Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has embraced � Let�s go Brandon.�
The Republican governor on Thursday picked the small Tampa suburb of Brandon as the site of a bill signing ceremony, trolling President Joe Biden with a reference to what has become a stand-in for swearing at the president.
The �Let�s Go Brandon� line � code for �(expletive removed) Joe Biden� � has grown in popularity among Republicans who want to boost their conservative credentials.
The governor has waged a legal and media campaign against the president over White House vaccine mandates. Running for reelection and eyeing a potential 2024 presidential run, DeSantis has become one of the nation�s most prominent Republicans by opposing public health guidelines during the pandemic.
The DeSantis campaign said it picked Brandon as the place to sign a legislative package meant to hobble coronavirus vaccine mandates pushed by the Biden administration.
DeSantis sidestepped a question about the ceremony�s location.
�I think that Brandon, Florida, is a great American city,� DeSantis said, smiling as a �Let�s go Brandon� chant broke out in the crowd.

It wasn�t code, it was started because a reporter deliberately lied when they were chanting the real thing and said they were saying �let�s go Brandon�
Lying journalism to cover up lying journalism
I don’t understand coffee addict’s comment.
I am starting a new code: “Let’s go to Florida” is my code for “Let’s do something stupid.”
