‘Let’s go, Brandon!’ – the backstory of this Joe Biden meme that’s all over the Internet

[Andy Meek]

Spend enough time scrolling through Twitter, and you'll eventually come across it. A simple, three-word exhortation -- "Let's go, Brandon!" -- that's spread like wildfire across social media, this phrase has quickly become a combination anti-Joe Biden meme as well as a conservative rallying cry of sorts. You'll generally find the phrase shared in posts written by critics of President Biden, but it's gone on to become a hashtag, a meme, it's included in account names and handles -- and it even now adorns merchandise. A "Let's go, Brandon" song went viral on TikTok in recent days, garnering tens of thousands of likes. And at the recent Georgia-Auburn game, someone actually rented a plane to fly a banner with "Let's go, Brandon!" written on it.

If you haven't come across this phrase yet for whatever reason, however, we'll break down the backstory below. Basically, this catchphrase, hashtag, whatever you want to call it -- it's 2021's version of that viral clip from last year of a CNN reporter insisting to viewers that protests taking place in the frame behind him were peaceful (even though a building was clearly on fire).
