The phrase "Let's Go Brandon" recently became a meme after a reporter interviewing NASCAR driver Brandon Brown allegedly misheard the crowd, who were chanting "F**k Joe Biden" not "Let's Go Brandon."
Republican Congressman Bill Posey, R-Fla., wrapped up a floor speech on Thursday by saying, "Let's go, Brandon!" He used a popular anti-Biden chant which has been widely yelled at college football games across the US in recent weeks.
In his speech, Posey criticised President Biden’s Build Back Better economic agenda, saying that it can't "pass a straight-face test."
A video showing the end of the congressman's speech has been shared online.

"Let's go, Brandon" has become a euphemism for the "F**k Joe Biden" chant, which has been widely used at college football games and anti-government events attended by people who are dissatisfied with President Biden's policies. "Let's Go Brandon" became a popular joke after an NBC reporter who was talking to racer Brandon Brown after a NASCAR event misinterpreted a crowd that was chanting "F**k Joe Biden."
