Arnold Schwarzenegger defended the decision made by California Gov. Gavin Newsom to mandate the use of face masks in public throughout the state.

“This is 100% the right move. This will help us beat this terrible virus. The science is unanimous – if we all wear masks, we slow down the spread and can reopen safely. It’s not a political issue. Anyone making it a political issue is an absolute moron who can’t read,” the Terminator actor and former California governor tweeted on Thursday.
