“We have to come together, rather than fighting and always just saying, ‘According to my principles, this is a free country, and I’m going to have the freedom to wear no mask.’ Yeah, you have the freedom to wear no mask, but you know something? You’re a schmuck for not wearing a mask because you’re supposed to protect your fellow members around you. He went on to call people who prioritize their own feelings amid the pandemic “schmucks” for not caring about people around them who might contract COVID and die. This is why I think we all have to work together on this.” You cannot go and not put a mask on because when you breathe, you can infect someone else, and you can infect someone that then gets sick and may die. “So this is the same thing with the virus.
I’m going to go right through it.’ Yeah, then you kill someone else,” he said. “You cannot say, ‘No one is going to tell me that I’m going to stop here, that I have to stop at this traffic light here. Schwarzenegger said that while he doesn’t want to “villainize” anyone and really wants to encourage people to work together, he argued that ignoring public health recommendations is like ignoring traffic lights. “I just think that people ought to be reminded over and over that the experts are saying that they have to wear masks, and especially when you go indoors.” There’s still people out there that say, ‘Well, I don’t have to do social distancing and all this kind of stuff,'” the Terminator star said. There’s still people that don’t believe in masks. “There’s still people that live in denial. “And so I started putting posts out there about washing your hands regularly, wearing a mask and doing the social distancing and to follow the kind of rules that the experts put out there, and to face the fact that this is here, and this is going to grow and it’s going to expand it’s going to really affect a lot of people’s lives.”īut Schwarzenegger shared disappointment and frustration over people still being in denial and refusing to trust science a year and half after the pandemic first hit, describing the current U.S.
“We were only allowed to have a limited crowd last March, that’s when I realized that we all have to now come together,” he recalled. What did Schwarzenegger say During an interview earlier this month, Schwarzenegger advocated for COVID-19 precautions and mocked Americans opposed to wearing face masks. Schwarzenegger, who encouraged trusting public health experts and scientists who have studied viruses for decades, pointed to the government’s slow approach to tackling the COVID-19 pandemic in its early days last year before sharing that the reduced capacity at his own event, the Arnold Classic sports and fitness festival, in March 2020 made him think more about the importance of tackling the spread of coronavirus as a community, not just as an individual. 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. "REDCON1 is rooted in the uncompromising unapologetic belief that you are entitled to your opinion and should not be insulted or persecuted for having a varying view.COVID Return-to-Work Agreement Extended Temporarily as Talks Continue "With that, we take a hard stance for the rights and freedoms of all Americans, regardless of political affiliation or personal beliefs," the statement continued. "We've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars being a top sponsor of the event, and this year the exclusive sponsor of the webcast, but we can't in good conscience continue to support & be involved with someone who has such diametrically opposed beliefs," the statement added. We support everyone's individual freedoms," the company said. REDCON1 is a patriotic pro-freedom brand and community. "With such prodigious influence Arnold beholds, making the public declaration, 'screw your freedoms ', is dangerous and anti-America. In a statement, REDCON1 cited Schwarzenegger's "anti-American" remarks. Sports supplement brand REDCON1 announced this week they were dropping all corporate sponsorship of Arnold Schwarzenegger and of all events related to Schwarzenegger, including the annual bodybuilding competition known as the Arnold Classic. With Freedom comes Responsibility What happened now? Schwarzenegger conceded that Americans "have the freedom to wear no mask," but called such people "a schmuck."
