Joe Biden and wife Jill answered calls from US citizens on Christmas Eve.

A man insulted the president live on TV.

This then caused confusion.

Washington DC - In the USA, this tradition belongs to Christmas like gingerbread, the Christmas tree or the feast: the Santa Claus tracker of the US Air Defense Command (Norad).

The military establishment provides a website on which children can follow Santa's "travel route" around the globe.

President Joe Biden and his wife Jill watched the custom live on TV and spoke on the phone with callers from among the US population.

While the conversations are usually limited to harmless Christmas wishes, one caller caused a scandal.

He used a code to insult the US President - and Joe Biden agreed.

Joe Biden offended live on TV - US President causes amazement with reaction

The caller "Jared" revealed himself to Biden as the father of four children.

Biden spoke briefly to the children, asked them what presents they wanted for Christmas and told them to be in bed before midnight.

He also mentioned that he and "Jared" both had sons named Hunter.

At the end of the call, Biden wished “Jared” a “wonderful Christmas”.

He replied: "Merry Christmas and Let's Go Brandon!"

Biden insult "Let's Go Brandon" is particularly popular among Trump supporters

"Let's Go Brandon" is a code that is popular among supporters of former US President Donald Trump. The slogan stands for the vulgar abuse "Fuck Joe Biden". It has its origins in a TV incident in early October 2021 when a journalist for NBC interviewed a car race winner, Brandon Brown. While the fans were clearly singing “Fuck Joe Biden” in the background, the reporter said they were singing “Let's Go Brandon”. The phrase spread like wildfire in right-wing circles.

While Jill Biden understood the meaning of the slogan and showed her discomfort, President Joe Biden reacted naively.

Biden replied: "Let's go Brandon, I agree." It is unclear whether Biden understood the allusion, his wife Jill rolled her eyes during the scene in irritation.
