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, who was also a former actor, said that he doesn’t “really do endorsements” and doesn’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,” he said.
The Kindergarten Cop actor said that he wants to “tune out” but he “can’t.”

“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,” he said, adding, “And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.”
He went on to complain about the national debt and the broken immigration system and how “Washington does nothing” on both issues.
“It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!” the professional bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-politician said in his endorsement statement.
Schwarzenegger said former President Donald Trump “won’t respect your vote unless it is for him” and called Trump “a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke.”

“It will just be four more years of bulls*** with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful,” he said.
Schwarzenegger’s ex-wife, Maria Shriver, recently moderated a Michigan campaign event that featured a conversation between the vice president and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY).
