It is amazing that the “Let’s go, Brandon” phenomenon is still being hotly debated on social media and the airwaves. Activist media outlets and their employees have been losing their collective minds over the chant, which became a sensation after a so-called reporter at a NASCAR event tried to convince viewers that the audience was chanting “Let’s go, Brandon,” when they were really chanting “F*ck Joe Biden.”
RedState’s Bonchie pointed out how members of the activist media were upset at the crude comments about their dear leader. The Washington PostI wrote a piece complaining that Biden critics were using the chant as a way to show their disgust for his presidency. Taxpayer-funded NPR posted a helpful report explaining that “Let’s go, Brandon,” is something conservatives are using “in place of a more vulgar message directed at President Biden.”
Brandon is not being cheered on by anyone. This phrase is instead being used by conservatives to replace a vulgar message directed against President Biden. https://t.co/lDxJQ8YYZE

Jon Cooper, former campaign chair for former President Barack Obama, along with many others, went crazy when a Southwest Airlines pilot reportedly said “Let’s Go, Brandon” over the intercom. A tweet he posted encouraged others to push the company to fire his pilot.
Can I get 1,000 people to quickly comment #FIREDSo we can exert pressure @SouthwestAir to FIRE the MAGA pilot who said “Let’s Go Brandon” (which means F*ck Joe Biden) over the loudspeaker?

Asha Rangappa, a CNN media activist, compared the pilot’s comments to declaring support for the Islamic State.
As an experiment, I’d love for an @SouthwestAir pilot to say “Long live ISIS” before taking off. It is possible that 1) the plane will be grounded immediately; 2) the pilot would be terminated; and 3) an airline statement could be issued within hours.

I could go on and on listing examples of crybullies pretending to be offended at people making vulgar remarks about the geriatric authoritarian in the White House, but I don’t feel like writing a piece longer than “The Count of Monte Cristo.”
I’ll just give it to you straight: None of these people care about vulgarities being directed at the president. They don’t care about respecting the presidency, as the last five years have shown.
When former President Donald Trump was in office, high-profile leftists used language about him far worse than saying “F*ck Joe Biden.” Alleged comedian Steven Colbert referred to him as Putin’s “c*ck holster.” The media celebrated when he was flipped off by a critic.
It gets worse.
The Democrats and activists media tried repeatedly to convince their audiences that Trump’s supporters and Hitler were as evil as the Nazis and Hitler. As if this were a valid argument, they published op–ed after oped. One media activist made a comparison between him and Hezbollah (an Iranian-backed Islamic terrorist organization).
The left also pushed the Russian hooker narrative as if it were fact – even after it was debunked. Indeed, they pretended that Trump was literally a Russian asset who was Vladimir Putin’s puppet. His supporters are still being smacked by them, even though they continue to push false narratives about their status as white nationalists.
These people have gone so far as to refer to parents protesting at school board meetings as “domestic terrorists,” and have even colluded with Biden’s Department of Justice to target them. They also tried to portray the right as the same group as those who attacked the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6.
In short, the people who are clutching Their pearls over “Let’s go, Brandon,” have done – and are still doing – far worse when it comes to political rhetoric. These unprincipled hypocrites don’t care about vulgarity being directed at the president – they care about vulgarity being directed at theirPresident. So, until they actually do what they’re telling us to do, they can spare us their fake anger. It’s not even close to being believable.
Oh, and let’s go, Brandon!
