Arnold blasts Trump, endorses Kamala

Daily Kos:

Action star and onetime California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger released an impassioned statement Wednesday endorsing Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

“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 said in a statement posted on social media site X.

The world-renowned celebrity said that while he is fed up with the divisiveness in the country and would love to “tune out,” he can’t because “rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets.”

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

Schwarzenegger, who has previously characterized Republican nominee Donald Trump as "a failed leader," says a second Trump presidency would “just be four more years of bullshit 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 continued. “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.”
