The Oregon father who told President Joe Biden “Let’s go, Brandon” during a Christmas phone call encouraged other Americans to “stand up” to the Left.
“We have seen an increase in amount of support, and it means a lot, ’cause we all know the Left is loud, and they want you to feel alone, and I don’t feel alone in this,” Jared Schmeck said this week.
Schmeck was doxxed and harassed by the mainstream media for days after a video of his phone call with Biden went viral. Since then, he said he and his family have received constant threats.
“I mean, it’s the same playbook every time, but it’s not so much the smearing and whatnot. It’s the physical threats: getting phone calls that are threatening … Other family members getting threats as well. People posting our address on the internet,” he said.
“If you don’t agree with me, I can respect that,” he continued. “But I cannot respect the nasty physical threats against our lives. That’s not something that I can stand for.”
When asked if he feels like a “hero” for saying “Let’s go Brandon” directly to Biden, Schmeck said no.
“I do not feel like a hero in any way, shape, or form. I’m just doing what I believe is right,” he said. “I do believe that we have to stand up, and given that opportunity, I ran with it.”
Schmeck hinted that he might even consider a run for political office after all of the controversy has died down.
“I strongly believe that standing up is the right thing to do here as long as that message that I’m portraying is glorifying [God’s] name,” he said. “And yeah, I’ll see where it goes once I get out of this tornado.”
