A conservative codeword for "f— Joe Biden" is spreading rapidly, even to the floors of Congress

South Carolina Republican Jeff Duncan wore a "Let's Go Brandon" face mask at the Capitol last week. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz posed with a "Let's Go Brandon" sign at the World Series. Sen. Mitch McConnell's press secretary retweeted a photo of the phrase on a construction sign in Virginia.

Trump's Save America PAC sells a T-shirt with the phrase, and a Southwest pilot signed off his greeting with the phrase. The announcement was met with "audible gasps" from passengers.

Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) claimed the reported intentionally misstated the chant to deliberately "spin the message and deceive the American people." The chant happens around 4:00 in the video below.
