Republicans to troll Biden with 'Let's go Brandon' rally in Brandon, Vermont



Republicans in Vermont are going to troll the president of the United States with a "Let's go Brandon" rally — to be held in the city of Brandon.

The anti-Biden chant has become a popular placeholder for the more vulgar chant sports fans have been using at college and professional games throughout the year. At a NASCAR event in October, a reporter interviewed driver Brandon Brown and mistakenly said the crowd was chanting "Let's go, Brandon!" instead of hurling expletives at President Joe Biden.

The reporter's mistake went viral, and ever since people in the know who like to make fun of Biden have adopted "Let's go Brandon" as a clean, family-friendly way of doing so.

And with the president's approval rating tanking to the lowest levels since he assumed office, Vermont GOP wants in on the fun.

"There is little doubt that President Biden is off to the worst start of any president since Jimmy Carter. Gas prices have nearly doubled, supply chains have been disrupted, nearly every business you go to is having staffing problems," the state party said in an announcement.

"While Biden is making it harder for the people of Brandon to fill their gas tanks, get groceries and shop - let's all pitch in to do something GOOD!"

The Republicans have invited people to come get their own "Let's go Brandon" bumper stickers, t-shirts, and hats at the rally. A portion of all sales will be donated to benefit the Brandon Area Emergency Food Shelf.

"Due to supply chain issues (Let's Go Brandon!) there are limited numbers and sizes of these items that will be ready and available for Saturday. But while supplies last you can reserve yours today, and pick it up at the rally. If we run out, you can order yours for delivery at a later date," the announcement said.

The event will be held at 3:30 p.m. at Central Park in Brandon on Nov. 13.

Not everyone appreciates the joke, however.

On Friday, NASCAR president Steve Phelps condemned the "Let's go Brandon" chant as politically divisive and said the company will pursue legal action against anyone who uses the NASCAR logo in association with the chant.

In late October, an Associated Press reporter generated national controversy after she called attention to a Southwest Airlines pilot who had said the words over the intercom before taking off. Some news and political commentators reacting online called for the pilot to be investigated by the Federal Aviation Association.

Rapper behind 'Let's Go Brandon' anti-Biden song — which remains No. 1 on iTunes — speaks out about free speech double standards​​



Bryson Gray — the artist behind chart-topping anti-Biden rap song, "Let's Go Brandon," said this week that social media's ban on his hit song serves as another example of free speech double standards in America.

What are the details?

For the third straight day on Tuesday, conservative rapper Bryson Gray's hit new song claimed the No. 1 spot on iTunes' top songs chart. Its popularity seems to be growing by the hour — and that's despite the fact that the song's official music video has been removed from YouTube and Instagram.

In an interview with BlazeTV's Glenn Beck on Tuesday, Gray argued the bans show we are living "in crazy times."

The rapper said he has reached out to YouTube multiple times asking which specific lyric they concluded amounted to "medical misinformation" amounting to grounds for removal, but the company has yet to respond.

"Has anybody sat down and listened to the most popular rap song that's not banned?" the conservative Christian rapper asked, insinuating that it likely contains vulgar or harmful content. "But you banned my song because you don't like that it questions the narrative and it's the consensus of the CDC. Even though the CDC changes their consensus every two weeks."

Later in the interview, Gray suggested that it's a sign of the times in the U.S. as big technology companies and the left continue to unite to restrict speech that they don't like.

"I know we like to say, we're all free. But in reality, in the public space, only one side has free speech," he suggested. "They can say whatever they want about Jesus and just get away with it. They can literally do whatever they want. Meanwhile, we can't even question [or] make a joke, then we're banned on platforms."

Gray did note that things may be starting to swing the other direction in a sense. He theorized that if it weren't for Big Tech banning his song, it might not have garnered so much attention.

What's the background?

In the song, Gray and featured artists Tyson James and Chandler Crump take swipes at the sitting president for his faulty leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic, botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, mishandling of the border crisis, and more.

In the chorus, Gray repeats the phrase "Let's Go Brandon" — a variation of the chant, "F**k Joe Biden," that has gained popularity in recent weeks after an NBC reporter at a NASCAR race wrongly insisted that fans in the stands were chanting "Let's Go Brandon" instead of the latter.

"Pandemic ain't real, they just planned it," Gray raps in the song's chorus.

In prophetic fashion, he also states, "When you ask questions, they start bannin'."

Anything else?

Following news that the song had topped legendary artist Adele's new single on the iTunes chart, music writer Roger Friedman took a swipe at Gray and Trump supporters, in general.

"The temporary displacer is a moronic single called 'Let's Go Brandon!' by Bryson Gray, an anti-Biden record for anti-vaxxers," charged Friedman. "Idiots are pushing this piece of crap up the iTunes chart, but no one in their right mind would spend money on it. It's not a song, or a record, it's just garbage."

"Adele will be back at number 1 by tomorrow," he insisted on Monday.

But on Tuesday, the opposite happened. Adele's single actually slipped to No. 3, only to be replaced by yet another "Let's Go Brandon" song at No. 2, this one by rapper Loza Alexander. Gray's song remained at No. 1.

Two 'Let's Go Brandon' rap songs top iTunes charts; one anti-Biden anthem banned from YouTube, Instagram



The internet phenomenon of "Let's Go Brandon" started out with NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast mishearing or covering up an anti-Biden chant during a NASCAR race on Oct. 2.

The crowd was chanting "F*** Joe Biden," but the reporter claimed they were cheering, "Let's go Brandon," for winning driver Brandon Brown. "Let's Go Brandon" immediately trended on social media and ignited a tidal wave of memes. The anti-Biden slogan is the title of two rap songs topping the iTunes chart.

As of Sunday afternoon, the top song on iTunes is "Let's Go Brandon" by Bryson Gray featuring Tyson James & Chandler Crump. The anti-Biden song dethroned legendary singer Adele, who has sold more than 120 million records. Wearing an "Impeach Biden" T-shirt and a MAGA bucket hat, Gray raps about vaccine mandates, gun rights, and government overreach in Australia. He also prophetically raps, "When you ask questions, they start bannin'."

The accomplishment was even more impressive since his "Let's Go Brandon" song was banned on YouTube and Instagram. YouTube likely has an issue with the song lyrics that question the pandemic. Instagram said Gray violated community guidelines for sharing "harmful false information."

"YouTube has banned 'Let's Go Brandon' song from YouTube due to 'medical information.' What medical misinformation is in the song? Whoa," Gray wrote on Twitter.

On Saturday, Gray fired back at YouTube for censoring his hip-hop song, "I want to thank YouTube for banning my 'Let's Go Brandon' song. All y'all did was piss a bunch of people off and made more people go listen to it. Let's Go YouTube. Commies."

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) pointed out that while the anti-Biden song was yanked from YouTube, the hyper-sexualized and borderline pornographic music video for the song "WAP" by Cardi B. and Megan Thee Stallion is available on YouTube.

It should also be noted that YouTube allows rappers on the platform to express extremely violent themes, such as DMX talking about raping a girl as young as 16, N.W.A. glorifying a gang rape before murdering a woman, and Eminem bragging about murdering his ex-wife's new husband and his son by slicing their throats.

Gray celebrated the incredible achievement of being the #1 song on iTunes by thanking his supporters.

"WE DID IT. FROM BANNED ON YOUTUBE TO PASSING ADELE ON THE ITUNES CHARTS TO BECOME THE #1 SONG IN THE COUNTRY! Stop being afraid of censorship," the Christian conservative rapper tweeted. "Stop being afraid to be cancelled. STAND UP. Thank y'all so much! KEEP IT GOING!"

The "Let's Go Brandon" music video is still up on YouTube Music, which is strictly for music videos and is different from the general YouTube platform that is more popular.

Instagram just banned the music video also. Haha cute but it’s too late, https://t.co/UrHBqfqfgi

Rapper Loza Alexander also recently released a "Let's Go Brandon" song. He utilizes a sample of the now-infamous "Let's go Brandon" sound clip from NBC Sports, and he questioned whether the reporter knew that the crowd was shouting an anti-Biden chant.

"Tried to cover up, but tell the people, 'Go Brandon,'" Alexander raps while wearing a "Make Music Great Again" hat. "But we know what they sayin', though. You can hear thе chant in every post."

"Don't nobody want this commie 'causе we not in China," the rapper says of President Joe Biden.

His version hit #1 on the iTunes hip-hop charts on Oct. 14, and it is currently the third most popular song on all of iTunes.
