NASCAR driver Brandon Brown says he has no interest in getting involved in politics.
New York Times media columnist Ben Smith spoke with Brown, who became the center of the anti-Biden chant, “Let’s Go Brandon.”
“Mr. Brown wasn’t listening to the crowd when he was basking in his win. He first noticed that he had become a meme when he checked Twitter, which he uses almost exclusively for tweeting about NASCAR, with the occasional mild joke thrown in, for his nearly 30,000 followers,” Smith wrote.
He added, “He thought it was kind of funny, and a couple of days later he tweeted the phrase, followed by, ‘*not political … just feelin myself.’ He tried another line later that week: ‘To all the other Brandon’s out there, You’re welcome! Let’s go us.'”
Brown told Smith, “Our whole navigation is, you want to appeal to everybody, because, all in all, everybody is a consumer.”
He continued, “I have zero desire to be involved in politics.”
The NASCAR driver explained he does not want the chant “to just be the substitute for a cuss-word,” adding, “I mean, if it’s making it more polite, then, by God, I guess, go ahead.”
Brown made it clear he wants to stay on the racing side of things.
