What is the political meme "Let's Go Brandon"?
"BRANDON" comes from the phrase "Let's Go Brandon," which actually means "Fuck Joe Biden." Therefore, Brandon has also become an internet nickname for Biden.
Origin of "Let's Go Brandon"
"Let's Go Brandon" originated from a 2021 television interview with race car driver Brandon Brown, an American professional race car driver. During the interview by NBC, the audience was chanting "Fuck Joe Biden."
However, the reporter misheard it as "Let's Go Brandon" as if they were cheering for Brandon Brown, turning it into a joke and an internet meme. "Let's Go Brandon" has also become a political slogan for Republicans.
