Following a NASCAR earlier race this year, an NBC reporter claimed fans were cheering on the race winner, Brandon Brown, when they were clearly chanting \u201cF*** Joe Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s good that they hunted down that guy who said Let\u2019s Go Brandon and tried to destroy his life,\u201d Walsh sarcastically posted online. \u201cIn a democracy we simply should not be allowed to talk about our political leaders that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBesides, the Left has never shown any disrespect towards Republican presidents,\u201d he said, teeing up the follow-up tweets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI distinctly remember the media and all leftists demonstrating an enormous amount of respect and reverence for the office of the presidency during the Trump years,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThey were models of dignity, restraint, and decorum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho can forget Kathy Griffin holding the severed head of the president in an effort to show how much she respected the president,\u201d Walsh noted. \u201cShe loved and respected him so much that she wanted to carry his head around with her. Truly an inspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember Robert De Niro earning a standing ovation for saying \u2018F*** Trump\u2019 during the Tony awards,\u201d the author added. \u201cHis respect for the office of the presidency was so deep and profound that he even wanted to have sexual relations with the president.
