Democrat's worst fear! "Let's go Brandon!" - America's best pics and videos

A new shibboleth insulting President Joe Biden has been circulating lately among Republican members of Congress, pundits and even weapons manufacturers. The refrain, “Let’s go Brandon,” might sound like an innocuous chant from right-leaning crowds. The Associated Press calls it a “not-so-secret handshake that signals they’re in sync with the [Republican] party’s base.”

The phrase earned its bizarre secret-password status within right-wing circles after NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast interviewed NASCAR driver Brandon Brown on the while a crowd chanted “F--- Joe Biden” in the background. Stavast, for reasons still unclear, suggested that the crowd was shouting “Let’s go Brandon.”

 

Some conservatives, such as Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, cried foul, saying Stavast’s interpretation was a concerted attempt to censor people on the right. Since then, more people, from House Republicans to a Houston Astros fan who posed next to Cruz (the fan base has a record of rooting for people who display bad behavior) have adopted the phrase.

But while the idiom understandably annoys liberals and it certainly isn’t the most savory thing to say — or imply, as it were — about a president, I can’t help but feel like it is a significant downgrade from the glory days of the far right, especially during the Trump era. Compared to “Lock her up,” “Crooked Hillary” and “Build the wall,” “Let’s go, Brandon” feels much like Biden himself: inoffensive and very vanilla.

In many ways, it exemplifies that despite Biden’s lagging approval, the American right has failed to make the general public fear Uncle Joe. Even Trump’s epithet of “Sleepy Joe” didn’t carry the same resonance that “Crooked Hillary,” “Lyin’ Ted” and “Liddle Marco” did.

“Let’s go Brandon” doesn’t thunder the same way supporters’ saying “Trump that bi---” did. It doesn’t pack the same visceral punch as when Trump propagated the racist lie that Barack Obama wasn’t born in the U.S., which catapulted him to the forefront of the Republican Party.
