GOP Congressman Under Fire for “Let’s Go, Brandon” Mask

CLAY: A congressman wore, Buck, a “Let’s go, Brandon” mask at the Capitol. “Let’s go, Brandon” of course a viral meme reflecting upon the media’s coverage and continued complicity in pretending that things are not going poorly for Joe Biden. And that did not make Maggie Haberman of the New York Times very happy. In fact, she said it was a huge breach of decorum. That’s play cut 18.

HABERMAN: It’s a huge breach of a norm that — I don’t even know how to describe as a norm because this is just something I never would have imagined should be — would be doing is wearing a mask with that message but again the goal is all, agitating, the goal is up a about getting people upset. That’s the point. I think there’s that Adam Serwer column about the cruelty is the point. The trolling is the point, too, and that’s where we’re at. Again as you see we’re talking about a sitting congressman.

BUCK: Oh, please I want to tell all these people with their “norms,” the journos to go Fauci themselves. You gotta be kidding me. This is crazy, all right? First of all, they were saying for years that Donald Trump was a Russian spy who was guilty of treason and was part of some tape that I can’t even describe on the air. They lied about all this stuff. And now they want to lecture us on norms! You’re not allowed to have memes that are mean about Joe Biden. I’m sorry.

I understand that for them this is for their audience, the delusional CNN, New York Times readers who think that their readers and viewers such as they are, are all the really good, sophisticated people that would never do such a thing. Clay, what they did to Donald Trump for years, the things they said about him, the artwork, the — you know, the memes they created about Trump, I never want to hear from them again about, “Oh, it’s about decorum.”

And look, “Let’s go, Brandon” is funny. I mean, that’s a big part of it, too, and I would be happy saying “Let’s go, Brandon” in front of a room full of 10-year-olds because it’s okay to say “Let’s go, Brandon.” It’s funny. Yeah, there’s a backstory to, but there’s a backstory to a lot of things. But, you know, the hand-wringing here, liberals, “Oh, they’re so mean to Joe Biden.” Joe Biden’s apparently speaking salty like a sailor all the time. No offense to sailors, but they do kind of use salty language. That’s the situation.

CLAY: I’m wearing a “Let’s go, Brandon” T-shirt right now, Buck, which is the irony here. I’m gonna wear it. It’s the kind of in Braves’ colors; so I’m gonna wear it to World Series game 1 tonight in Houston. So you’re gonna be at that game, we got a lot of people listening in Houston. Look for the incredibly attractive bearded man or just a bearded man kind of a little bit chubby with his son — that will be me in the “Let’s go, Brandon” shirt.

BUCK: I think you’re not gonna be the only one in a “Let’s go, Brandon” shirt, by the way.

CLAY: I bet you’re right. You know who’s also is gonna be at Game One sitting near me? Jesse Kelly. We may have to meet up. Wouldn’t shock me if he was also wearing a “Let’s go, Brandon” shirt.

BUCK: Jesse Kelly’s gonna hang out with you again at a sporting event? Now I’m starting to feel like I’m missing out.

CLAY: I’m doubling down.
