    No they weren’t no one gives a fuck if you swear. Maga people started saying it because of that news reporter at a nascar* (I believe) event. The crowd was chanting fuck joe Biden and she misheard it and it went viral.

      She was interviewing the winning driver, named Brandon, and tried to spin it into a chant for him.

      I really doubt she misheard it, the whole stadium was chanting it, she just couldn’t repeat “fuck joe biden” on the news when they asked what they were chanting.

        Naw our brains do that shit all the time - you don’t hear someone quite right, and instead of recognizing that you didn’t get the info, your noggin just fills in the blanks on its own. She very well may have clearly heard “Let’s go Brandon!”

        Perception is reality.
