Arnold Schwarzenegger, former governor of California, announced he’s endorsing Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

“I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians. I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor,” Schwarzenegger wrote.

“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 is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious. And I will always be an American before I am a Republican,” he added.

“That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. 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 stated.

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

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 love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

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.

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. Because 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 is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

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.

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.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. 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!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea – that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bulls*** 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.

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.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. http://vote.org

“Arnold, you are a washed up moral coward, and you won’t find a better example of a scummy lowlife. You impregnated your nanny, covered this up for decades, and then finally acknowledged your son when it could no longer be denied. During Covid you supported the most draconian lockdowns. You wanted every American forcibly injected with an experimental therapeutic, which was dishonestly called a vaccine,” Mike Cernovich responded.

“‘Screw your freedom,’ was what you, a washed up fornicator and alcoholic, said to people who refused to live in a state of panic and hysteria. You were in movies and built a great body when you were in your 20’s and 30’s. When other people gave you the lines, you sounded smart. You have no insight, you’re not an intellectual or philosopher, and morally speaking, you’re a total goober,” he continued.

Here’s a flashback to Arnold ‘Screw Your Freedom’ Schwarzenegger during COVID-19.

Per Newsweek:

Schwarzenegger has consistently criticized Trump over the years. Their feud began in 2017 when Schwarzenegger succeeded Trump as host of the reality TV show Celebrity Apprentice. The former president frequently mocked Schwarzenegger’s ratings as the new host of the NBC series, sparking an ongoing exchange of insults.

In September 2019, Schwarzenegger told Men’s Health magazine that the root of their animosity is that the president is “in love” with him.

“He’s in love with me. That’s the reality of it. With Trump, he wants to be me,” Schwarzenegger said.

In June 2023, Schwarzenegger told CNN anchor Chris Wallace that didn’t believe that Trump could win a second term.

“You need the swing voters, you need the independents. And so the question is, can he do that? I believe he can’t,” Schwarzenegger said.

Schwarzenegger is one of several Republicans who have endorsed Harris. Last month, former Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney voiced her support for the Democratic candidate.
