WOODSTOCK, N.H. Jeers from about two dozen protesters gathered about a quarter-mile away from President Bidens visit didnt go unnoticed.

Shouts of Lets go Brandon could be heard clearly throughout Bidens 20-minute speech atop the deteriorating Pemigewasset River Bridge on Tuesday. Behind the bullhorn was Chau Kelley, a Hooksett Realtor with a penchant for protesting.

The anti-Biden slogan has gone viral over the last month after supporters of former President Donald Trump and Biden critics broke out into a chant of (Expletive) Joe Biden at an Oct. 16 NASCAR race. NBC reporter Kelli Stavast misreported fans shouts while interviewing driver Brandon Brown after he captured his first race win at Alabamas Talladega Superspeedway, turning the phrase into a viral, anti-Biden sensation.

Kelley said shes been actively demonstrating all over for about 20 years.

Im here because the Biden administration is hurting Americans every day, she said. People are suffering. Gas is almost $4 per gallon. Because of inflation the cost of food is rising. It costs me $60 two times per week to fuel up my car. Thats a lot of money.

New Hampshire Republican National Committeeman Christopher Ager of Amherst said demonstrators have seized onto the message as the polite way to taunt the president.

Red and blue Trump hats and several flags peppered the small crowd of protesters gathered at the bottom of the hill leading to the bridge, but it was just Trump supporters

Ager, who declined to align himself with Trump, said hes against the spending orgy in Bidens companion Build Back Better bill which proposes $1.85 trillion in spending for social programs.

The lower and middle class are really getting screwed here, said Larry Borland, a self-described Libertarian from Wolfeboro. Borland carried a sign showing how much inflation has driven up the price of food ahead of Thanksgiving.
