In MSNBC’s ongoing obsession with labeling anyone who dares to disagree with their left-wing agenda an “insurrectionist,” Deadline for White House host Nicole Wallace laughably claimed on Monday that the Oregon father who said “let’s go, Brandon” to President Joe Biden was part of a “slow-motion insurrection”.
After playing the now-viral clip of Jared Schmeck, a former Oregon police officer and father of four saying the phrase to Biden during a phone call while the President was at the NORAD “Santa tracking center”, Wallace criticized Schmeck for appearing on Steve Bannon’s podcast after being doxxed.
She then proceeded to play a clip of Schmeck’s interview with Bannon, before going to her guests Jason Johnson host of MSNBC’s The Week and MSNBC contributor and former Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill:
Donald Trump, my President, should continue to be President. It was 100% stolen. This is why I want to be clear. Um but, Let’s go Brandon is more than just “F Joe Biden”. Let’s go Brandon is, it encompasses the entirety of our frustration with Joe Biden, the administration, the leftist mob, the cancel culture, the mainstream media. These are the people who made it possible. And we’re, we’re able, as conservatives, we are able to find humor in this. However, there are some terrible things.
In response, Wallace went into a deranged rant about how we shouldn’t look at this as a story about “giving air time to a MAGA guy who goes on Steve Bannon’s podcast,” instead, Wallace wants us to believe that saying “let’s go Brandon” is a “slow-motion insurrection.”
Wallace did not elaborate on this bizarre assertion. Instead, she went to Johnson who proved to be even more unhinged than Wallace.
Referring to Wallace’s rant about Schmeck being part of the “slow-motion insurrection”, Johnson took it a step further by absurdly claiming “these people are basically just insurrectionists in training now.”He declared:
MAGA doesn’t care about taxes. You know, Let’s go Brandon isn’t about what you feel about supply chain issues and gas. This is the cry for insurrectionists. This is the cry for people who would violently overthrow this country and oppress all others.
Johnson recommended that Biden involve the FBI and Justice Departments in investigating. “where the anger that leads to these kinds of statements comes through.”
Whether you think it’s appropriate to use coded language to curse at the President, it is nothing short of insane to suggest that doing so makes you an “insurrectionist”. MSNBC is MSNBC. To paraphrase their slogan, “This is who they are”.
This segment of two MSNBC hosts calling Americans who disagree with them “insurrectionists” was made possible thanks to lucrative sponsorships by Johnson & Johnson and Nutrisystem. This link allows you to contact them regarding the poisonous rhetoric that they finance.

Deadline for White House
12/27/2021
4:00 PM
JOE BIDEN : Merry Christmas!
JARED SCHMECK : Hi, yeah. I wish you all a happy Christmas. Brandon, Merry Christmas
BIDEN: Let’s go, Brandon. Yes.
NICOLE WALKACE: This is what you thought was happening. He lived in Oregon with his children. Self-described as a freethinking American, and a follower Jesus Christ, he’s also a Christian. He called into the NORAD’s Santa tracking center on Christmas Eve. And what he said to President Joe Biden, means “F Joe Biden” in very, very, very thinly coded right-wing lexicon. Jared Schmeck, a grown man, later explained that the comment was intended in humor to Oregonian before whining for many days about being attacked because he used his freedom speech. It could have been over, but it didn’t. However, he was invited to Steve Bannon’s radio broadcast or podcast today. There he was. Jared Schmeck in his MAGA hat. Do you think this sounds like somebody who is joking?
SCHMECK. Donald Trump should still be my president. It was 100% stolen. This is why I want to be clear. Um but, Let’s go Brandon is more than just “F Joe Biden”. Let’s go Brandon is, it encompasses the entirety of our frustration with Joe Biden, the administration, the leftist mob, the cancel culture, the mainstream media. These are the people who made it possible. And we’re, we’re able, as conservatives, we are able to find humor in this. However, there are some terrible things.
WALLACE – I don’t know where to start. This is why it matters. Trump’s advantage has been the asymmetry. And the asymmetry of saying “F you” to a sitting President on a call in front of your four kids – don’t look past this. Don’t look at this as a story about giving air time to a MAGA guy who goes on Steve Bannon’s podcast and said I wasn’t joking. Not only did I say “F you”, Mr. President. But I went beyond that. Jason is in slow motion. This is Jason in full color.
JASON JOHNSON: Yeah, Nicole. Here’s the deal. There is nothing more entertaining to me than people whose names I had never heard of four days ago saying “I’m canceled” as they’re being amplified. Right? It’s true. He is adamant about cancel culture. It was a Schmeck-schmuck that I did not know. Like I didn’t know who this guy was five days ago. Right? Now I know who he is but he’s being canceled. He’s gonna have t-shirts and he’s gonna show up at like Turning Point next week or something else like that, giving speeches with Kyle Rittenhouse. So that’s the hypocrisy of it all. But the more dangerous thing is you’re pointing to is the fact that all of these people are basically just insurrectionists in training now. Right? As if to make a point, presidents often hear offensive things. Larry Wilmore, who was standing next to Barack Obama made an inappropriate joke about George Bush. Right? As rude as it is to say something about the President. It’s not an issue. But when these people are speaking, they’re not joking. MAGA doesn’t concern taxes. You know, Let’s go Brandon isn’t about what you feel about supply chain issues and gas. This is the cry for insurrectionists. It’s the cry of those who wish to oppress everyone else and take control of this country. This is what makes it dangerous. It’s okay if Joe Biden is able to laugh at it or do something similar. It is my hope that there will be a Justice Department as well as an FBI and CIA who investigate the source of this kind of anger. These people have already attacked us with weapons. You think they’re going to come back and do something less aggressive next time if they feel like they can speak this way to the President? My opinion is that they won’t.
WALLACE: The the the, the First Amendment protects um Mr. Shm– what’s his name, Shmeck’s right to say what he said. I celebrate that, he’s well within his rights, Claire, um but those rights are in danger by what he said to Steve Bannon. Right? He said that Donald Trump was my president. No, he’s not. We are a democratic society. That’s why you have those First Amendment protections. The people who use the First Amendment to their advantage are those who feel compelled by the idea of losing the democratic freedoms that come with it. Does that seem like an elite view of it? Claire, do you believe any of them see the irony in that?
CLAIRE McCASKILL: I just find this entire thing incredibly sad. This was Christmas Eve. This is the man who claims to be a believer in Jesus Christ. This holiday is meant to be filled with joy, peace and love on Earth. Jesus Christ’s teachings, about kindness and taking care of others, are key. And this man, knowing what would happen, on national television, in a, in a, in a call, says “F you” to the sitting President, who is trying to lift him up on Christmas Eve, and his children. It’s so sad. That’s pathetic. It’s what it is. It isn’t what holiday is all about. This is the opposite of what holiday should be all about. And I find it completely wrong that we have gotten to a point in this country that anybody is ever comfortable saying “F you” to a sitting President no matter what the circumstances much less on Christmas Eve, in front of his children.
WALLACE: Yeah. We are who we really are. This is why we have it covered.
