Joe Biden received a brutal surprise when visiting a Chicago suburb.

He was reportedly there to urge people to get vaccinated.

There were plenty of people in “deep-blue Illinois” who were unhappy about Biden’s visit, Western Journal reports.

Video footage shows protesters chanting “Let’s go, Brandon” as well as one person holding a sign that read “Let’s go, Brandon.”

Ah, but yes, Brandon. This chant tends to break out at sporting events, including at the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Talladega earlier this month. Brandon Brown scored his first win there and one reporter misinterpreted the crowd’s sentiments:

Warning: Some of the video footage contain explicit language that some viewers may find offensive.

No, the grandstands at the 2.66-mile oval at Talladega aren’t known for a surfeit of progressive Democrats, but Elk Grove Village, Illinois, isn’t exactly that far outside of the Democratic stronghold of Chicago. In fact, it’s adjacent to O’Hare Airport, which serves a city that would sooner elect a rabid communist otter than a Republican. And it’s not as if Biden did much to convince the area’s residents during his visit:
