Happy Anniversary to ‘Let’s Go Brandon!’<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to believe it, but one year has passed since Americans nationwide began using the ironic catchphrase \u201cLet\u2019s Go Brandon!\u201d to mock Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

It all started with an interview when NBC reporter Kelli Stavast claimed during an interview with NASCAR driver Brandon Brown that chants of \u201cF\u2014 Joe Biden!\u201d at the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Talladega were actually \u201cLet\u2019s go, Brandon!\u201d<\/p>\n

The phrase was quickly adopted by conservatives as a family-friendly alternative for expressing anger and defiance at Joe Biden and his policies, as well as a dig at media bias. Before long, \u201cLet\u2019s Go Brandon!\u201d went from a viral social media meme to being recited at sporting events all over the country. It wasn\u2019t a short-lived fad either; it became\u00a0a chart-topping song on iTunes,<\/a>\u00a0and it even\u00a0made\u00a0its way into the House chamber<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Triggered leftists insisted the phrase was vulgar. At-home fitness company Peloton even\u00a0banned its users from using the hashtag #LetsGoBrandon and other variants on their profiles<\/a>. Some on the left have even tried to reclaim the Brandon moniker by giving Biden the nickname \u201cDark Brandon<\/a>,\u201d which is just as silly as it sounds.<\/p>\n

My personal favorite moment was when Joe and Jill Biden did a video call into NORAD to see where Santa was on Christmas Eve last year. After speaking with some kids, a father said to the Bidens: \u201cI hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas as well. Merry Christmas, and Let\u2019s go, Brandon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s go, Brandon. I agree,\u201d Biden replied.<\/p>\n

It was awesome<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s Go Brandon\u201d has gone through quite a journey over the past year. It\u2019s been amusing, to say the least, and I can\u2019t wait to see what other joys it will bring this coming year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
