Former Republican Guv Arnold Schwarzenegger Backs Kamala Harris to Avoid ‘More Years of Bulls**t’ Under Trump

Arnold Schwarzenegger announced Wednesday that he will vote for Kamala Harris in the presidential election.

The Republican former governor of California said in a statement that he “really doesn’t do endorsements,” explaining that he doesn’t trust most politicians, currently hates politics more than ever and just wants to “tune out.”

“But I can’t,” wrote the 77-year-old. “Because dismissing the outcome of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows that America is the shining city on a hill, to call America a (sic) trash for the world is so unpatriotic, it infuriates me.”

“I will always be an American before I am a Republican,” Schwarzenegger continued. “That’s why this week I’m voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”

Acknowledging that he doesn’t “like either party right now,” Schwarzenegger is calling out Republicans for increasing the deficit and expressing concern about Democratic policies that lead to more crime in cities. He said Americans “should be p—ed!”

“But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it’s for him, a candidate who will send his supporters to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to working to pass any policy other than a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but didn’t help anyone else, a candidate who believes that Americans who disagree with him are the greater enemies than China, Russia or North Korea – it will not solve our problems,” Schwarzenegger wrote.

A Trump victory, he added, would mean “four more years of bulls–t with no results that make us angrier and angrier, more divided and more hateful.”

“We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know former President Trump will not do that,” Schwarzenegger wrote. “He will divide, he will offend, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.”

“I want to move forward as a country, and while I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz,” he concluded, advising voters to vote even if they disagree with him. .

Schwarzenegger said last November that he considered Trump and President Joe Biden “both flawed” and that the country needed to “find new leaders.” In 2019, he said he doubted he would vote for Trump in the 2020 election, and straight up declared he would not vote for Trump on the eve of the 2016 election.

“For the first time since I became a citizen in 1983, I will not vote for the Republican presidential candidate,” Schwarzenegger announced at the time.

Schwarzenegger and Trump have previously taken shots at each other in public. Trump has mocked the actor’s short-lived stint as host The celebrity apprentice in 2017, claims in a tweet the year Schwarzenegger “did a really bad job as governor of California and even worse on the Apprentice … but at least he tried hard!”
