Schwarzenegger backs Gavin Newsom’s mask order — and says anyone who doesn’t is ‘an absolute moron’

On Thursday, former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger came out in favor of Gov. Gavin Newsom's order requiring masks in public — and said anyone trying to politicize the issue "is an absolute moron who can't read."

Schwarzenegger, an actor and Republican who served two terms, has been highly critical of President Donald Trump.

California was one of the early states to be hit with coronavirus, and cases are now on the rise there after businesses have begun reopening across the country.
