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.'

This marxist girly man is probably the only person in California that doesn’t realize he is irrelevant and a laughing stock to the rest of America.
That seems correct. I thought Jan6 was the Reichstag Fire while it was happening. I should have seen the BLM activity, too, for what it was.
FOAD terminated terminator !!!
I never mind being corrected, thanks. I was half right, Arnold is an idiot
Yes, funny hats, selfies and putting your feet on the desk of Nancy shook our Democracy!
LMAO
meanwhile Liberals occupying the Wisconsin state house for a month+ was just protected free speech and a proud tradition of protest!
And that apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
Gotcha.....
Just a meathead POS who is owned by Hollywood hence Deep State.
I think the proper comparison is the withholding of the publicly owned J6 surveillance videos and the Nazis total control of their media.
Excellent point.
Particularly since that was instigated and overseen by the govt
To conflate the problems caused by a relatively few Trump supporters and the majority of problems and destruction by FBI and Antifa with the rounding up and murder of millions of Jews is insane and speaks to his aggressive use of steroids and socialist mentality.
No comparison. Sorry.
7,000 Jewish business' destroyed along with 267 Synagogues. 30,000 Jews arrested and sent to camps. Death toll, 91 officially, likely in the hundreds. Death by suicide in the aftermath, 638.
That's the same as January 6 only to those who place a very low value on Jewish life and survival.
More like the Reichstag Fire, but I wouldn’t expect a mental midget like Ahnold to know the difference.
Also interesting he refers to his father as a Nazi. In the past he was an Austrian policeman though also a postmaster and military policeman. I believe Austrians, Austria having been assimilated into Germany, were eligible for membership having established their Aryan credentials. Nice he’s finally admitting his dad’s membership. I believe Gustav joined the Sturmabteilung, the original paramilitary wing of the Nazi party, shortly after Austria was assimilated.
Correct.
Very well argued. Ahnold’s getting senile.
BRAVO! We can’t compare J6 to the Reichstag Fire emphatically enough.
The BLM and Antifa infiltrators wearing MAGA gear and the FBI instigators were the Nazi types, Ahnold!
