is in the middle of yet another COVID-19 surge, only 59% of people ages 12 and up are fully vaccinated, and harmful COVID-19 misinformation abounds on social media. Schwarzenegger's words may be forceful, but perhaps his palpable frustration is warranted at a time when the U.S. “Yeah, you have the freedom to wear no mask,” he said, “but you know something? You're a schmuck for not wearing a mask because you are supposed to protect your fellow members around you.” We will always have more work to do, but that’s part of what makes us great.Ultimately, Schwarzenegger encouraged viewers to work together to protect one another from COVID-19. “It is how every society since the beginning of civilization worked, and the United States, with all its flaws, is the pinnacle.

“We can see limitations on freedom all around us, because that’s how society works,” wrote Arnold Schwarzenegger. Even in the worst case, if you paid a fine or got kicked off an airline for refusing to wear a mask, did you lose your freedom? “If you are someone who thinks masks are an infringement on your freedom, can I ask what happens to you when you get caught not wearing a mask? Is it that you are politely asked to put one on? Or is it that you may be asked to leave the business if you refuse? At worst, you might have paid a fine? Was your freedom really taken away? Think with your learning brain, not your emotional brain right now. Lastly Arnold Schwarzenegger addressed the idea of wearing a mask as being an infringement on freedom. We have to be able to come together.” Are Your Freedoms Really Under Attack? We have to stop making everything political, or we will be in big trouble when the next crisis strikes us. That makes me worry about how we would respond to an even bigger challenge. We haven’t been able to come together around very simple steps that can help prevent the spread of this disease. “We are constantly choosing our feelings over learning and being open-minded to other ideas. “A lot of our news sources, whether it’s social media or mainstream news, and whether it is left or right, prefer that you’re emotional instead of informed.”Īrnold went on to address how many people are choosing their feelings over the facts. That’s beautiful.”Īrnold also addressed media and news outlets that aren’t doing their due diligence to inform the people with unbiased information. And I have the right to say what I believe. “In fact, if nothing else, this whole episode has made me say, ‘I love this fucking country.’ Because you know what? All of these people have the right to complain, and they won’t be sent off to prison. “When the worst thing that happens to me this month is some people yelling at me, then losing a sponsor for the Arnold Sports Festival, that’s when you realize how lucky we are to live in this country. We lost a sponsor of the Arnold Sports Festival, we added new sponsors immediately.
ARNOLD SAID SCREW YOUR FREEDOM MOVIE
“With all of this going on, it was a wild week! One of my favorite strongmen I’ve ever worked with took my poster off of his gym wall, then a bodybuilder who played me in a movie copied that move, which wasn’t very creative. Arnold Schwarzenegger also addressed this in his newsletter. Aaron Singerman of REDCON1 had issues with the comments and removed his sponsorship from the Arnold Sports Festival. They think being an American means not caring about their fellow Americans, and I’m sorry, I can’t accept that.” Addressing The FalloutĬalum von Moger and Brian Shaw weren’t the only ones who were upset with Arnold’s words. “These are people who yell “FREEDOM” in their American flag hats while not taking any time to study the history of our nation and how freedom and duty have ALWAYS gone hand in hand. “If they listened to the whole quote, they would have realized that I am talking about all of the whiny babies that I see going viral on the internet who think that being asked to put on a mask is a perfect reason to throw a toddler fit in a grocery store and look like an absolute child.

“That’s fine! They have the right to choose clickbait instead of informing their audience,” wrote Arnold. In his most recent newsletter, Arnold Schwarzenegger wrote in detail about the comments he made in the interview and unpacked his words. What did Schwarzenegger say During an interview earlier this month, Schwarzenegger advocated for COVID-19 precautions and mocked Americans opposed to wearing face masks.

Well it seems that the legendary bodybuilder is finally ready to open up more and further address the comments. Arnold Schwarzenegger's pro-face mask tirade in which the former Republican governor declared 'screw your freedom' has lost a corporate sponsor because of his rant.
