Arnold Schwarzenegger compared the assault on Capitoli …

Four days after the chaos in Washington, when supporters of Donald Trump stormed the Capitol to prevent the nomination of Joe Biden, actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzegger Public a video on their social networks in which he compared the Trumpist assault to the Night of the Broken Glass in 1938, the attack by Nazi groups on shops, synagogues and Jewish homes in Germany and Austria.

“There is shattered glass in the windows of the United States Capitol, but the crowds not only shattered the glass in the windows of the Capitol, but they shattered ideas we took for granted. They not only smashed the doors of the building that houses American democracy, on the contrary, they have gone beyond the very principles on which our country was founded, ”said the leader of the Republican Party of the United States.

Schwarzenegger, of Austrian descent, revealed that as a child in his homeland, he saw broken men drink to forget their guilt of participating in the “most evil diet” in history, adding that his own father l had already drunk and beaten. his mother. “I grew up in the ruins of a country that suffered from a lack of democracy. I was born in 1947, two years after the Second World War and as a child I was surrounded by fallen men, ”he said. And he added: “I did not blame (his father) because our neighbor did the same to his family and also to the neighbor next door … I heard it with my own ears and I saw it with my own eyes. “

“President Trump wanted to reverse the results of an election, a fair election. He wanted to do a coup d’état by deceiving people with lies. My father and my neighbors were also deceived by lies“, asserted.

For the former California governor, Trump is a “failed leader” who will soon be “irrelevant” (“like an old tweet, he commented”) and accused Republicans of “no guts”, “accomplices of those who carried the flag of a clear insurrection. on the Capitol.”

Finally, at the end of his video, he referred to one of his iconic films (Conan the Barbarian), to leave a message again to the outgoing President of the United States. “It’s Conan’s sword. The more you temper a sword, the stronger it gets. The more you hit it with a hammer and the more you heat it with fire, then temper it with water and so on. you do it, the stronger it becomes. (…) Our democracy is like the steel of that sword, the more we temper it, the stronger it becomes, ”he remarked.
