Arnold Schwarzenegger Explains His Republican Philosophy: 'Get Things Done'
The Republican former governor of California urged Republicans and Democrats to work together.
Former California governor and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger explained his Republican philosophy during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday. The appearance has since gone viral, garnering over 2 million views on the show's YouTube channel. Schwarzenegger stated that a traditional Republican is someone who admires the party for having freed the slaves and granting enslaved people citizenship and the right to vote.
He emphasized that while the current Republican Party stands for different things, his philosophy aligns with that of former presidents Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, who worked together with Democrats to achieve meaningful legislation. Schwarzenegger believes that Republicans and Democrats need to collaborate to pass significant legislation and highlighted the lack of progress on immigration reform, reducing debt, and implementing a universal health care system under both Democratic and Republican administrations.
Despite the party's current division, Schwarzenegger emphasized the importance of Republicans and Democrats working together, much like they did when he was governor of California.
