A caller has pranked US President Joe Biden by dropping an anti-Biden taunt into their chat during a White House Christmas event.
Mr Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were hosting the festive call for families when a father told the president: “Let’s go, Brandon.”
Apparently unaware of the gibe, Mr Biden said he agreed.
The term, which has become a rallying cry for many conservatives, is code for a profane insult directed at Mr Biden.
The first couple were speaking virtually with children for a White House custom, tracking the journey of Santa’s sleigh via the North American Aerospace Defence Command.
During Friday’s event in the South Court Auditorium of the executive mansion, the Bidens spoke with a family from Oregon: Griffin, 11, Hunter, three, Piper, four, Penelope, two, and their father, Jared.
“Hi. Yes sir,” replied Jared.
“OK, Dad, what do you want for Christmas?” asked Mr Biden.
“Maybe a quiet night,” he replied laughing.
