Arnold Schwarzenegger Just Gave A Presidential Endorsement Via Snapchat

It looks like the Governator just made history: Arnold Schwarzenegger has become the first person in history to give a presidential endorsement via Snapchat, and the lucky candidate is none other than John Kasich.

Schwarzenegger took to the social media platform on March 6 to record a snapchat of the onetime body builder and actor, expressing his solidarity with Kasich despite having made overtures to give his presidential rec over to GOP contender Marco Rubio earlier on in the race.

By itself, Schwarzenegger's endorsement isn't all that surprising — the GOP hopeful and the former governor of California have been friends since the 1980s, back when the Terminator star was hosting a bodybuilding expo in Ohio. That and Schwarzenegger also gave an in-person endorsement later today at a Kasich rally in Ohio, referring to him as an "action hero."

"He kicked some serious butt," Schwarzenegger stated. "He was an action hero when he went to Washington."

As it turns out, however, Schwarzenegger's use of Snapchat as a platform to announce his endorsement isn't surprising, either. As the Verge pointed out, the man known as "Ahhhnold" has been a fan of the platform for over a year.

Whether or not you're a fan of Schwarzenegger, you have to give him props for his username: "ArnoldSchnitzel."

Even though Schwarzenegger is the first person go endorse a president using a Snapchat vid, he's not the first to give an endorsement over the Internet. A slew of celebrities (including Donald Trump, of all people) endorsed either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney on Twitter, Youtube, Facebook and Tumblr during the 2012 presidential election, and Kim Kardashian, a self-proclaimed master of the art of the selfie, even gave a rare half-faced self-taken photo with Hillary Clinton to declare her support of the Democrat hopeful in August 2015.
