"I feel for Brandon," NASCAR president Steve Phelps said in widely disseminated remarks Friday -- and he wasn't talking about "Brandon," as in the euphemism for President Biden that was born at a NASCAR race in early October. That's the race where the Let's Go Brandon meme originated.
In this case, Phelps was actually referring to Brandon Brown, the winner of that early October race at the Talladega Superspeedway. Sportscaster Kelli Stavast at one point commented during an interview with Brown afterward how the crowd seemed to be chanting in his honor: ‘Let’s go, Brandon!” As everyone probably knows by now, that's not actually what the crowd was chanting. The crowd was very clearly addressing President Biden, not Brandon. Only, with an f-bomb in front of the president's name instead of “Let’s go!” Since then, that phrase has become massively popular with conservatives -- which is why Phelps apparently decided he needed to now step into the fray.
