Willing to bet Tapper did NOT expect AH-NOLD to defend the Republicans, otherwise, he likely wouldn't have invited him on for the interview.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is correct. Jake Tapper likely knows that.

We're not 100% sure Jake knows this, but hey, we'll let it go. And yes, the history is worth reading.
How ridiculous is Jake Tapper? What a joke.
