Southwest investigates pilot who used ‘Brandon’ phrase

Southwest Airlines said Sunday it is conducting an internal investigation after one of its pilots used a phrase that’s become a stand-in for insulting President Joe Biden during the pilot’s greeting to passengers over the plane’s public address system last week.

Why?

The pilot’s use of the phrase drew audible gasps from some passengers on the flight from Houston to Albuquerque on Friday. An AP reporter was on the flight.

And did any of the passengers complain?

The airline announced its investigation after The Associated Press reported the incident in a story about the growing use of the phrase “Let’s go, Brandon,” an aphorism in conservative circles for a vulgarity targeting Biden.

Naturally, it was the media who was offended!

The phrase took off after an Oct. 2 incident at a NASCAR race in Alabama won by Brandon Brown, a 28-year-old driver who was being interviewed by an NBC Sports reporter.

The crowd behind Brown was chanting something, and the reporter suggested they were saying “Let’s go, Brandon” to cheer the driver. But it became increasingly clear to viewers that they were saying, “F—- Joe Biden.”

This announcement on the plane did not include any vulgarity, and could have been because the pilot was a Nascar fan.

Some conservatives have pointed to the episode as an example of U.S. media covering for Biden.

So the media was/is lying about biden, and are easily offended the public does not TRUST the agenda and propaganda they are pushing.

LET’S GO BRANDON!  👏👏👏👏👏

Let’s Go Brandon! Establishment Morons Are Terrified of Memes: Keep it Up!

airline pilot said it. Memes are working. NBA, CNN, NPR and others are mad that these memes gain traction over their reporting. They want to be the ones to set the tropes. Youtube and Tiktok both took actions against LGB songs.

The “Let’s Go, Brandon!” Freakout Goes Next-Level
A Southwest pilot earns ISIS comparisons for joking into a loudspeaker, as pundits continue to mass-forget the previous four years

Put on your irony helmet, this is going to be a long ride. Rangappa was referencing a story involving a Southwest Air pilot who became a headline by saying, “Let’s Go, Brandon!” during a flight from Houston to Albuquerque. Sitting on that flight, incredibly, was an AP reporter named Colleen Long who was writing a piece entitled, “How ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ became code for insulting Joe Biden.”

How did it happen? On October 2nd, at a NASCAR race at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, a crowd broke into a chant of “Fuck Joe Biden!” after 28-year-old Brandon Brown won a race. NBC reporter Kelli Stavast was interviewing Brown during the chants, and quickly spoke over them, saying, “You can hear the chants from the crowd. Let’s go Brandon!”

The phrase has since become a war cry for people all over the country, being at once a burn on Biden, the anxious, airbrushing press, and the corporate conglomerates who are taking pre-emptive action to try to prevent such outbursts from ever again darkening America’s door (“NASCAR and NBC have since taken steps to limit ‘ambient crowd noise’ during interviews,” as the AP put it).

Now WFBI agent Rangappa has essentially declared “Let’s Go, Brandon!” the equivalent of an ISIS war cry. Supportive hand-wringing from press/natsec colleagues (is there a difference?) was instantaneous. “Donald Trump tried to overthrow American democracy and at least one Southwest Airlines pilot thinks that’s just fine,” cried HuffPo’s S.V. Date. “Come fly the extremist skies,” chimed in official #Resistance mascot Aaron Rupar. Then there was Rangappa’s fellow spook-to-CNN pipeliner, former Homeland Security official Juliette Kayyem:

Is it really possible that these people don’t get they’re being trolled? Part of the joke of “Let’s Go Brandon,” of course, is that you couldn’t go five minutes during the last administration without hearing someone in pearls or a bowtie screaming “Fuck Trump!” I don’t remember Rangappa pumping out “Osama de Niro” tweets after this celebrated Tony Awards appearance:

The bigger part of the “Let’s Go Brandon!” gag is that such outbursts during the Trump years were not only not condemned, they were celebrated, as pundits and reporters for the first time told us directly profane insults of presidents were okay. “Robert de Niro’s Comments at the Tony Awards Go Viral,” was CNN’s bemused take, in a story quoting artist Ferrari Shepard saying, “Robert de Niro is my favorite rapper.”

NBC suggests G-rated inside joke about Joe Biden may be an actionable threat against the president

NBC News is here to protect President Joe Biden…from memes.

As with everything else.

You’ve probably heard of the “Let’s go, Brandon!” meme. It started first when crowds at sporting events were overheard spontaneously chanting “F— Joe Biden!” Then, on Oct. 2, NASCAR racer Brandon Brown won his first NASCAR Xfinity Series. During a post-race interview between Brown and NBC sports reporter Kelli Stavast, the crowd chanted the obscene Biden-related chant once again. Stavast apparently misinterpreted it, remarking to Brown that the audience was chanting, “Let’s go, Brandon!” It was pretty obvious they were not saying anything of the sort.

That she did, or a producer in her ear told her to say that.  I think it was the latter.

Thus was born a tamer, G-rated version of the original chant. Sports fans, activists, and even lawmakers started using the sanitized shorthand — a sort of family-friendly inside-joke mocking both the president and the media for papering over public discontent.

So, when you hear “Let’s go, Brandon!” it’s actually an evolution of the original “F— Joe Biden!”

But at sporting events, you will still get the original form.  God Bless America!

…it’s probably time the U.S. Secret Service intervene to do something about the sanitized two-tiered meme.

Or so thinks NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian. He even contacted the Secret Service this week to flag the Biden-theme merchandise.

It is call a free market, so fascist!

He adds, “A spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service, which investigates threats against the president, declined to comment.”

I’m guessing the Secret Service spox actually hung up on Dilanian rather than betray their laughter.

I think most people with common sense would too.

So, to recap: An NBC sports reporter accidentally created a meme by misreporting what a crowd chanted following a NASCAR race. Now, an NBC News reporter suggests the NBC News-created meme may be an actionable threat against President Biden’s life. It’s like a snake eating its own tail.

As the saying goes, the left can’t meme.  And this, their attempt to censor the truth (“F Joe Biden!”), and people quoting them… they don’t like it.

As it only prove the activists pretending to be media, as liars, spreading misinformation, untrustworth.

LET’S GO BRANDON!
