Minnesota Governor Tim Walz recently spoke out against former President Donald Trump's behavior at a campaign event, questioning his mental fitness to serve. During a town hall event in western Pennsylvania, Trump abruptly cut off the session and played music for his supporters, leaving many puzzled.

Walz, addressing the crowd at Acritude Stadium, highlighted the unusual incident where Trump stood frozen on stage for 30 minutes while his Spotify playlist played in the background. The governor even made a reference to the suggestive lyrics of the song 'YMCA' by the Village People, a track often played at Trump's campaign events.

Walz's remarks drew cheers from the audience, with many finding the situation bizarre and raising concerns about Trump's ability to lead effectively. The governor likened Trump's behavior to that of a grandparent who might need intervention for safety reasons.

He also accused Republicans of attempting to suppress votes, emphasizing the importance of active participation in the electoral process. Walz's strong stance against Trump's conduct and his call for voter engagement resonated with the attendees at the stadium.
