Guy Who Used 'Let's Go Brandon' Slur During Biden Call Now 'Praying About' Potential Run For Office
The ex-cop and Trump supporter who used his children's Christmas Eve call with the President and First Lady to troll President Joe Biden—then alternately claimed he was only joking, the election was "100% stolen" and victimhood—is now discussing the possibility of running for office.
Jared Schmeck, the Central Point, Oregon father who told President Joe Biden on a Christmas call “Let’s go Brandon,” has now claimed he believes he’s been put in this position for a reason and is eying a run for political office. This comes after a strange little roller coaster of Schmeck trying to explain why his use of the conservative phrase which is coded wording for "f'k Joe Biden" wasn’t actually vulgar.
His shift to running for office just continues the pipeline of MAGA minion grifters using poor behavior to gain right-wing popularity.

During an interview with Christian broadcaster Todd Starnes, Schmeck was asked about his possible political future.
Schmeck responded:
“I do feel like God put me in this position for a reason. And I strongly believe that standing up is the right thing to do here as long as that message that I'm portraying is glorifying His name.”
Schmeck is actually in this position because he said a vulgar phrase to the President while on a call for children. Biden was taking calls from families while NORAD tracked Santa Claus for Christmas, when Schmeck decided to end his children's call with “Let’s Go Brandon.”
The phrase originates after a TV reporter tried to disguise a crowd chanting a curse at Biden during a NASCAR race as a cheer for driver Brandon Brown. Since then, the phrase “Let’s go Brandon” has continued to be used by conservatives too scared to just say “F'k Joe Biden.”
Despite his claim he’s not a “Trumper,” Schmeck also went on Steve Bannon’s podcast with a MAGA hat and pushed the discredited conspiracy theory the 2020 election was stolen.
So a Republican run for political office would just be the natural progression.
So this Jared Schmeck wants to run for office now. Spare me. He tries to get famous by calling out the President by saying "Go Brandon". I hate this part of our "trying to be famous culture".— Gretchen Carlson (@Gretchen Carlson) 1640737202
OMG!\n\nThese people believe the only qualification for public office is to slur a Democrat\n\nNot experience.\n\nNot education.\n\nNot character.\n\nNot morality.\n\nJust be able to name call and vilify a Democrat.\n\nThat's why we can't have nice things.\n#GOPTraitorshttps://www.rawstory.com/jared-schmeck-considers-run-for-office/\u00a0\u2026— Daline Magee (@Daline Magee) 1640722917
The fact that Jared Schmeck insisted that he wasn\u2019t a Trump supporter until he went on well-renowned Nazi Steve Bannon\u2019s show where he expressed his undying loyalty is something we should be paying way more attention to.— The Volatile Mermaid (@The Volatile Mermaid) 1640634862

As I predicted \u2014 the grift continues:\n\nDisgraced ex-cop Jared Schmeck is 'praying about' a run for office in hope that he gets to meet the corrupt, serial lying con-man in Mar-a-Lago to get Trump's official anointment.https://bit.ly/3evcBYD— Bill Madden (he/him/\u00e9l) (@Bill Madden (he/him/\u00e9l)) 1640717259
I am wondering if the major banks will consider me seeking God's advice on my mounting credit card debt.— Katherine Stephens (@Katherine Stephens) 1640717678
Schmeck has both claimed his comment was just a joke being overblown and a very serious expression of his beliefs.
Which would be strange for most people, but hypocrisy, claims of victimhood and outright lies have proven effective tools for Republicans in the Trump era and beyond.
