Arnold Schwarzenegger has called anti-maskers ‘schmucks’ and told Americans who are have complained that regulations encroaching on their ‘rights’: ‘Screw your freedom.’
The Terminator star and Republican warned listeners on a YouTube chat show:
‘There is a virus here, it kills people, and the only way we prevent it is get vaccinated, get masks, do social distancing, washing your hands all the time, and not just to think about “well my freedom is being kind of disturbed here.” No, screw your freedom.’
The 74-year-old former governor of California compared the covid mandates to obeying traffic lights to keep everyone safe.
He added that Dr. Anthony Fauci had been ‘studying this stuff their entire lives’ and needed to be respected and listened to by Americans.
‘Yeah, you have the freedom to wear no mask. But you know something, you’re a schmuck for not wearing a mask because you’re supposed to protect the fellow members around you,’ Arnie said.
‘I don’t want to villainize anyone here,’ he continued, ‘but I just wanted to tell everyone, let’s work together and let’s stop fighting because there is a virus, and it’s better to get vaccinated [and] to wear a mask.’
