Shop NowUpon arriving in Mayfield, Kentucky to survey tornado damage, Joe Biden was reportedly greeted with “Let’s Go Brandon” chants, and one reporter was seriously triggered by it.
Standing amid the devastating wreckage caused by the tornado, Joe Biden was greeted by a few members of the assembled crowd with chants of “Let’s Go Brandon.”
The phrase was coined after chants of “F*ck Joe Biden” began to break out at various sporting events and other gatherings. One such event was an Oct. 2 NASCAR race at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, where an NBC Sports reporter either blatantly lied on live television, or was truly deaf/dumb and said the crowd was chanting “Let’s Go Brandon,” referring to the driver, Brandon Brown, who she was interviewing at the moment. Since then, the phrase has been adopted as the more appropriate and polite version of the original “F*ck Joe Biden” chant.
BBC reporter Tara McKelvey was on the ground with Biden in Kentucky, and reported on the chants on Twitter, noting that there were also Trump flags visible in the crowd.
“I’m with the president in Mayfield. Looking at destruction. There is a Trump flag and when Biden got out of the motorcade someone called: ‘Let’s go, Brandon.’ They said it twice,” McKelvey tweeted.
