As Twitchy reported earlier, NBC News’ Ken Dilanian wrote a report on gun parts manufacturers capitalizing on the “Let’s go, Brandon” craze. Someone grabbed a screenshot of Dilanian reporting that he contacted the Secret Service, “which investigates threats against the president,” for comment, without any luck.
On his own Twitter feed, Dilanian confirmed that he did indeed call the Secret Service:
I called the Secret Service about this. They had no comment. https://t.co/CmcATXY5DV pic.twitter.com/vD7dblz9JG

I called to ask the Secret Service whether they consider “F—Joe Biden”emblazoned on an assault rifle to represent a security threat to the president. Which I think is a reasonable question. https://t.co/HfqZfrE7rE

It’s not. And where’s the “assault rifle” in that photo?
This is hilarious. Thanks.

Have you considered looking up “threat” in the dictionary before wasting everyone’s time?

Spend your time more productively maybe?

I don’t think that it represents a security threat to the president

Does NBC pay for your counselor? If not, I urge you to get some help. Sincere advice

Is the AR-15 in the room with you now? Is the AR-15 speaking to you?

What skewed reality you live in that this constitutes a theat?

So, the answer is yes. You called Secret Service about a meme.
— Brother Seamus (@WaynePelota) November 1, 2021
NBC News is now calling "let's go Brandon" a threat on the President's life and asking US Secret Service if they investigating. https://t.co/WRjIyCl41u

It even made MSNBC:
Liberal lunacy: MSNBC claims a novelty AR lower featuring "Let's Go Brandon" as part of the serial number and "F*** Joe Biden" on the fire selector was the gunmaker marketing "violent threats against President Biden." They even pestered the Secret Service about it. pic.twitter.com/lJuphm9uOA

If you think that was a reasonable question then I think it’s reasonable to ask why you have a prominent news media job.

Someone needs to get out of the beltway for a bit.

So you wasted the Secret Service's time.

And probably sold a lot of gun parts.
