To contextualise, the “Let’s Go Brandon” phrase became widely known earlier this month when NBC News sports reporter Kelli Stavast interviewed NASCAR racer Brandon Brown while the crowd chanted “F—k Joe Biden.”
During the interview, Stavast seemingly attempting to damage control the situation, claiming that the crowd was actually chanting “Let’s go, Brandon,” coining the now popular tongue-in-cheek phrase, and making it the new official “F—k Joe Biden” chant.
More recently, rapper Bryson Gray and political activist Chandler Crump produced a related song titled “Let’s Go Brandon,” which managed to top the Apple Music chart upon release.
What’s more, the official video was actually taken down from YouTube, with Gray explaining that the platform had “banned ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ song from YouTube due to ‘medical information.'”
“What medical misinformation is in the song?” He asked.

Gray’s “Let’s Go Brandon” isn’t the only anti-Biden tune to top the Apple Music charts right now, as another anti-Biden tune bearing the same title but produced by Loza Alexander also managed to make the charts twice with its original release and its extended version in 2nd and 7th place, respectively.
On Thursday, Austin retweeted a clip originally posted by Turning Point USA creative officer Benny Johnson, who clipped together some videos of President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and other Democrats which made the politicians appear as if they were dancing to Alexander’s “Let’s Go Brandon” tune.

Last but not least, there was even a proper reaction from a Biden supporter who actually thought the video was funny and didn’t condemn Austin for sharing it.
“I voted for biden and think this is hilarious,” wrote @coryjuly1988, adding, “some people just can’t take jokes or respect that not everyone has the same view and god forbid if you don’t, then you’re pretty much labeled every negative thing possible and she be canceled and blackballed from life.”
