'I believe as shaken as we are about the events of recent days, we will become stronger because we now understand what can be lost,' he said.

Schwarzenegger then talked of his past, explaining that he grew up “in the ruins of a country that suffered the loss of democracy." The actor was born in 1947, two years after the end of WWII. He said that during his childhood, he was surrounded by “broken men" who were overcome with their guilt “over their participation in the most evil regime in history."

“It all started with lies, and lies, and lies, and intolerance,” he said. “So being from Europe, I’ve seen firsthand how things can spin out of control. I know there is a fear in this country and all over the world that something like this could happen right here.”“President Trump sought to overturn the results of an election, and of a fair election,” he said. “He sought a coup by misleading people with lies. My father and our neighbors were misled also with lies and I know where such lies lead.

“The good thing is he will soon be as irrelevant as an old tweet. But what are we to make of those elected officials who have enabled his lies and his treachery?” he said. “I will remind them of what Teddy Roosevelt said: ‘Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.’”“They’re complicit with those who carried the flag of self-righteous insurrection into the Capitol. But it did not work,” he said. “Our democracy held firm.

To conclude his message, he asked viewers to join him in wishing President-elect Joe Biden success and offering his support. “If you succeed, our nation succeeds," he told Biden. “And to those who think they can overturn the United States Constitution, know this: You will never win,” Schwarzenegger stressed. “President-elect Biden, we stand with you today, tomorrow, and forever in defense of our democracy from those who would threaten it."

You are disgusting for fueling the fire!!!

Since many people won’t delve further it’s disappointing to me that you chose not to highlight his summation about coming together behind President-elect Biden.

Yes he is a liar. A cheater but he never incited the violence and death your President did to his own fellow man

Tetrisnet And it seems the complicity of the pentagon staff to hinder support going to the capitol building made it much worse than it would have been otherwise...

👍

So true!

Mike_Pence It is time to remove Trump with Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, he’s dangerous. Trump is following the Hitler’s Playbook. If he seizes power, Trump’s next move would be his “Night of the Long Knives”. Where do you think you are on Trump’s list Kurt von Schleicher?

BLM RIOTERS BAILED OUT BY HOLLYWOOD SCUM BAGS

This is worse than 9/11 because the Traitors and Assailants are among us; American citizens brainwashed and poisoned by the President of the USA and his enablers in the Government, and by a Party turned into a Corrupt Cult. This is utterly heartbreaking, it is Inside Treason.

Lies that keep getting repeated until the people believe.

history sez nazis learned their tactics from the early .ooo1%ers; 2da many repeat 'nazi' actions w/o crediting the former

Unlike Trump who had no government experience, Arnold would have been better.

We know what's been lost - our country! It was stolen from us. Wanton election fraud.

Arnie knows all about lying . Has he forgotten about lying and cheating on his wife .

Like sleeping with the housekeeper

Hey Arnold - were you also in the basement with Biden when the BLM riots occurred. Play the June Riots and cut the sound. OH bet you can not tell the difference. You don't condemn them. Maybe you need a talk from the teacher.

He’s right

His perspective, as an Austrian born immediately in the aftermath of WW II is humbling....The full clip is fascinating...

TrudeauMustGo

Yeah ok Hollywood

Why dies he speak up now!

He’s the king of lies !!! Come on Arnold

Yeah, like CNN lies

You mean lies like the “walls don’t work” or “some people did something”

Welcome to the party. We have been saying this about ANTIFA for a year. Why so late?....oh, I know...ideological inconsistency. Go home with your tribal hate BS.

NIXON,REAGAN,BUSH (NRB) et al. accepted white supremacists in the modern-day Republican party (not Lincoln’s Republican Party). “Vote for me, keep quiet..I got your back”. NRB set it up for the CON orange 🍊 dude. 45 told those folk to COME OUT LOUD..& TAKE OVER your party.
