On Tuesday, Arnold Schwarzenegger released a video that has gone viral with almost 8 million views in which he compared the current Congress to Nickelback, hemorrhoids, and herpes, among other things.
Schwarzenegger’s point, I believe, is that gerrymandering poses a major threat to our democracy.
Apparently Nickelback didn’t appreciate being lumped in with things like cockroaches and colonoscopies so they responded to Arnold on Twitter. And quite well I might add.
.@Schwarzenegger big fans. Approval rate this: Batman & Robin. Please leave us out of your future wisdom drops. Danke Shön Herr Governator.

Oh no they din’t.
Of course the Governator couldn’t just sit idly by and let that stand…

That's… ice cold. I hope we can agree that we need a freeze on gerrymandering, guys. Thanks for the reply.
