Schwarzenegger penned this nauseating op-ed for the Washington Post.
I became a proud Republican before I even understood English.
I immigrated to the United States in the heat of the 1968 presidential campaign, when the choice — as I heard it through a friend’s translation — was simple. Hubert Humphrey, with his talk of government programs, sounded too much like an Austrian politician. Richard Nixon talked about freedom, getting the government off our backs and giving the people room to grow. I was hooked.
The moment I became a citizen in 1983, I registered Republican, and I’ve never thought about checking any other box. I am proud to be a member of the party of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan. From the Civil War to the Cold War, their moral vision led this nation to our greatest triumphs.
As an American, I’m incredibly concerned about what happened in Indiana this week and the threat of similar laws being passed in other states. As a Republican, I’m furious.
Speaking of furious, read this BS:
Now I’d like to speak to some of my fellow Republicans. I know plenty of Republicans who are sensible and driven to solve problems for America. They believe in Reagan’s vision of a big tent where everyone is welcome. This message isn’t for them.
It is for Republicans who choose the politics of division over policies that improve the lives of all of us. It is for Republicans who have decided to neglect the next generation of voters. It is for Republicans who are fighting for laws that fly in the face of equality and freedom.
I’ll pass on taking advice on what Ronald Reagan would have wanted from an obviously clueless Hollywood jackass with severe infidelity issues.
