It was recently reported by the New York Post that a protester shouting the viral anti-Biden phrase “Let’s go Brandon!” interrupted remarks by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday touting the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure spending law in her hometown of San Francisco.Video of the incident showed Pelosi (D-Calif.) attempting to make introductions at a press conference with San Francisco Mayor London Breed and Rep. Mark DeSaulnier (D-Calif.) when an off-camera voice was heard shouting, “Let’s go Brandon,” and chanting “U-S-A!” three times.
While several people turned to look in the direction of the heckler — including Pelosi, who briefly paused her remarks — the speaker did not acknowledge the chanting.
The phrase “Let’s go Brandon” is used by the president’s critics as a sly substitute for “F— Joe Biden.”
Fox 5 reports that the phrase ‘Let’s go, Brandon’ can be traced back to an Oct. 2 NASCAR race at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.Driver Brandon Brown had won his first Xfinity Series and was being interviewed by an NBC Sports reporter.
New York post went on to report that
Pelosi’s appearance came one day after Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) killed the president’s sweeping social spending plan known as the Build Back Better Act — and blamed overbearing White House staff for its demise.
However, Pelosi said Monday she was hopeful that Democrats could still vote on the bill early next year.
“This will happen. It must happen,” she told reporters. “And we will do it as soon as we can. There are conversations that are ongoing, but we cannot walk away from this commitment.”
