Arnold Schwarzenegger calls capitol rioters nazis


Arnold Schwarzenegger, a popular actor and the former Governor of California on Sunday appealed for unity after mobs violently attacked the US Capitol. He drew comparisons to the Nazi Germany while describing the attempted coup by President Donald Trump a failed chief “who will go down in the history as the worst president ever” he said.

The Hollywood actor compared the attack by the supporters of Trump in a video clip that went viral on twitter which was posted by the actor himself to ‘Kristallnacht’ or “Night of broken glass” in Germany in 1938 when pogroms were carried out by the Nazis where they shattered the windows of Jewish owned stores. Schwarzenegger who was born in Austria in 1947 said, “Wednesday was a day of broken glass right here in the United States.  The broken glass was in the windows of the United States Capitol” said Arnold gravely sitting at his desk in between the flags of America and California in the background. He continued saying “Growing up I was surrounded by broken men, drinking away their guilt over their participation in the most evil regime in history.”

He concluded by saying “No matter what your political affiliation is, I ask you to join me in saying to President-elect Biden ‘President-elect Biden we wish you great success as our President. If you succeed our nation succeeds” Al last he said “All those who think that you can overturn the US Constitution, know this: you will never win.”
