Arnold Schwarzenegger, action icon and former governor of California, said during his Wednesday appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” that he’s “absolutely” still an outspoken member of the Republican Party.

“Yeah, I’m a Republican, absolutely,” he said. “A traditional Republican is someone that admires the Republican Party for having freed the slaves.”

Jimmy Kimmel pointed out that Republicans “don’t get credit for that anymore,” and Schwarzenegger replied, “This is the history. This is what I’m about. Someone that has given those slaves American citizenship and given them the rights to vote.”
