To "go political" means to take an active interest, and be engaged and involved in things related to politics. In this case it is being used as a joke because the puppet is making a joke about the president. It's not a serious political statement. Ex: My mom has gone political in the lead up to the election. Ex: I never thought my brother would go political, but I guess university has really changed him.
