoplectic that someone would “disrespect the office of the President” like that — their guest even said that it is “fundamentally about insurrection”.
CNN is PISSED that a parent would say “Let’s Go Brandon” to Biden directly. Analyst says it’s ungracious. It’s juvenile. It’s reprehensible…and (this is CNN)…it’s about “insurrection.” pic.twitter.com/vRRIZagEvb

You can always count on CNN to blow things completely out of proportion.
Remember, CNN views Trump supporters as the ignorant “credulous Boomer rube demo” who don’t read books or know geography.

Now that we know that it was the Hillary campaign that was involved in “colluding” with Russia to smear Trump, that clip hasn’t aged so well.
Radio Host and Fox News contributor, Jason Rantz wrote on Twitter, “The network that views tens of millions of people as irredeemable “deplorables” and spent four years calling Trump a fascist, racist, sexist, transphobic wannabe-monarch while excusing or ignoring BLM and Antifa violence… is outraged by ‘Let’s Go Brandon.'”

That kinda puts it all in perspective, doesn’t it?
Merry Christmas, CNN! Oh, and Let’s Go, Brandon!
As for Joe’s handlers — maybe you should clue him in on a bit more of the pop culture surrounding his presidency so he doesn’t get caught off guard like that again.
Check out Doug’s latest book, The Art of Joe: The Political Brilliance of President Biden. If you have left-leaning family members, workmates, or classmates, to buy several copies and place them in common areas. Make sure you have your video camera ready for when they pick it up and thumb through it because they will be triggered which will make for a great viral video to share across social media. Also, buy a couple for the GOP NeverTrumpers that you know. Finally, both the book’s cover and the epilogue, Notable Quotable Joe are worth the price of admission. We’ve included before and after Biden on Afghanistan. Jen Psaki will no likey this book, but you will. BTW, the book is 95% bereft of any content. Just like Biden’s head.
