WASHINGTON — Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger delivered a message to Congress yesterday: Grow a pair.
The beefy movie actor said members of Congress don’t have the “balls” to accomplish immigration reform.
“They are scared,” the outspoken Republican said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“I mean, you’re a political leader and you’ve come to Capitol Hill. You can’t be scared of things . . . and hope that you get re-elected and that becomes the number-one interest.,” the “Terminator” star continued.
“Think about it: that every police officer, every firefighter, every one of our brave men and women that go overseas, they risk their lives,” he said.
“And our politicians are afraid of losing their seat? I mean, it takes a little bit more balls to run this job and to do this kind of a profession. I mean, that’s how you get things done.”
Schwarzenegger was on the show promoting his new autobiography, “Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story.”
The former bodybuilding champion called the presidential race “wide open” and said he has no plan for future political life.
