A Central Point father of four who wished President Joe Biden and the first lady a wonderful Christmas and added “Let’s go, Brandon,” at the end of a live streamed Santa tracker call told The Oregonian/OregonLive that he didn’t intend his parting message to be vulgar.

“At the end of the day, I have nothing against Mr. Biden, but I am frustrated because I think he can be doing a better job,” said Jared Schmeck, 35, who works for an electric company and was previously a Medford police officer for six years until he resigned in July 2018. “I mean no disrespect to him.”

The phrase “Let’s Go, Brandon” has become a conservative dig at the Democratic president, a code for “F--- Joe Biden,” which resulted from an Oct. 2 NASCAR race in Alabama, where a crowd was shouting the vulgar chant, but a TV reporter suggested during an interview with the driver, Brandon Brown, who had just won his first Xfinity Series, that the crowd actually was chanting, “Let’s go, Brandon.”

Schmeck said he’s not a “Trumper,” but described himself as “free-thinking American and follower of Jesus Christ.”

Schmeck said he and his family call into the NORAD Santa tracker every Christmas Eve. He said he wasn’t aware the call would be livestreamed.

1. Who buys that?

Anyone?

[Thomas Hurt]

35. lol, he is a lying sack and hypocrite for calling himself a christian.

The real problem is he got caught out.

[Roy Rolling]

43. "I meant no disrespect..."

Right. Lying is also a sin for Christians, isn’t it?

[yardwork]

78. He recorded his side of the call and posted it to Facebook immediately afterward.

He was proud of what he did. Now he's whining because he's getting criticized.

From Christmas Eve to Christmas Day, Schmeck’s parting remark to Biden fueled fury on social media.

U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-CA, wrote on Twitter, “I refuse to believe we are this indecent as people. Not on Christmas Eve. And not to a person who lost his wife and daughter at Christmastime. We are better than this. Be kind and #Merry Christmas.”

Another on Twitter wrote: “Imagine being a grown man so infantile and disrespectful that you say the slur ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ to the president in front of your own kids and dozens of others. This is a sad time.”

Others lambasted his remark. One person wrote on Twitter, “Some of us celebrate Christmas Eve w gratitude for the birth of Jesus, others shout obscenities to entertain their son and @YouTube audience.”

“Wow. #jaredschmeck is gonna trend for the first time in his life, and not in a good way,” wrote another on the social media site.

Schmeck called his remark a “joke,” and a reflection of his frustration with Biden’s policies, including the federal vaccine mandates, inflation and global supply chain problems that have caused shortages in consumer products.

9. Jared Schmuck just got a name change..

he's as moronic as the rioters storming the Capital, taking selfies and posting their pics on Facebook and Instagram with "Hey guys, look where I am!" captions..and when the FBI comes knocking on their doors they're shocked they've been found out...some people are just to damn stupid to live

3. Medford/Central Point very conservative area.

[Tree Lady]

22. Yep I live in Medford

But its not as bad as it could be. I drive a Prius and never been bothered. There are a lot of Trump signs at election time.

There are some that don't wear masks but not as many as I thought.

Its a town people in Oregon go to retire so we have a lot of seniors here.

It's cheaper here than Ashland 20 min away liberal college town and some have moved here because of that so we have Trader Joes Co op, farmers market and other places that are more liberal.

I saw some hate signs during campaign so it doesn't surprise me, but those are few.

[Skittles]

4. LOL

"a follower of Jesus Christ"

what a sanctimonious piece of shit

[badhair77]

7. Yes, and what else would Jesus say on the day of his birth but

“F you Biden.” Pure trash now trying to dance around his hateful words. I wonder if his kids are proud of him.

52. There's that Biblical passage where Jesus says to Judas "Fuck off, man."

59. it is bizarre

I am agnostic, yet I behave in a more Christian way than all the repukes I know put together....what a bunch of hypocrites they are!

[Downtown Hound]

5. Funny how all of a sudden they're denying ever being

Trumpers. I actually predicted this several years ago. I predicted that at some point, Trump would become too big of an embarrassment for them to ignore, and they would start denying that they were ever the slobbering, moronic, cult followers of his that they were.

Just like how in postwar Nazi Germany, you had a hard time finding anyone who ever supported Adolf Hitler.

[griffi94]

26. My own parents whooped it up for GWB.

Now they pretend that they've never heard of him.

[wnylib]

31. And of course none of them had a clue

about any of the Nazi atrocities, either. "We didn't know."

[SergeStorms]

36. He wouldn't deny it to...

his Trumper friends though, you can bet on that. They're all laughing like hell down at the Patriot Boys clubhouse.

8. Hey Smuck! You can't take that back after the facts!

Your ignorance just shows how pathetic your words of apologies mean. I think you knew what you were doing and most likely had people recognized your voice and tried to walk it back! My parents taught us “you can’t take it back if you said it”!

[kairos12]

10. Caught with his ass out. I hope you get a stocking full of

COVID for Christmas.

[rurallib]

11. bet he is trying to figure out how to cash in on this

and there are plenty of folks who will be more than happy to give him money for being an asshole.

I guess the good thing is he didn't kill anybody -- yet.

gets a Trump invite, guest speaks at a CPAC convention, and a Gaetz/Greene attaboy?

24. The police here are very conservative

So he must have had other issues. Wish I knew which electric place, I wouldn't use them.

[blogslug]

55. It's not hard to find it via Google

While I've no sympathy for the jerk, I won't link the electric place he works for here because it's owned by the guy's father so he won't be getting fired any time soon, plus I don't know their lives.

Use search keywords like: "Jared Schmeck, electrician, Medford"

[niyad]

96. I have no problem with naming the company. Based on the reporting that I saw here

on DU yesterday, that oh-so-"christian" company is crooked.

95. Winema Electric, a christian company. Just so happens this very "christian" company

eceived over 430, 000 in PPP. Claims they have 24 employees ((in Klamath Falls??), who average 90k/year in Klamath Falls???) Covered extensively here yesterday.

27. What a schmek

Biden could be doing a better job. Explain. You f do not get to just say shit without details. What is he not doing? Snd does it have anything to do with your fellow fascists in congress?

You didn’t mean to disrespect the president. Bill. That’s exactly what you meant. You didn’t mean to get caught.

Own up to your fascism. Don’t walk it back. Don’t be Neely mouthed about it. You get Biden. You are a member of a cult. And you are no more a Christian than I am. Would Jesus be shouting fuck you Biden. And if he did do you have any fucking idea what language he would be speaking?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

[JI7]

28. Another Asshole who needs to keep bringing up how he is a Christian because he can't just show it

with his actions. People who make a big thing in the open about their religion are almost always trash .

[wnylib]

34. Your last sentence - Jesus said the same thing, but

but not quite so colorfully.

He told people that those who pray openly in public to demonstrate how pious they are have their own ostentatious behavior as a reward. He said that God prefers the sincerity of private prayer. Then he taught people how to pray in words that became the Lord's Prayer, which is often recited in public.

[HariSeldon]

53. I, too, prefer to see people expressing their Christianity as St. Francis directed

"Preach the Gospel always; when necessary, use words."

[raccoon]

67. You got that right. Nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

32. Is there a typo in his name?

It should be Jared Schmuck, right?

“At the end of the day, I have no clue about how anything works in real life outside of catch phrases and memes,” said Jared Schmeck, 35, who works for an electric company and was previously a Medford police officer for six years until he resigned in July 2018. “So I think the country is a disaster because Fox News told me so, and a spew childish insults because I can't put an intelligent sentence together.”



Schmeck said he’s not a “Trumper,” but admitted he would “nail Jesus Christ to the cross himself if it meant Trump would come back as president.”

[keithbvadu2]

51. Would believe Trump over Jesus for credibility...

"Let me tell you," he continued. "If Jesus Christ gets down off the cross and told me Trump is with Russia, I would tell him, hold on a second, I need to check with the president if it is true. That is how confident I feel in the president."

This asshole does not like his press coverage

Link to tweet

The slogan took off in conservative circles after NASCAR driver Brandon Brown was interviewed by NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast about his victory at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama on Oct. 2. The crowd behind the interview began to chant the expletive directed at Biden, but Stavast responded: "You can hear the chants from the crowd, 'Let's Go Brandon!'"

Since then, the euphemism "Let’s go Brandon" has been repeated by a number of prominent figures on the right and Republican members of Congress have even shouted it from the House floor. When the president travels, he is often met by protesters holding "Let's Go Brandon" signs. During a campaign event for Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe earlier this fall, protesters interrupted the president's speech with "Let's Go Brandon" chants.

Jill Biden's spokesperson Michael LaRosa called the use of the slur during the Christmas eve call "sick, tasteless, classless, disrespectful, juvenile, & appalling behavior for a parent (toward any commander-in-chief)," in a statement shared to Twitter on Sunday.

"But, no reasonable Democrat is actually shocked," LaRosa added. "Grateful for a @POTUS and @FLOTUS w/dignity and class who set an example for our kids (and parents)."

During an interview with conservative Christian broadcaster Todd Starnes, Schmeck said that he hoped people would find Jesus through the "Let's Go Brandon" phrase that he used to slur Biden. Some conservatives have used the phrase as a substitute for "F--k Joe Biden."

"Do you have any aspirations for higher office?" Starnes asked. "I know people have been talking about that already."

"I want to pray about it, see what God has for me," Schmeck replied. "At the end of the day, I want His will for my life and the direction that it goes."

Link to tweet

An Oregon man who invoked a coded vulgar insult of President Biden during a Christmas Eve call-in event with the president and first lady is considering running for office and says he would welcome former president Donald Trump’s blessing.

“I want to pray about it, see what God has for me,” Jared Schmeck said of his political ambitions during an interview this week with conservative Christian broadcaster Todd Starnes that focused on his use of the phrase ‘Let’s go Brandon.”

“At the end of the day, I want [God’s] will for my life and the direction that it goes,” Schmeck added. “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. And yeah, I’ll see where it goes.”

“Something tells me if you do run, you’ll be invited to a certain place in Florida,” Starnes said, referring to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club, where the former president now lives.
