Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger joined this week's episode of CNN's 'Who's Talking to Chris Wallace,' and defended his previous comparison of the January 6th Capitol riots to Kristallnacht violent attack on the Jewish people.

Schwarzenegger, 73, made his original comments comparing the two events in a January 2021 video, when he issued a dramatic speech slamming Trump and comparing the MAGA January 6th riot to the Nazi takeover of his native Austria.

CNN anchor Chris Wallace played a portion of his speech in the interview with Schwarzenegger on Friday before asking him whether he still stands by his original statement.

'Now, the night of broken glass, or Kristallnacht, was in 1938 when Nazi sympathizers ransacked Jewish stores and synagogues and schools,' Wallace said. 'Do you still think it’s fair to compare Kristallnacht, the Nazi attack on the Jews, to what happened on January 6th?'

The former Republican Governor replied: 'Yes, absolutely.'

Arnold sez:

"A mind is a terrible thing, and it must be stopped in our lifetime."

Muscle bound idiot.

He’s gotta say this crap so both his Hollywood and political legacy can be secured.

You are being FAR too kind.

Screw your freedoms, Arnie.

And he thinks he could be elected president. Such a buffoon!

In Germany’s case, it was the government attacking the people

Ironically, a Kristallnacht styled event is exactly what the left is planning against some of us.

He's drawing the wrong analogies. Jan6th was the Reichstag Fire. The mostly peaceful riots of 2020 were Kristallnacht.

Ahhhnold knows this of course, but then he's got a bit of the Goebbels in him doesn't he?

Correct. 100% correct.

BLM riots were the Krystallnacht.

Like father like son.

He’s hard core left the thing about communism you can’t hide it no matter how hard you try.

Hey guys he’s not Colin Kapernick. Won twice. That speaks for something. What did Kapernick ever win? Musclehead will cater to the MSM and they’ll run with it. As for the America-hater the MSM has to prime the pump every time he says anything. Couldn’t play and he’s nothing but history. Still good enough to be one of the top 32(64) QB’s? Think again.

The only Nazis on Jan 6 were the ones who took over the government and barricaded themselves in with the National Guard protecting them after the American citizens who visited their own Capitol peacefully visited.
