Candidate Denied From Using Let’s Go Brandon’ Nickname on Ballot

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - NOVEMBER 08: A 'Let's Go Brandon' sign hangs on an overpass near a ‘March for Freedom’ rally where people were demonstrating against the L.A. City Council’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for city employees and contractors on November 8, 2021 in Los Angeles, California. The City Council has set a deadline of December 18 for all city employees and contractors to be vaccinated except for those who have religious or medical exemptions. (Mario Tama/Getty Images)

Colorado politician David Williams has been blocked from using a “Let’s Go Brandon” nickname on the ballot.

The Washington Post reported Wednesday Williams sued the Colorado secretary of state last week after she denied his request to put himself on the ballot in the Republican primary for Colorado’s 5th Congressional District as “Dave ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Williams.”

Denver District Judge Andrew McCallin ruled Secretary of State Jena Griswold used “proper authority” in blocking the nickname from the ballot, as the Post reported.

In an email to the Post, Williams called the decision a “bad ruling.”

Additionally, he told the outlet he has plans to appeal the ruling.

“The Colorado Supreme Court should do its job and hear this appeal because the corrupt [secretary of state] shouldn’t be allowed to violate the rule of law,” he said.

Williams explained if the court does not hear the case, “They are derelict in their duty and lawmakers should remove their salaries or move to term them out of office without delay.”

Griswold issued a statement of her own responding to the ruling.

“The court’s decision today affirms that the content of the ballot is not a place for political gamesmanship,” Griswold said.

She added, “As Secretary of State, I will always protect Colorado voters’ right to accessible elections and that includes a ballot that is fair and transparent. My Office will continue to uphold Colorado Election law and safeguard voters’ right to make their voice heard.”

The popular slogan came out of a misunderstanding during a NASCAR race.

While the crowd was chanting “F**k Joe Biden,” the reporter heard it as “Let’s go Brandon.”

The White House has not paid much attention to the viral phrase.

“I don’t think he spends much time focused on it or thinking about it,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said when asked for the president’s opinion of the slogan.
