From the moment NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast uttered, “Let’s go Brandon!” it’s been a catch phrase used by the masses. But is this three-word descriptor for people’s displeasure with President Joe Biden a threat to democracy? Is it — as some of those who find its underlying message vulgar say — hate speech?
Such is the topic for many media outlets and online influencers, especially the ones who say “Let’s go Brandon!” is a new low. CNN Commentator Asha Rangappa even went so far as to compare a Southwest pilot’s “Let’s go Brandon!” pre-flight sign-off to chanting, “Long live ISIS!”
Asha Rangappa Tweet: As an experiment, I’d love for an @SouthwestAir pilot to say ‘Long live ISIS’ before taking off. My guess is that 1) the plane would be immediately grounded; 2) the pilot fired; and 3) a statement issued by the airline within a matter of hours
News of the pilot’s statement has prompted many on Big Tech platforms to say they’re boycotting Southwest unless he’s fired.
What do you think? Is “Let’s go Brandon!” an example of hateful speech? Or is it an appropriate way for those upset with current conditions to express themselves? You can talk about it at Parler.
