Progressive Writer Doggedly Tracks Down Creator of Biden ‘I Did That’ Gas Pump Stickers

At Business Insider, writer Nina Burleigh decided that there was a need to track down the originator of this organic campaign against Joe Biden. (As a sign of where Burleigh’s allegiances rest, she is infamous for proclaiming she would have serviced President Bill Clinton with oral sex because of his pro-abortion stance.)

Here’s how Burleigh sets the table for her quest to root out the original aggressor.

The “I Did That” stickers are perhaps the most ubiquitous and successful piece of political propaganda that the counterculture right has produced in its semi-deranged campaign to blame Biden.
Dutifully, the reporter set out to find the seminal culprit behind this adhesive scourge seen in fuel stations across the map. It would prove to be no easy task, as the ubiquitous labels have been around for some time. Burleigh managed to undercut the preferred media blame for the surging prices on Putin, noting that these octane notices have been around for nearly a year already. “They started appearing on pumps across the country last summer,” she admits.

This makes the archaeological dig for what she calls an, “onslaught of weaponized merch,” all the more difficult. But undeterred, Burleigh began combing through various sales pages, all in the name of pinning down the person who first produced these affixed inflammatory banners.

Who created the “I Did That” stickers, and why? Was it a MAGA truck driver outraged at soaring gas prices? A right-wing operative looking to stoke the flames of conservative discontent? Marjorie Taylor Greene, with a stack of blank stickers and a few hours to kill at a Kinko’s? No one knows. So I set out to locate the source of Sticker Zero.

Nina attempted to pin things down via some early social posts about the stickers, then began contacting numerous retail outlets with questions and probes, but came up empty. Then her intrepid sleuthing paid off – when the creator actually contacted her. Robert “Bobby” Naklicki, president and CEO of Redneck Nation called Burleigh directly with the announcement that he was the original source of the dastardly decals.

My favorite part.

If Burleigh was of the mind that outing Naklicki will bring an end to this craze, or at the least bring him and his company enough pressure to curtail their campaign, she is mistaken. As has been proven repeatedly in the Biden era, those on the right have a deft hand with this type of organic messaging. When a NASCAR reporter attempted to deflect from fans cursing out the president, the “Let’s Go Brandon” phrase instantly swept the country for months.

In fact, Naklicki’s company made a move on that term – they pounced, if you will. “We trademarked ultramaga.com right away.,” he said, calling it “the new ‘deplorables.’”
