拜登不知被辱骂竟回我同意
近日，作为圣诞节活动的一部分，拜登夫妇在白宫接听民众电话。一名男子在与拜登夫妇简单寒暄后，突然说了反拜登口号“Let's go, Brandon”（意指“去他的，拜登”），而拜登并不知道这句话的含义，跟着说了一遍口号，接着说“I agree.（我同意。）”
据了解，Let's go, Brandon的起源是一位采访记者的误听。赛车手布兰登·布朗（Brandon Brown）比赛获胜后，接受采访时现场观众一直高呼“Fuck Joe Biden”，记者不知道怎么地听成了“Let's go, Brandon”以为是在为布兰登·布朗加油
（可能是赛车手布兰登·布朗一开始特别激动地自己高喊We did it. Let's go. 让记者脑中一直回荡着这个句子。）
后来，“Let's Go Brandon”就火了，代替了 “Fuck Joe Biden”成了最新国骂，大家都在玩的梗。
无注释原文：
Caller tells Joe Biden ‘Let’s go Brandon’ during White House Christmas event
The Guardian
A vulgar anti-Biden slogan made for an awkward moment on Friday during Joe Biden’s phone calls with children tracking Santa’s flight when a father said, “Let’s Go Brandon.”
The refrain, a sanitized version of “Fuck Joe Biden,” has been an internet sensation since a television journalist told race car driver Brandon Brown that a Nascar crowd shouting the vulgarity was actually saying, “Let’s go Brandon.”
Biden and his wife Jill Biden were taking calls into the North American Aerospace Defense Command Santa Tracker, which follows the progress of Santa’s reindeer-guided sleigh for millions of children.
At the end of one call, a parent who gave his name as Jared said, “Merry Christmas and Let’s go Brandon.”
“Let’s go Brandon, I agree,” a relaxed Biden responded, before asking Jared if he was in Oregon. By that point, the call was disconnected.
Much about the Christmas Eve exchange was not immediately clear, including what the caller intended, why Biden repeated the slogan and whether either knew the origin of the phrase.
The White House did not respond to requests seeking comment. Jared’s full name and contact information were not immediately available.
The slogan has become popular among supporters of Donald Trump, the former US president who caused a social media storm during his own Christmas Eve phone call with children in 2018.
Trump asked seven-year-old Collman Lloyd from South Carolina if she still believed in Santa “because at seven it’s marginal, right?” Lloyd later told the media that she did indeed believe in Santa and had no idea what marginal meant.
Brandon Brown himself has expressed displeasure at the appropriation of his name for an anti-Biden slogan.
“I don’t want to be the substitute for a cuss word,” he recently told The New York Times.
