31 october 2024 в 19:13
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a proud Republican, but he clearly indicates that he puts his country above party lines.
The former actor and governor of California endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday, harshly criticizing former President Donald Trump. In his statement on X, Schwarzenegger described Trump as a «candidate who will not respect your vote if it is not for him» and highlighted his failures in advancing policies that benefit the general public.
Despite his distrust of most politicians and his dissatisfaction with the current political situation, Schwarzenegger emphasized the need to «close the door on this chapter of American history», - supporting Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Tim Walz.
With just five days left until election day, let’s take a closer look at Schwarzenegger’s relationship with the Republican candidate.
The feud between them began in Trump’s first term, when Schwarzenegger took over his hit show «The Celebrity Apprentice» in 2015.
In 2017, after Trump mocked the ratings of the rebooted show titled «The New Celebrity Apprentice», - Schwarzenegger remarked, «Hey, Donald, I have a great idea. Why don’t we switch jobs?»
Ultimately, Schwarzenegger severed ties with the show later that same year. Speaking to Empire magazine, the «Terminator» star expressed that he is not opposed to working with NBC and producer Mark Burnett again, «on a show that doesn’t have this baggage».
Schwarzenegger revealed that for the first time in 2016, he would not be voting for the Republican candidate when Trump faced Hillary Clinton in the presidential election.
«For the first time since becoming a citizen in 1983, I will not be voting for the Republican candidate for president», - Schwarzenegger said. «As proud as I am to label myself a Republican, there is one label that I hold above all else — American».
He also condemned the deadly riots on January 6, 2021, at the Capitol, urging Americans to support then President-elect Joe Biden, who won the 2020 election despite false claims of election fraud from Trump and other right-wing figures.
«To President-elect Biden, we wish you great success as our president», - Schwarzenegger said shortly after the violent attack. «To those who think they can overturn the United States Constitution, know this: you will never win»
