Yesterday, perhaps the greatest “Let’s Go, Brandon” troll since the inception of the phrase occurred. Joe and Jill Biden were calling children to wish them a merry Christmas when a father on one of the calls managed to slip in a “Let’s Go, Brandon” before things were shut down.
The president then repeated it and say “I agree,” in an awkward moment where he appeared to not be aware of what was happening. Here’s what that looked like if you haven’t seen it.

The spectacle led to an absolute meltdown on the left, with numerous hypocrites that had no problem uttering obscenities at Donald Trump suddenly morphing into Puritans, decrying the use of the “slur” against Biden. As I type this, there’s already an online campaign to attack the man with the obvious intent being to get him fired from his job and ostracized from society.
That’s hardly a new task for our intrepid media complex. Perhaps you recall the story about the forklift driver that posted a hilarious video of Nancy Pelosi. The driver was quickly identified and brutally attacked. I certainly can’t think of anything less American than ruining someone’s life for making fun of a politician, but unfortunately, that’s the world we live in.
The man who was behind this hilarious exchange has spoken out and claimed he did not mean to be disrespectful. He also explained his position. According to The Post Millennial.
“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. I mean no disrespect to him.” He said that he identifies himself as a “free-thinking American and follower of Jesus Christ,” and does not consider himself to be a Trump supporter.”I thought [the phone conversation]It would all be done automatically. We just waited on hold and then they answered And I thought, ‘wow, this is real,’” Schmeck continued.
This sounds just right. That sounds fair enough. No, but I’m not Jared Schmeck. Each of us have different expectations when it comes down to how we interact with the powerful. Growing up in the South, I tend to be a “show respect even when it’s not due” kind of person when dealing with personal interactions. But the most important thing here is that Americans should feel free to express their frustrations to political leaders how they see fit, even if it wouldn’t be in the way I or others would prefer.
In short, Schmeck shouldn’t face any reprisal for making fun of Biden. This would not only be an attack on free speech, but it could also threaten the American ideal that those at the top should serve the people. We aren’t always going to agree on how to approach the issue of decorum, but that doesn’t negate the right of an individual to approach it as they see fit.
