ORLANDO, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis embraced a viral chant meant as a vulgar insult of President Joe Biden and vowed to push for more election law changes next year during an official event that turned into a campaign rally at the West Palm Beach airport Wednesday.
DeSantis called for a new law enforcement agency to probe election irregularities and suggested he would ban ballot drop boxes, despite having signed a law two years ago supporting them.
The governor referred to Biden as “Brandon,” a reference to the viral “Let’s Go, Brandon” chant popularized in conservative media. The chant is code for “F--- Joe Biden,” and stems from a reporter at a NASCAR event saying during a TV interview with driver Brandon Brown that the “F--- Joe Biden” chant heard in the background was the crowd saying, “Let’s Go, Brandon.”
