A video of school-aged children chanting ‘Let’s go Brandon’ at a wrestling competition has gone viral on Twitter.
What’s happening in Independence, MO? Don’t ever let them tell you we are losing the youth. Let’s Go Brandon! pic.twitter.com/sIZkTBjY2z

The Kansas City Star reports that the video was posted originally by a Republican lawmaker:
A Missouri Republican state lawmaker posted video on social media that he said showed a group of young kids repeatedly chanting “Let’s go Brandon” in unison at a youth wrestling tournament in Independence last week. The video was posted on Twitter by state Rep. Aaron McMullen, an Independence Republican. McMullen said on Twitter that the video was filmed at Cable Dahmer Arena in Independence, which hosted the Adidas Wrestling Nationals, a K-12 tournament.
The wrestling tournament was held from April 6 to April 8, so it’s not clear what day the chant broke out.

Missouri Democrats have ben quick to criticize the video. McMullen responded several times – but may have summed it up with the tweet below.
