Schwarzenegger Invokes Post-Nazi Europe in Video Condemning Capitol Violence – By VOA News (VOA News) / January 10, 2021
In an emotional video message with intimate references to his childhood in post-Nazi Austria, former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger condemned the recent violence on Capitol Hill, and what he called President Donald’s Trump’s lies which incited the revolt.
“President Trump sought to overturn the results of an election, and of a fair election. He sought a coup by misleading people with lies,” Schwarzenegger, the 73-year-old former actor who most notably played the role of the Terminator during his Hollywood career, said in a seven-minute video posted on social media Sunday.
“My father and our neighbors were misled also with lies, and I know where such lies lead,” said Schwarzenegger, a Republican.
