Schwarzenegger blasts Trump for not attending climate change conference
Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) blasted President Trump on Tuesday for not attending a climate change conference.
“I assume my invitation to President Trump got lost in the mail,” the “Terminator” actor said at his climate conference in Vienna.
“Those of you who are fighting with everything you’ve got to maintain the status quo … or if you’re a leader harnessing the people’s fear to keep us from moving forward, your time is limited,” Schwarzenegger added.
Today I’m celebrating the dreamers and doers of our green movement and sending a firm message to the doubters @R20_AWS. https://t.co/0YXeSI8kfL
