A while back there was an incident where someone tried to say Fuck Biden and apparently it came out sounding like Brandon.

Specifically a crowd chanted "fuck Joe Biden" and a person giving a media interview tried to play it off as them saying "Let's go Brandon" because she was interviewing Brandon Brown live after he won a race.

From their perspective, this was intentional to try to silence them so they ran with it, and hence the meme was born. The whole point is the media being cowardly and trying to silence them (in their eyes), not them being afraid to say what they mean. So it's supposed to be a simultaneous jab at Biden and at the media.
