Schwarzenegger went on to place the blame on Trump for continuing to make baseless claims of election fraud and “misleading people with lies.”

“My father and our neighbors were misled also with lies and I know where such lies lead,” he said. “President Trump is a failed leader. He will go down in history as the worst President ever.”

In addition to denouncing Trump for inciting the Capitol riots, Schwarzenegger spoke out against “those elected officials who have enabled his lies and his treachery.”

“They’re complicit with those who carried the flag of self righteous insurrection into the Capitol,” he shared. “We need public servants that serve something larger than their own power or their own party.”

As his video statement came to an end, Schwarzenegger pulled out the sword he wielded inConan the Barbarian.

“Now you see this sword? This is Conan’s sword. Now here’s the thing about swords, the more you temper a sword, the stronger it becomes,” he said. “Our democracy is like the steel of this sword.”

“We need to look past ourselves, our partisan disagreements and put our democracy first. And we need to heal, together from the trauma of what’s just happened. We need to heal, not just as Republicans and Democrats, but as Americans,” Schwarzenegger added, going on to urge his fans, no matter their political beliefs, to join him in supporting President-elect Biden.

Continuing, Schwarzenegger said, “President-elect Biden, we stand with you today, tomorrow, and forever in defense of democracy and from those who would threaten it.”
