GA GOP Governor Candidate Doesn't Seem To Know How The "Brandon" Insult Is Actually Supposed To Work

Former US Sen. David Perdue officially announced his run for Governor of Georgia on Monday and somehow blamed his loss to Democrat Jon Ossoff on Republican Gov. Brian Kemp. Then Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, a Republican, appeared on CNN to say that the only person that Perdue can blame is David Perdue. Well, former President Donald Trump should be given some credit, too. At any rate, a slap fight between the two Republicans ensued on Twitter last month, and it doesn’t look like Perdue understands what the juvenile anti-Biden “Let’s go, Brandon” chant is about or who it refers to.

The “Let’s Go Brandon” chant is a euphemism for “f*cK Joe Biden.” After Brandon Brown won his first Xfinity race and was interviewed afterward, with fans chanting in the stands, the reporter during the interview misheard the chant and said the fans were chanting, “Let’s go, Brandon.” And that’s how the chant began as a favorite for Trump supporters.

So, it was rather weird that Perdue referred to Duncan as “Brandon” on Twitter.

Ok, Brandon 🤣

Pretty hard when our “conservative” state leaders caved to @staceyabrams — gave her everything she wanted + more. Why didn’t you fight for all of us then instead of fighting us now? You guys are too focused on fighting Trump, instead of stopping Biden & saving GA. https://t.co/j83JBTeJg1

Duncan responded.

Stop drinking the wine made from sour grapes – winners make policies, losers go home.

I suppose he’s trying to be edgy. Duncan isn’t a fan of Donald Trump’s, either. Earlier today, Duncan made it clear that he doesn’t want the twice-impeached one-term President in Georgia.

“We don’t need the traveling circus of Donald Trump to stay here in Georgia,” he said on CNN. “We need it to stay down in Mar-a-Lago, working on his handicap playing golf and let us be conservatives here in Georgia and move forward.”
