Schwarzenegger rips Trump: 'Defending gerrymandering' wont drain the swamp

BY AVERY ANAPOL - 02/20/18 05:24 PM EST

Arnold Schwarzenegger fired back at President Trump on Tuesday after Trump encouraged Pennsylvania Republicans to challenge the state’s new court-issued congressional map.

The former GOP California governor, who has been an outspoken voice against gerrymandering, criticized the president for "defending" the practice after Pennsylvania's old map was thrown out.




The action star once called gerrymandering “one of the biggest scams politicians have ever pulled on the American people.”

Earlier Tuesday, Trump took to Twitter to push Pennsylvania GOP lawmakers to take their challenge of the new map “all the way to the Supreme Court.”

since I am a Philly native and wondered how the moron knew about this since he doesn't read and this doesn't directly involve him. Someone replied that the moron doesn't realize that PA is a commonwealth and that makes a difference. I guess the Moron's advisers are moron's too.
