‘F**k Joe Biden’ chant heard at UFC 268
A clip of the crowd performing the chant during the title fight between Rose Namajunas and Zhang Weili was posted on social media.
The ‘f**k Joe Biden chant, which gained traction at sporting events across the United States in recent weeks, broke out at UFC 268 in Madison Square Garden last week.
A clip of the crowd performing the chant during the title fight between Rose Namajunas and Zhang Weili was posted on social media. The footage showed the crowd emphatically chanting the explicit phrase against the current U.S. President.
The chant was also heard at a New York Jets game at the MetLife stadium in New Jersey last month. It is worth noting that the chants are occurring in Democratic states which voted for Biden in the most recent presidential election. Biden won New York state by more than 23 percentage points, while New Jersey voted for Biden by 16 percentage points.
An alternative chant of “Let’s Go Brandon” has also gained popularity among Republicans and critics of Biden’s administration. The catchphrase originates from NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast, who claimed to have heard a section of the crowd at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama chant “let’s go Brandon” instead of “f**k Joe Biden.”
