Arnold Schwarzenegger Calls Efforts to Overturn Biden's Win 'Crazy and Evil'

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, rebuked President Donald Trump and GOP lawmakers planning to object to President-elect Joe Biden's win during a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, calling the efforts to overturn the election "stupid, crazy and evil."

Schwarzenegger, an actor perhaps best known for the Terminator film franchise, made the comments in an editorial published Tuesday by The Economist. The Austrian-American politician drew parallels to the rise of Adolf Hitler's Nazi party before World War II, pointing out that he grew up in a nation grappling with the aftermath of the Holocaust and Hitler's evil legacy.

"Not all of them were rabid anti-Semites or Nazis. Many just went along step by step down the road toward greater and greater evil because it was the easiest path," Schwarzenegger warned. He added that he wants to ensure "we don't take those fateful steps" in the U.S.

"President Donald Trump's actions to destroy faith in our elections and throw centuries of American principles out the window must be met with universal condemnation from all political leaders, regardless of party," Schwarzenegger continued.
