Arnold Schwarzenegger is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, joining other “Republicans In Name Only” to fearmonger about former President Donald Trump.
The actor and former California governor took to social media Wednesday to announce his support for the Democrat Party ticket while declaring he is not happy with “either party right now.”
“I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians,” Schwarzenegger began his lengthy post on X. “I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.”

My time as Governor taught me to…

The “Terminator” star, who served as governor from 2003 to 2011, laid out his criticism of Democrats and Republicans.
“Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime,” Schwarzenegger said.
“It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand. I want to tune out. But I can’t,” he added.
Slamming Trump without naming him, the 77-year-old actor said “Rejecting the results 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 America is the shining city on a hill, calling America … a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious,” he said, unsurprisingly taking Trump’s comments out of context.
“And I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz,” announced the Austrian-born former professional bodybuilder.
“I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious,” he continued, contending that “Washington does nothing” about the national debt, immigration reform, and other issues.
“The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better. It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!” Schwarzenegger said.
He continued his attack on Trump and the events that unfolded at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Schwarzenegger warned that a second term for Trump “will just be four more years of bullsh– with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.”
“We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, 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,” he claimed.
“That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz,” he concluded.
Schwarzenegger urged his more than five million followers to vote, “Even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans.”
In a telling reaction, other RINOs applauded the actor’s take.
Well said

But Schwarzenegger found mixed reactions on X where many were not buying what he was selling.
Thank you for showing that we can disagree and still get along!
