“Let’s Go Brandon” is a political slogan and Internet meme used as a substitute for the phrase “Fuck Joe Biden” in reference to Joe Biden, the 46th and current president of the United States.
Chants of “Fuck Joe Biden” began during sporting events in early September 2021. On October 2, 2021, during a televised interview with the Sparks 300 race winner Brandon Brown at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Alabama, NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast incorrectly described the chant in the background as “Let’s Go Brandon”, which sparked the meme.
The slogan has become well known through its use by Republican politicians and critics of Biden. The phrase quickly spread to popular culture, with rap songs using the phrase placing high on record charts.
