Arnold Schwarzenegger has once again compared the Jan. 6 capital breach to Kristallnacht, the attack on the Jewish people that ultimately led to the Holocaust.<\/p>\n<p>Schwarzenegger\u2019s comments came Friday during an episode of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/videos\/politics\/2023\/06\/17\/arnold-schwarzenegger-january-6-donald-trump-sot-wtcw-vpx.cnn\">CNN\u2019s Who\u2019s Talking to Chris Wallace<\/a>, when he defended his previous opinion that the two events were similar in that they both occurred because citizens were lied to. \u201cThe Terminator\u201d actor, who strongly opposes former President Donald Trump, told Wallace that Americans are being misled the same way his own Nazi father was during World War II.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kristallnacht&#8221; or &#8220;Night of Broken Glass&#8221; took place on Nov. 9-10 in 1938. It\u2019s estimated hundreds of Jews were killed when Nazi activists smashed Jewish-owned storefronts, thus the name &#8220;Kristallnacht,&#8221; which referred to all the broken glass on the streets. Synagogues were also set on fire while homes, schools, hospitals, and cemeteries were destroyed. While Jews were already being discriminated against in Germany, the incident instigated myriad arrests and deportations and the subjugation of 30,000 Jews to concentration camps. World War II broke out nine months later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, I think that it is, of course, a different time and all that. But it is kind of like a threat to democracy and a threat of what happens to people when they\u2019re lied to,\u201d Schwarzenegger told Wallace after the news host queried him about whether or not the two incidents were a fair comparison.<\/p>\n<p>Schwarzenegger, 73, responded, \u201cYes, absolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His comments came after Wallace played a portion of their previous interview and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x_P-0I6sAck\">speech Schwarzenegger made<\/a> in January 2021 criticizing the incident and likening it to the Nazi takeover of his Austrian birthplace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd this is why I compared it to that. Because in Kristallnacht, I know my father, who was part of the Nazi party, they were lied to. They were misled. And I think a lot of people in America today are being misled,\u201d added Schwarzenegger.<\/p>\n<p>After it occurred, Nazi leaders falsely described Kristallnacht as an event prompted by an impulsive reaction to the assassination of German diplomat Ernst Vom Rath by a Jewish refugee. Pictures taken in the days after show Jewish shop owners cleaning up the resulting destruction.<\/p>\n<h2>Pointed Differences Exist Between Jan. 6 and Kristallnacht<\/h2>\n<p>Despite Schwarzenegger\u2019s view, there are, however, several contrasts between the two events. Prior to the \u201cNight of Broken Glass,\u201d which claimed many lives, Jews were already discriminated against within Germany. The Capitol breach, which was a political incident, saw one person\u2014protestor Ashli Babbitt\u2014fatally shot by police, with four more people dying of other causes either during or following the event. It also occurred alongside a peaceful protest meant to put pressure on Congress to refuse to certify the presidential vote of the Electoral College.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it didn\u2019t set off violence nationwide, although it did occur after a summer full of anti-police riots in Democrat-backed cities across America.<\/p>\n<p>And while according to the United States Departmen<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Movie star and ex-California Gov.
