Jared Schmeck of Oregon has been identified as the caller who said “Let’s go, Brandon” to President Biden during his NORAD Christmas Eve call tracking Santa’s sleigh and he’s now trending on Twitter:
Schmeck was interviewed by The Oregonian’s Maxine Bernstein and explained what he really meant by it:

He told the paper, he meant no “disrespect” to the president:
“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.”
And:
“I am being attacked for utilizing my freedom of speech" for expressing "my frustrations in a joking manner,” complains Jared Schmeck, the #Oregon father of four who told @POTUS: 'Let's go Brandon.' https://t.co/GOPb1OBtYW

Sorry, Jared. It’s too late for that. They smell blood in the water:

The only story CNN likes better than a missing white woman story is an anti-Biden white man story:

Sigh:
#JaredSchmeck, who told President Biden to F**k off live, is trending and Jared doesn't seem too happy about it.
What an exciting few days he's going to have. pic.twitter.com/ofb29kJawk— Steve Marmel 💉 💉 💉 (@Marmel) December 26, 2021
Please tell me #JaredSchmeck is a character from @dontlookupfilm who prank-calls scientists to say "Don't look up." This can't be a real person. Not with that name and that ignominious claim to fame.

Your kids will never forget the day you ruined their call with the President and all you’re worried about #JaredSchmeck, is that people are “attacking” you for insulting Joe Biden to his face by saying you’re wrong to be a jerk.
SAD.

It’s really weird how this keeps happening:
Let’s Go Brandon dad has been made into a bigger monster than the Waukesha killer
