“Your heroes are losers.”
In an exclusive to ATTN, Austrian-born Arnold Schwarzenegger issues a strong and heartfelt message to white supremacists and neo-Nazis.
He calls on US President Donald Trump to reject their ideology publicly and has even gone as far as writing a speech for Trump to do so.
He describes Nazism and white supremacy as a “losing ideology” following the violence in Charlottesville last weekend.
Schwarzenegger condemns the presence of hate groups in the United States in the video stating: “I knew the original Nazis, because you see, I was born in Austria in 1947, shortly after the second world war,” Schwarzenegger says.
“I can tell you that these ghosts [hate groups] spent the rest of their lives living in shame and right now, they’re resting in hell,” he continues.
The former professional bodybuilder addresses Trump’s “moral responsibility” and states that the only way to argue with loud voices is to meet them with even louder more reasonable voices.
“The world is watching. Now, let me help you write your speech a little bit,” Schwarzenegger says.
“‘As President of the United States and as a Republican, I reject the support of white supremacists. The country that defeated Hitler’s armies is no place for Nazi flags. The party of Lincoln won’t stand with those who carry the battle flag of the failed Confederacy.'”
Schwarzenegger has begun making a string of issue-driven shorts in a deal with new media company ATTN. A video he created about the Paris Climate Agreement clocked up over 77 million views on Facebook.
