Arnold Schwarzenegger was a professional bodybuilder and has done many action movies. Arnold shared a tweet on July 4th where he was seen wearing an American flag hat and a jacket. In the tweet, he told us to keep our phones aside and spend some time with friends and family.
After this tweet, a fan also shared a video in which we can see Arnold saying, “No, screw your freedom” and captioned it, “Forgive, but never forget.” After this video, the fan also said that Arnold blocked him because of this tweet but he still likes him.
Happy 4th of July! I was born in Austria, but I am Made in America.
Consider this your reminder: put your phone down, turn off the social media, get outside, BBQ, and spend some time with your friends and family. pic.twitter.com/S0cLDc0Lxn

In response to the video, the fan stated that their initial comment aimed to remind people how even good individuals can transform into monsters when they believe they are fighting for a cause. This tweet also brought back memories for fans of the time when Arnold Schwarzenegger made the statement urging people to disregard their freedom.
Why did Arnold Schwarzenegger make the statement about freedom?
In 2021, actor and professional bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke out. The celebrity also questioned why people didn’t believe medical professionals when they warned about the coronavirus and called anti-vaxxers “schmucks” for putting their rights ahead of other people’s safety. In an interview, the Terminator actor expressed his displeasure with Americans who prioritize their rights over public health.
Arnold discussed the significance of adhering to public health regulations and urged those who claim that mask regulations harm their personal freedom to screw their freedom.
“SCREW your freedom!!!”

He said, “There is a virus here.” The only way to stop it from killing people is to be vaccinated. Wear masks, practice social distancing, and constantly wash your hands. Not merely worry about how my freedom is being kind of disturbed here. “No, screw your freedom,” replied Schwarzenegger.
The virus has the same effect as this. We must wear the mask because if we do not, we might spread the infection to others when we breathe. And we can spread a disease to someone who may end up dying. Freedom, in his opinion, entails one’s obligations and duties.
He pleaded with individuals who “don’t believe in masks” or “say we don’t have to do social distancing” to pay attention to medical professionals and follow the established rules and procedures. Schwarzenegger has spoken out in the past on COVID-19. Schwarzenegger declared his choice to support California’s decree requiring facial coverings in public areas in June 2020 to be 100% the right one.
