Man Who Told Biden 'Let's Go Brandon' in Christmas Phone Call Claims He's Been Getting Threats
The man who told President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden “Let’s go Brandon” during a Christmas phone call claims he was just joking and that he’s been receiving threats.

Speaking to The Oregonian on Saturday, the man — Jared Schmeck, from Central Point, OR — said that although he believes Biden “[could] be doing a better job,” he did not intend any “disrepect.”

“I understand there is a vulgar meaning to ‘Let’s go Brandon,’ but I’m not that simple minded, no matter how I feel about him,” Schmeck said. “He seems likes he’s a cordial guy. There’s no animosity or anything like that. It was merely just an innocent jest to also express my God-given right to express my frustrations in a joking manner…I love him just like I love any other brother or sister.”

However, the man, Jared Schmeck, told the Oregonian that he is not a “Trumper.” He added that he’s been receiving what reporter Maxine Bernstein identified as “vague but threatening phone calls.”

“[N]ow I am being attacked for utilizing my freedom of speech,” Schmeck said.

3. He told the President to F Off

When the President wished him a Merry Christmas. Of course now he’s the victim. He could apologize. Saying he’s sorry might be the adult thing to do, but he’s happier pretending he’s the victim, like most Cons.

30. oh booeffinghoo

Forty-seven responses thus far and not a single one condemns violence in response to speech.

Conservatives can use words like "aim for," "fight to," or "target" and we should be locked up for inciting violence.

The Left can make actual threats and it's just an acceptable "consequence" of exercising free speech.

Now who else is it who prescribes violent punishment when someone makes a joke or cartoon about their deity? Hmmm ...

Let's Go Brandon. 

I only wish I could say it to his face.

Is it still an insult if Clueless Joe has no idea what it means???

5. Ahh man .. he has every right to say what he did and every right to the blowback from all those with the right to blowback. Rights run both ways.

The only one with the “right to blowback” would be the one to whom the comment was made, which is Slo Joe. It certainly isn’t anyone else on the Earth. Maybe let him fight his own fights. Or is he too weak and out of touch to defend himself should he so choose? Because the only message being sent from Slo Joe supporters is that he’s weak and needs you to fight in his place since he can’t, apparently.

It's "patriotic" and "speaking truth  to power" when they do it.

It's blasphemy when we do it.

The poor defenseless, doddering old fool has to depend on his minions and surrogates to come to his defense.

"TFG" handled a similar situation a little differently--and all by himself:

US President Donald Trump has lashed out at Hollywood actor Robert De Niro after the star denounced him with an expletive-laden speech at an awards ceremony.
De Niro, who has previously said he would like to punch the president, received a standing ovation for his verbal attack at the Tony Awards.
But in a tweet, Mr Trump described the actor as "a very Low IQ individual".
"I watched him... and truly believe he may be 'punch-drunk'," he said.
Robert De Niro, a very Low IQ individual, has received to many shots to the head by real boxers in movies. I watched him last night and truly believe he may be “punch-drunk.” I guess he doesn’t...

That's how it's done.

I like how the paper seemed more than happy to print the callers full name and location, even though he is claiming he is getting threatened.. Most times a publication would read something like, “ the man, only identified as Peter”… or somesuch.

To DUpipo, this is fine:





And this is fine:





But "Let's Go Brandon" deserves death threats. Got it, .
