WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden was subjected to a right-wing anti-Biden slur during a Christmas Eve call with NORAD's Santa tracker.
Biden and the first lady were speaking with families around the country who had called into the North American Aerospace Defense Command to receive an update on Santa's location when one parent ended the conversation by saying: "Let’s go Brandon."
The president did not appear to recognize that the phrase was a euphemism for "f--- Joe Biden," and responded: "Let’s go Brandon, I agree."
The slogan took off among conservative circles after NASCAR driver Brandon Brown was interviewed by NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast about his victory at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama on Oct. 2. The crowd behind the interview began to chant the expletive directed at Biden, but Stavast responded: "You can hear the chants from the crowd, 'Let's Go Brandon!'"
Since then, the euphemism "Let’s go Brandon" has been repeated by a number of prominent figures on the right and Republican members of Congress have even shouted it from the House floor. When the president travels, he is often met by protesters holding "Let's Go Brandon" signs. During a campaign event for Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe earlier this fall, protesters interrupted the president's speech with "Let's Go Brandon" chants.
When asked in early November what Biden made of the popularity of the phrase, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said: "I don’t think he spends much time focused on it or thinking about it."

The above article shows one of the nearly countless examples of the double standard the media holds when reporting about issues with the right and left sides of the aisle.
The American public has grown used to the numerous attempts by pseudo-professional media outlets to portray the political left as incapable of any wrongdoing while actively portraying the right as the greatest threat to modern civilization. This latest instance of people on the right verbally expressing disapproval for the person labeled the president when for the last five years, an army of thousands of trolls have provided a constant stream of toxic, fallacious, and juvenile insults against former-President Trump in news, on Twitter (as comments under every single presidential tweet), in his press briefings by unhinged news reporters, and from foreign leaders (many of whom were later found to be corrupt).
The unhinged responses which constantly spewed from political and corporate sources directed against Trump were so extreme, they eventually evolved into an official anxiety complex (Trump Anxiety Disorder) which many people reportedly now suffer from. The propaganda campaign against Trump is still going on today through continuous harassment about old politicized talking points and past events while at the same time, the media deliberately ignores the alleged criminal activity and corporate/political compromise of Biden and his son, Hunter.
The standard of insulting the president at will was set by the bias left-wing media and Twitter-sphere. Yet now that this same standards is being used against leftist political figures (to an extremely lesser degree), suddenly the media now claims there is a problem. Therein lies the double standard of the corporate media.
It's not difficult to remember just how vicious the attacks against Trump were, but one particular instance falls directly in line with the recent "Let's-Go-Brandon" phrase chanted by modern opponents of Biden.
