“Let’s go, Brandon” has become a popular anti-Biden insult on the far right. But when a caller used that insult during a Christmas Eve Day broadcast, President Joe Biden was unfazed and said it back to him.
In MAGA World, “Let’s go, Brandon” is code for “Fuck Joe Biden.” The caller told Biden, “I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas as well. Merry Christmas, and let’s go Brandon.”
The president, with First Lady Jill Biden sitting next to him, responded, “Let’s go Brandon. I agree.”
When Fox News’ David Marcus wondered if Biden knew what that insult meant, journalist Yair Rosenberg tweeted:
I'm sure he and Jill know and are simply refusing to be trolled. I deal with trolls on here all the time (usually antisemites) and the best way to handle them in general is to agree with whatever bizarro thing they say rather than giving them the satisfaction of getting upset.— Yair Rosenberg (@Yair Rosenberg) 1640371031

Here are some more responses to that caller:
he handled the situation with class; the caller was a disgrace.— Mark Cooper (@Mark Cooper) 1640370898
It\u2019s extremely patriotic and \u2018real American\u2019 to tell the president to fuck himself in a cute little code after he and his wife wish you and your kids Merry Christmas. These are the people we\u2019re not supposed to mock or look down on.— Own Research Doer Michael (@Own Research Doer Michael) 1640371973
