What is the “Let's go Brandon” chant?
As per reports, the original chant was “F*** Joe Biden!” that people yelled after NASCAR driver Brandon Brown won the Xfinity Series race in Talladega, Alabama, in early October. But sportscaster Kelli Stavas, who was interviewing Brown at the time, misheard it as “Let's go Brandon” and said: “As you can hear the chants from the crowd – 'Let's go, Brandon.’”
Since then people who are not happy with President Joe Biden have used the “Let's go Brandon” chant to show their displeasure without actually saying the expletive. So, when on Saturday, anti-Biden people chanted the same thing, Trump seemed to be relishing the moment. He also shook his head in approval.
Several people commented on the recent video as a user tweeted, “I thought sports shouldn’t be political.” The second one commented, “He won’t be laughing when he’s arraigned lmfao.” “It's funny cause he got impeach twice while biden hasn't,” the third user added.

Trump's "Tomahawk Chop” video also attracted a lot of arguments on Twitter. A user tweeted, "He showed up for the racism lol." Another one mentioned, "This has big 'My best friend is black so I get to use the N-word' vibes. If a thing is racist, it's racist. Asking groups of people to say it isn't - especially in a token manner - is also racist (and I should point out those groups don't speak for everyone)."

Hmm, a bunch of white people arguing over whether this is offensive. If you have to ask...it usually is.
