Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz jabbed former President Donald Trump after Trump insisted during a Wednesday night town hall he and running mate J.D. Vance aren't "weird."
During the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, event with Fox News anchor Sean Hannity, Trump addressed the "weird" accusations, which Walz has been credited with launching.
"J.D. isn't weird. He is a solid rock. I happen to be a very solid rock. We're not weird. We're other things perhaps but we're not weird," said Trump.
He then attacked Walz and tried to flip the script.
"But he is a weird guy. He walks on the stage, there's something wrong with that guy and he called me 'weird.' And then the fake-news media picks it up. That was the word of the day. 'Weird. Weird. Weird.' They were all going — but we're not weird guys we're very solid people who want their country to be great again. It's very simple."

On Thursday, Walz took a victory lap at his campaign rally in Erie, Pennsylvania.
"There's a saying in politics: 'If you're explaining, you're losing," he said.
Walz said he watched part of Trump's event and tracked Trump's insistence they aren't "weird."
"Eleven times. Eleven times Donald Trump explained to use he wasn't 'weird,'" Walz said to laughter. "Ok. Ok. I didn't say it. I didn't say it. I think we might be getting under his skin a little bit."
