Families may find Christmas presents under the tree this year wrapped in paper printed with the phrase “Let’s Go Brandon.”
The founder of BringAmmo.com, Seth Weathers, told Washington Examiner, “We’ve never seen anything like this. Thanks, Joe!”
He continued, “Since launching, we’ve printed over 260,000 square feet of Let’s Go Brandon Wrapping Paper. That’s enough to completely cover six NFL football fields. That’s wild.”
As the outlet noted, that’s roughly 3,000 pounds of paper. It sells for $19.95 a roll.
According to the website, the company also sells “Let’s Go Brandon” ornaments and sweaters.

In October, the phrase became popular after an NBC reporter thought she heard cheers for NASCAR race winner Brandon Brown when they were chanting “f***” President Joe Biden, as IJR previously reported.
Since then, Republican lawmakers have even used the phrase. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) wore a dress emblazoned with the phrase during a meeting with former President Donald Trump.
“It’s not a phrase, it’s a movement! #LGB,” Boebert tweeted along with a photo of herself and the former president.
In October, Rep. Bill Posey (R-Fla.) concluded his speech on the House floor, saying Americans are calling on Democrats to “help put America back where you found it and leave it the hell alone. Let’s go, Brandon!”
Others have voiced their opposition to the phrase. Tennessee State Rep. Gloria Johnson (D) tweeted, “As a friend said, I think it should be equated with burning the flag, in essence, that’s what they are doing.”
She added, “Reading is fundamental. It’s not a legal take, it’s a person’s opinion. And as a few were smart enough to understand-both are protected speech.”
NASCAR President Steve Phelps commented on the matter, suggesting the organization does not want to “associate ourselves with politics, the left or the right.”
He explained, “Do we like the fact that it kind of started with NASCAR and then is gaining ground elsewhere? No, we’re not happy about that. But we will continue to make sure that we have respect for the office of the president.”
