**DES MOINES, IA –** A video of Iowa Republicans attempting a synchronized dance to Village People’s “YMCA” has gone viral, not for its skill, but for its comedically poor execution. The clip, originally posted to Facebook, was featured on Fox News’ “The Story With Martha MacCallum,” where it prompted laughter and a surprising suggestion from host MacCallum and contributor Tyrus.
The video shows Republicans struggling to maintain rhythm and timing while attempting to mimic Donald Trump’s signature stiff arm movements. The performance, lasting just over 20 seconds, was deemed by MacCallum as “the longest 20 seconds in television.”
Tyrus, reacting to the awkward display, jokingly suggested President Trump add a “rhythm counselor for white America” to his administration. This comment, met with laughter from MacCallum, sparked a lighthearted discussion about how to improve the nation’s collective dance skills. Possible solutions included appointing a cabinet member specifically for rhythm training, with Fox Business Network’s Charles Payne even being suggested for the role.
The irony is not lost, given that “YMCA,” a frequent fixture at Trump rallies for the past five years, is even slated to be performed by the Village People at Trump’s upcoming inauguration. The Iowa Republicans’ attempt, however, is unlikely to be remembered for its grace.
