Arnold Schwarzenegger called anti-maskers ‘schmucks’ in a perfect rant about taking responsibility
Arnold Schwarzenegger has gone viral again with comments he made in favour of coronavirus rules, in a streamed interview with retired colonel Alex Vindman.
During the conversation, which was guided by CNN’s Bianna Golodryga, Arnold compared anti-coronavirus measures like mask-wearing to obeying traffic lights, and suggested that not taking the steps was for ‘schmucks’.
He shared the relevant clip and Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding shared a shorter version.
Yesterday while I was talking with @AVindman and @biannagolodryga about Alex’s new book, I was asked about my comment about COVID misinformation that all of you are sharing. Here was my answer: pic.twitter.com/8LKhPIJ1Eu

📍Arnold—“Screw your freedom…because with freedom comes obligation & responsibilities.” Akin to wearing a mask—while you can think a traffic light🚦 restricts “freedom”—you cannot run a red light or else you can kill someone else.

His words poked the anti-mask, anti-vax tiger, and a predictable outcry followed, as they focused on the ‘Screw your freedom’ part, without mentioning the bit about taking responsibility.
Hey @Schwarzenegger
SCREW YOUR MASKS!

How surprised we all were to see that demographic cherry-picking quotes to suit their purpose.
Plenty of people were on the same page as the actor-turned-politician.

He's right, being a selfish dick and harming others with your actions is not okay no matter how much you value individual freedoms. https://t.co/wTmUeZWiyj

Perfect example of a Republican respecting truth and caring for the safety of others and not just their own perceived self-freedom. https://t.co/dK42SU5JVI

Arnold has posted several videos, encouraging people to follow coronavirus rules, but this clip of his first vaccination must be the most iconic.
Today was a good day. I have never been happier to wait in a line. If you’re eligible, join me and sign up to get your vaccine. Come with me if you want to live! pic.twitter.com/xJi86qQNcm

Or you could always follow Ted Cruz. Tough choice.
