Saturday Oct. 30 2021 The new cryptic insult to President Joe Biden has been devised by critics of Joe Biden. (AP Photo/Joshua Bessex) ASSOCIATED PRINT Last month the Lets Go Brandon meme/phrase took social media by storm essentially becoming a G-rated variant of not so civil expression FK Joe Biden! It was originally used at college football games including in late summer. The risible phrase was shared on social media. It then became the Lets Go Brandon version after the October 2 2021 NBC Sports broadcast. Brandon Brown won the NASCAR Xfinity Series race. Chants of Fk Joe Biden could be heard in the background as reporter Kelli Stavast reportedly incorrectly described what was said as Lets go Brandon. The footage of the interview was viralized and Lets go Brandon became an infamy among conservatives. However this interview was not recorded in the UK. IndependentNewspaper reported that the phase has entered mainstream pop culture with Loza Alexander recording and Bryson Grey each recording songs using the phrase as the title. Alexander reached number 38 on The iTunes Top Hip-Hop/Rap Songs and was the most popular song in Alexanders iTunes Top Hip-Hop/Rap Songs. Billboard This weeks Hot 100. Grays song was also at the top of iTunes. It debuted last month on US Hot 100 at number 28. The popularity of this slogan is not for everyone particularly in the case of motorsports. Steve Phelps of NASCAR said Friday that he doesnt like to be associated either with politicians from one side or the other. Phelps also stated that NASCAR would pursue legal action against the use of any trademarks with this slogan. After Lenny Dkystra a former baseball player posted a picture on Twitter this week showing a person wearing a Lets Go Brandon t-shirt that NASCAR has color-coded. Phelps said that it was an unfortunate situation and that she felt for Brandon as well as Kelli. It speaks volumes about the current state of our country I think. We dont wish to get involved in politics (left or right). Thank You ThanksBrandon BGR.com reported that the White House was well aware of Lets Go Brandon and tried to control the story when @POTUS posted a picture of President Biden meeting with a person named Brandon. I fight every day for my Build Back Better Agenda to be passed for people like Brandon. His story is like so many Ive heard across the country. Folks are just looking for a fighting chance and to be treated with the dignity they deserve and thats what my agenda is all about the tweet read. That tweet which had some 13000 likes was only retweeted about 2500 and clearly didnt take the Internet by storm as may have been the plan. The narrative was challenged and the hashtag #ThankYouBrandon began to trend over the past few weeks alongside #LetsGoBrandon. The more natural hashtag #ThanksBrandon went viral on Saturday as President Joe Biden supporters reacted to Fridays passage of Bidens bipartisan $1.2 billion infrastructure bill. Kimberley Johnson Author (@AuthorKimberley) was one of the first to get the hashtag going. She tweeted #ThankYouBrandon because Democratic voters were changing the script and taking control. For making our lives your priority #ThanksBrandon tweeted reporter Sarah Reese Jones (@PoliticusSarah). These hashtags are a reminder of the deep division in this country. But maybe things have become more civil. Roger Entner from Recon Analytics technology analyst and researcher on social media said: Social Media is all about these hashtags or slogans that keep popping up over and over. This is the social side of social media. This is the effort of the left in appropriating a slogan from the right. It has happened before with different degrees of success.
