Boat decorated with "Let's Go Brandon" and "FJB" 1st place in Yorktown Xmas Boat Parade

[link:https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/12/09/christmas-boat-parade-lets-go-brandon/|https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/12/09/christmas-boat-parade-lets-go-brandon/
]


A boat decorated with "Let's Go Brandon" and "FJB" in lights won the Yorktown VA Christmas boat parade.

The 50-foot vessel named Southern Rock, owned by Bill Berger, went on to win the 25th annual Yorktown Lighted Boat Parade’s “Best in Show” award.



After complaints from people who watched the parade, the award was revoked.

The owner of the boat was the usual Republican unapologetic asshole.

“If you choose to interpret ‘bad words’ that’s on you,” Berger wrote in the post. “No curse words ever from my boat.”

Berger told WAVY that “FJB” stood for “falling Joe Biden,” accompanied with a display in which the president was falling down a ladder. He admitted he was shooting for an anti-Biden theme.

“I think our message got across,” Berger said.

I love how he turns it on everyone else by saying:

We Never Used Cuss Words. If That's How People Interpret It, Well That's On Them.

And having Joe Biden on a ladder just makes PERFECT sense. Far more sense than the other interpretation of FJB.

Is this guy a defense attorney?

This is just 15miles from me!

The area is populated with military, retired military, CIA, and contractors.

These people cannot plead ignorance; of course this p.o.s. and the crowd knew what he was saying with that message.

Yes it did. Every sane, decent person thinks you are a complete asshole.

Mission Accomplished Bill.
