Dad Who Pranked Joe Biden Says It’s Important to ‘Voice Disapproval’ – Opinion

We’ve done a fair amount of coverage on the story of Jared Schmeck — how he managed to troll Joe Biden during a NORAD Santa-tracking call that he and his kids had with Joe and Jill Biden on Christmas Eve by slipping in a “Let’s go, Brandon” at the end of the call.

The left was furious, declaring it so offensive. This is despite many being the exact same folks that for decades have called Donald Trump every name and made all sorts of disparaging remarks against him. They weren’t disturbed by “Let’s go, Brandon.” They were more disturbed that Biden repeated it and agreed with it, showing how completely out of it he was. People on the left decided to kill Joe Biden and ruin his life for the crime of showing how broke Joe Biden was. He’s received threats and people have been trying to hurt his family’s business. They’ve now made public all kinds of information about him, even publishing his address in Oregon. Twitter has not closed any of this, as far as I know. This was even while they spent at least two whole days trying to doxx him.

All of this was not enough. The media then behaved as if it were justified to chase down the guy and take him down. CNN and MSNBC had even heard people say that Biden saying such things was equivalent to insurrection. Not only is that insane but it’s about trying to shut down any criticism of Biden and making those who dare to do it pay. It’s very Soviet in approach. Any questions about the government are going to be put out of bounds and all people will be killed just for laughing.

But although Schmeck has been facing a lot of backlash from the left, it turns out he’s not backing down from what he said. He appeared on Steve Bannon’s podcast and indicated he said it to “voice his disapproval” of Biden’s actions.

Schmeck said he wanted to clear up a mistaken impression left in some of the interviews where he was quoted as saying he was “not a Trumper.” He made it clear that yes, he was supportive of President Donald Trump, and in fact, he wore a “Make America Great Again” hat during the interview with Bannon.

Schmeck stated that the backlash felt like he was under threat of his freedom speech. He said that it was said in a “joking manner” but that it was also a “serious thing” that he had a chance “right now to voice my disapproval of this man and his administration.” He made the point that media has completely glossed over in every report on the saying of “Let’s go, Brandon,” including regarding his story — that it’s about more than just “F**k Joe Biden,” that it is about the frustration with Biden, the administration, the leftist mob, and the cancel culture. “The mainstream media, they’re the ones who made this thing,” Schmeck said referring to the saying. He said that Trump was his favorite candidate and claimed it had been stolen. He also spoke about Afghanistan’s debacle and lashed out at the media for not discussing it more, despite the fact that many people remain trapped in Afghanistan. He spoke about the supply chain issues, inflation rates, Biden’s “terrible policies on abortion,” the border crisis, and the federal vaccine mandates.

It looks like Schmeck has decided to fight fire with fire and if they’re going to attack him, he’s going to own his criticism of Biden and stand behind it. It’s important to stand up for that right to peacefully criticize our leaders because if we cannot we truly do start down a very bad path, especially if you also have liberal media working to demonize criticism.
