President Joe Biden agreed on live television with a NORAD caller who said “Merry Christmas and Let’s Go Brandon,” showing support for the viral phrase that is commonly known to mean “f**k Joe Biden.”
Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were taking calls from North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Tracks Santa program.
The couple took several calls from children and parents.
One father wished President Biden a “Merry Christmas and Let’s Go Brandon” to which the president replied “Let’s Go Brandon, I agree.”
JUST NOW: Joe Biden repeated "Let's Go Brandon" during a call with a parent while participating in NORAD's Santa Tracker.

Biden seemed somewhat confused by the development, but awkwardly continued taking calls regardless.
“Let’s Go Brandon” became a nation-wide insult for President Biden after NASCAR crowd chanted “F—- Joe Biden” and a NBC Sports reporter suggested they were cheering for the 28-year old driver, Brandon Brown.
Many believe the reporter disputed what the crowd was chanting in an attempt to save face for the White House.
“Let’s Go Brandon” has become increasingly popular as the popularity of the president and the White House decrease.
Just now: While Biden and first lady were taking calls from the NORAD Tracks Santa program, a caller (a dad named Jared) ended the call with "Merry Christmas, and Let's Go Brandon."
"Let's Go Brandon, I agree," Biden replied.

.@POTUS and @FLOTUS ended today’s Christmas festivities with a call to NORAD’s Santa tracker. They spoke to several children and parents.

Conservatives mocked the 79-year-old president’s latest flub on social media.
Things are so awful even Biden is saying "Let's Go Brandon."

Really bad vibes from Jill here when you watch this clip.
She knows exactly what’s going on with Joe.
And she knows exactly what she’s doing. https://t.co/yYe7EK5kGl
