I suspect it's related to USA current affairs and have no clue what it's referring to. Any hints for us outsiders?

The Dem VP pick, Tim Walz, started referring to the Repubs as "weird," to which they responded by having conniption fits. Terrorists, rapists, pedophiles... all manner of names have been levied against the right, but a simple schoolyard taunt has them in tears. It's pretty interesting.
