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

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

“But I can’t do that,” the 77-year-old wrote. “Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. For someone like me, who talks to people all over the world and still knows that America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a (sic) dustbin for the world is so unpatriotic that it makes me angry.”

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

Schwarzenegger acknowledged that he “doesn’t like either party right now,” calling out Republicans for increasing deficits and expressing concern that Democratic policies would 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 minions to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has proven incapable of working to save any other policies to pass a tax cut that has helped his donors and other rich people like me, but hasn’t helped anyone else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are bigger enemies than China, Russia or North Korea – which will not solve our problems,” Schwarzenegger wrote.

A Trump victory, he added, would be “four more years of bullshit — with no outcome that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided and more hateful.”

“We must close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know former President Trump will not do that,” Schwarzenegger wrote. “He will be divisive, he will offend, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we the people will only become more angry.”

“I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have a lot 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 don’t agreed with him. .

Schwarzenegger said last November that he viewed Trump and President Joe Biden as “both flawed” and that the country needed to “find new leaders.” In 2019, he said he hesitated he would vote for Trump in the 2020 election, and outright 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 nominee for president,” Schwarzenegger announced at the time.

Schwarzenegger and Trump have shot at each other in public before. Trump has mocked the actor’s short-lived hosting stint The celebrity student in 2017, claiming in one tweet that year Schwarzenegger “did very poorly as governor of California and even worse on the Apprentice…but at least he did his best!”
