As a result, the MCC says it will use the phrase and the sentiment behind it to organize an event on Nov. 20 at Crossman Park in Brandon Township, near Ortonville. “The Let’s Go Brandon phrase has become a popular way to politely communicate that Americans are fed up with Washington, D.C.”Along with members of the MCC, former Indy car driver Rick Treadway -- who goes by the name “Ricky Bobby Treadway” -- will be in attendance.
