Arnold Schwarzenegger endorses Kamala Harris: ‘I will always be an American before I am a Republican’
The former Republican governor said that he was backing the Democrat because a Trump victory would mean ‘four more years of bullshit’
Wow, is this cycle doing some interesting things. I've never really much cared one way or the other about Schwarzenegger, but this impressed me, as it meets me where I am:
“I will always be an American before I am a Republican,” he wrote. “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 recognise our country. And you are right to be furious.”
You're viewing a single thread.
Added context for anyone who isn't aware, Schwarzenegger was the Republican governor of California from 2003 to 2011.
Adding context to context, there was a movement to change the constitution to allow him to run for president around then too
And I think he may have even said to not change it for him. I could be wrong though.
Yeah because that's a great loophole for foreign governments to install a puppet president in our country. At least currently it is a little harder.
Well, more expensive. Difficulty is roughly the same.
He emphatically said no to that movement. Dude seems to like the Constitution or something.
Nothing wrong with changing the constitution, as long as people do what's required.
You're not getting that through 35 states. There's the Congressional problem, too. He seems to understand the process and thought it would be a waste of time.
That is my recollection as well
