What was first a media error became a viral meme — and it's spreading through the apparel market.

After an NBC News reporter interpreted a NASCAR crowd's chants of "f*** Joe Biden" as "let's go Brandon" — she was interviewing driver Brandon Brown at the time — the saying became somewhat of a slanderous sensation across the internet. It has since turned into a selling point for merchandise vendors.

The slogan is wearable on hats, T-shirts, and even masks. Raucous opponents of President Joe Biden have been spotted chanting at Trump rallies, football games, and in the street.

WinRed, a Republican fundraising platform, sells "#FJB" shirts on its site through former President Donald Trump's Save America campaign. The hashtagged acronym stands for "f*** Joe Biden," and the shirts are decorated with Biden's face and a similar pattern to the NASCAR logo.

At Saturday's Iowa demonstration, one Trump fan wore his own design: a "let's go Brandon" red ball cap in the style of the former president's Make America Great Again hats.
