Media Seeks to Destroy Dad Who Said ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ During Joe Biden Holiday Call
On Friday, an Oregon father saluted Joe Biden by saying “Let’s Go Brandon” during the president’s annual holiday call, and immediately after the media ramped up its attack machine to destroy him.
Jared Schmeck, a father of four from Oregon, was part of Biden’s NORAD Santa-tracking phone call. And as he ended his segment, the man signed off saying, “Merry Christmas, and let’s go, Brandon.”
Oddly, Biden repeated the phrase. “Let’s go Brandon, I agree,” he said after Schmeck hung up.
Many were outraged. But Schmeck said he delivered the anti-Biden catchphrase as a joke.
“At the end of the day, I have nothing against Mr. Biden, but I am frustrated because I think he can be doing a better job,” the former police officer told the Oregonian.
Schmeck later posted a video of his family made during the call.
Schmeck said he was actually shocked when he and his family called the hotline and got put through to the president.
“I thought it would be automated. We just waited on hold and then they answered,” he told the Oregonian. “And I thought, ‘wow, this is real.’”
“I understand there is a vulgar meaning to ‘Let’s go Brandon,’ but I’m not that simple-minded, no matter how I feel about him,” Schmeck told the paper. “He seems likes he’s a cordial guy. There’s no animosity or anything like that. It was merely just an innocent jest to also express my God-given right to express my frustrations in a joking manner … I love him just like I love any other brother or sister.”
Reardless, he said he does not regret saying it.
And the media went on the attack.
“[N]ow I am being attacked for utilizing my freedom of speech,” Schmeck said.
As The Blaze reported: “Since the moment went viral, Schmeck has been compared to an abuser, disparaged by a range of insults — including an “inadequate white male MAGA,” “an atomic level asshole,” and an “insecure, incompetent little man who has no morals,” among others — hit with thinly veiled suggestions of police malpractice for leaving a local police department, accused of fraud, and his place of employment, a family-owned company, has been spread online.”
