Brandon Brown
[T]he “Let’s Go Brandon” meme that has been making its way around the internet thanks to Twitter. But what does it actually mean? A small incident in an interview with a NASCAR driver has intersected with politics and brought new life to a chant about the president.
According to Know Your Meme, “Let’s Go Brandon” is from an interview with NASCAR racer Brandon Brown and NBC that took place in Oct. 2021. He had just won the NASCAR Xfinity Series. In the background, the crowd can be heard chanting “F–k Joe Biden!”
But in what might be an effort to remain professional, the interviewer, Kelli Stavast, said that the crowd was saying “Let’s go, Brandon!”
“Brandon, you also told me — as you can hear the chants from the crowd,” Kelli says before the camera pans to the audience. In the video, you can clearly hear the audience say, “F–k Joe Biden!” Although Brandon doesn’t seem to be paying attention to them.
As of now, neither Brandon nor Kelli has responded to the meme. And it’s not clear whether she actually misheard the crowd or if she was trying to cover up what they were chanting.

I just can’t get past Brandon’s twerpy, soy boy hairdo.
Is this really a NASCAR driver?
This dink somehow ended up at the front of the pack when the race was called because of darkness, and was gushing like a high school girl during his interview, complete with “OMG!!!!” and “Unbelievable!!”.
A.J. Foyt or Andy Granatelli would have used him for the dipstick that he really is.
Oh and F&^k Joe Biden…

I watched the interview. I am a near deaf, 60 year old, and it was crystal clear what was being chanted by the crowd, on a device, and we are expected to believe this stupid wench could misunderstand that, in person?
No. Hell no. This is gaslighting, plain and simple. She didn’t vote for Trump.

I love this. People who don’t want to be blatantly vulgar can express their sentiment.

So much nonsense has been written about this. Kelli Stavast is a sports reporter, not a political pundit. Knowing that the network was potentially in trouble for broadcasting the f word, she made a small joke about it. It wasn’t “gaslighting”, it wasn’t a “liberal media coverup”, it was a small joke to salvage an awkward situation.
