The thing about the guy who chose to say "Let's go, Brandon" on a Christmas call with his kids and the President of the United States and the First Lady is that he clearly made a choice. He knew it'd be controversial and offensive. He did it anyway. What more needs to be said?
Yeah, I'm angry that the President and First Lady were disrespected, especially given the occasion. Yeah, I think "let's go, Brandon" is very cringey and pathetic.
But mostly, I feel bad for his kids, who will fully understand this all later. Such a bonehead move. Embarrassing.

Purely from a comms standpoint, since he wanted to embarrass Pres. Biden, he could have gone on there and gave an earnest testimony on something like how inflation is hurting families. Doesn't matter if it's accurate. It would have been effective.
Instead, he does this shit?

That's another thing. I just can't imagine getting a few minutes with the President of the United States on an unvetted phone call on national television and not talking about your top public policy issue. Talk about an amazing opportunity.
And instead, he does this shit.

Seriously, think about the opportunity he had there. Some 60 sec. monologue that starts with "Mr. President, no disrespect intended, but we're struggling this holiday season..."
Again, doesn't matter if he were lying. That would have been very damaging.
But no. This clown shit.
