NBC Reporter Peter Alexander was the first to greet Jen Psaki as she returned from a bout with COVID-19 with everyone’s least favorite phrase: “Let’s Go Brandon.”

As you all know by now, the phrase is intended as code for “F**k Joe Biden.” It originated as a chant at a NASCAR event where an embarrassed reporter repeated the phrase back as “Let’s Go Brandon” to the racer, Brandon Brown, who had just won.

Alexander posed the question:

Across this country, we’ve seen the new phenomenon lately, chanted at sporting events and on signs, the phrase is ‘Let’s go Brandon,’ a sort of code for a profane slogan attacking President Biden. What does the president make of that?

Not much, apparently. Psaki replied curtly that “I don’t think he spends much time focused on it or thinking about it.” But Alexander pressed on, asking whether President Biden thinks “there are things that he can do differently, or how does he react to the stuff he sees out there, when it is one of his primary promises or desires to help bring Americans together?”

So, was Alexander actually trying to blame Biden for the ridiculous chant? As if Biden wants to constantly hear this childish and immature chant?

Psaki was concise:

Well, it takes two to move towards a more civil engagement and discourse in this country, and the president is going to continue to operate, as you said, from the promise he made early on, which is that he wants to govern for all Americans.

It’s hard to govern for all Americans when a vocal minority of them are cursing at you, though. Here in the buy and sell groups in my local area, I regularly see coffee mugs, hats, and even Christmas ornaments for sale with the phrase printed on them. It’s become ubiquitous.

That doesn’t mean Jen — or Joe — should be forced to respond to the childishness with any sort of dignified answer.

What an utterly bizarre line of questioning from @PeterAlexander — the implication being *Biden* is somehow at fault for the “Let’s Go Brandon” chants pic.twitter.com/j9AwURRzOG
