Action star Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed he wasn’t thrilled with President Donald Trump‘s decision to pardon Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley.
While appearing on the Monday, June 23, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Schwarzenegger, 77, was asked to share his hot takes on several pop culture headlines during a game called “Maybe or Hasta La Vista, Baby?”
Host Andy Cohen told Schwarzenegger to respond, “Maybe,” if he was “into” a certain story or “Hasta la vista, baby,” if he was not into the headline presented to him.
The Terminator star and former Governor of California shared that he wasn’t interested in reality dating shows like Love Island, Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour and Trump’s decision to pardon Todd, 56, and Julie, 52. While he said, “Hasta La Vista, Baby,” about the political move, Schwarzenegger did not further elaborate on his feelings regarding the decision.
Todd and Julie were pardoned by Trump, 79, on May 28 after they were convicted for tax evasion and bank and wire fraud in June 2022. Despite being found guilty, both Todd and Julie have maintained their innocence.
Trump revealed his plan to pardon Todd and Julie during a phone call with their daughter, Savannah Chrisley, which was shared via social media.

“It’s a terrible thing, but it’s a great thing, because your parents are going to be free and clean,” Trump told Savannah, 27. “I don’t know them, but give them my regards. Wish them a good life.”
After Todd and Julie were released from prison, the Chrisley patriarch opened up about his time behind bars during a press conference on May 30. “Even though this pardon has happened, I still was convicted of something that I did not do,” he said at the time. “It could be you. It could be any of you.”
“When I left that day – there was only 317 men in our camp – they were lined up shouting when I was walking out,” he recalled. “They were saying, ‘Don’t forget us. Don’t forget us,. And my commitment to them is that I will never forget them.”
