A political statement of sorts was apparently recently announced over the public address system at Gate G8 at the international airport which serves the greater Chicago metropolitan area, as a passenger was somehow able to get “American is Paging Passenger Let’s Go Brandon” broadcast as a practical joke.
Video: “American is Paging Passenger Let’s Go Brandon”
The phrase “Let’s Go Brandon!” — and #LetsGoBrandon — originated from when Brandon Brown finished in first place at a NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama on Saturday, October 2, 2021. After the race car driver won, Kelli Stavas — who is a reporter with NBC Sports — interviewed him.
Starting at approximately 0:59 in the video below, the crowd started chanting “F*** Joe Biden! F*** Joe Biden! F*** Joe Biden!” from the stands as an opportunity to express a political statement in displeasure against the current president of the United States which was purposely meant to be broadcast on national television — and has been chanted in other sports arenas, stadiums, concert halls, and other public venues — but Stavas reportedly misheard the chants as “Let’s Go Brandon!”
Ever since that moment, the gaffe — whether it was accidental or intentional, as what the crowd was chanting seemed to be quite clear — now is a cleaner way of saying “F*** Joe Biden!” instead of a sign of positive reinforcement for Brandon Brown…
…but at 8:24 in the morning on Friday, October 8, 2021 an individual identified only as Brick Suit allegedly was successfully able to have the announcement “American is Paging Passenger Let’s Go Brandon” broadcast over the public address system at the gate at which an airplane was scheduled to depart.

Final Boarding Call
In addition to the aforementioned incident at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Brick Suit was also purported responsible for getting “Delta Air Lines is Paging Recall Newsom” broadcast announced over the public address system at Gate A25 at the international airport which serves the greater Atlanta metropolitan area as a practical joke. An effort to recall Gavin Newsom — who is the current governor of California — had been under way, with no fewer than 46 candidates who qualified for the ballot in the second gubernatorial recall election in the history of the state — but Newsom survived the recall.
As for the sentiment as to how Joseph R. Biden is doing as president of the United States, I will say only two thoughts: I have never seen crowds of people all over the world use an expletive to describe the displeasure of the performance of a sitting president of the United States…
…and I do not recall a rule being put into place in recent decades that in order to qualify to become elected as president of the United States, candidates are required to perform significantly worse than their predecessors once they are elected to office…
