Arnold Schwarzenegger Mocks Politicians for Being Surprised Voters Are 'Using Our Middle Finger' With Protests

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

As protests continue over ICE raids in Los Angeles and more, Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn’t think politicians should be surprised. According to the former California governor, pushback is the only logical outcome, given our leaders’ actions.

Schwarzenegger stopped by “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Wednesday night in support of the new season of his show “Fubar” on Netflix, but before anything else, he and the ABC host got into politics. Looking back on Schwarzenegger’s time as governor, Kimmel joked, “Remember when you were the governor and everything was pretty good? Everything was — everybody seemed pretty happy back then, huh?”

Schwarzenegger retorted that even now, people are happy around him, just because of who he is. But, speaking seriously, he turned his attention to the protests in Los Angeles, saying they wouldn’t even be happening if politicians just actually worked on solving issues.

“For decades, almost four decades, we have had a problem where they talked about immigration reform, comprehensive immigration reform,” Schwarzenegger said. “But the Democrats and the Republicans, both of the parties, have no interest in solving this problem, because they use that to raise money.”

Can't say I agree with his both sider bit.

1. He's no MAGAt. But he is unshakably loyal to the Republican Party.

2. He dodged Kimmel's questions about the orange turd

and refused to directly say a negative word about the felon. His indirect attempts to throw shade on the slobfather were pathetic.

3. His son is half Hispanic

4. I really wish Kimmell would have referred to the bipartisan bill Trump called on Rs to defeat

Not to mention, it was the Republicans who destroyed the gang of 8 ( number may be wrong) bipartisan bill under Obama and the Republicans who defeated the Durbin dreamers bill in 2009.

The Democrats could not have passed a bill without some Republicans.

As to using it politically, this is an issue the Republicans have long used to their benefit. Other than one election where Trump family separation made the issue bad for Republicans, it has always been their choice to avoid a legislated solution.
