It didn’t take long during his presidency before chants of “F**k Joe Biden,” and subsequently “Let’s Go Brandon,” had begun to sweep the nation. The phrases have become so popular that they have been enshrined in several popular songs and memes that should live on and mock the incompetent Biden, and his memory when he is gone.
Well, unless Big Tech steps in.
And sure enough – right on schedule – YouTube has officially begun cracking down on accounts and creators who post content that includes the phrase “Let’s Go Brandon!”
The Google-owned video streaming platform has already issued several guideline strikes against creators in addition to demonetizing their content and banning the videos that included the F**k Joe Biden euphemism.
Most notably, conservative hip-hop artists Bryson Gray and Chandler Crump have had their popular songs removed from the platform entirely, according to the pair who posted screenshots of their bans on Twitter.
They were informed that their videos had “violated YouTube’s medical misinformation policies.”
Update: The music video was just banned. @YouTube this is crazy.

YouTube quickly responded to Grey’s initial tweet, saying that the removal and flagging may have been in “error” and that they were going to re-review their decision, but ultimately decided that the videos should stay banned for violating their “medical misinformation” policy.
In their final response on the matter, the platform ridiculously told him that if he wanted to “discuss similar topics in your content in the future, you’ll need to include sufficient countervailing context.”
They declined his appeal request “within 5 minutes.”
I can’t post on YouTube for a week. If they also ban the music video, I don’t be able to post for two weeks.
People can promote music about drugs, sex, gang banging, and murder
But I can’t make a song called “Let’s Go Brandon”
AND MY APPEAL WAS REJECTED WITHIN 5 MINUTES pic.twitter.com/S2cGUaioa7

Keep in mind, it’s a RAP MUSIC VIDEO.
As Grey astutely points out, other artists are allowed to promote immoral and criminal behavior in their songs – like drugs, sex, gang activity, and murder – without any repercussions or demonization. Not to mention plenty of videos that call for or depict violence against President Trump that have been left alone by the platform.
YouTube didn’t just punish Gray and remove videos, they also issued 2 strikes and demonetized Chandler Crump’s (who is featured in the song with Gray) channel for posting the video. He is now banned from posting for a week and if he gets another strike his account will be permanently removed.
IT JUST HAPPENED! The final copy of the Let’s Go Brandon song previously hosted on my channel has been BANNED!
I now have 2 guidelines strikes and cannot post for 2 weeks.@RealBrysonGray @Tyson_James_ pic.twitter.com/fInFOKUG5C

On Friday, Conservative pundit Dave Rubin also weighed in to sound the alarm about YouTube demonetizing and removing videos that include the saying “Let’s Go Brandon!,” pointing out that several people have come to him with their own stories about being removed from the platform after posting the content.
Is YouTube banning people for saying Let’s Go Brandon? We must get to the bottom of this!https://t.co/rTuMDTVBOf pic.twitter.com/T5dbfbZWua

Here is the banned video in question – you can see why it was skyrocketing up the charts – KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK BRYSON AND CHANDLER!! The culture needs more of what you do; not the satanic, demented crap that is pushed by the media elite.
Enjoy!
