Arnold Schwarzenegger always tries to stay positive and looks out for the best interest of his fans. However, there are times when even a legend like him makes mistakes. Back in 2021, when the pandemic was at its peak and the world was in a frenzy, an overwhelmed Schwarzenegger made a statement, the aftermath of which, he is facing to date. At the time, while the vaccine and wearing masks were seen as the only way to prevent the spread of the virus, many Americans refused to comply. They claimed they were free to accept or refuse the injections or wear the mask. In an attempt to knock some sense into them, Schwarzenegger used words that are held against him to date.

In one of his interviews, the Austrian Oak had asked the antis to “scr*w” their freedom and get the shot. While the pandemic is now over, many Americans are still not over his statement. While Schwarzenegger recently apologized for his remark, users have flocked to the comments section of a post to remind others of Arnie’s old statement. However, fans of the 75-year-old have come forward to defend Arnold Schwarzenegger.
