Arnold Schwarzenegger stripped of his award for harassment
The influential nongovernmental organization Common Cause has abandoned its idea of presenting its We Are the People award to former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger due to protests by activists who accused the latter of "systematic sexual harassment." This is reported by Deadline. A petition to the organization's leadership argued that "by rewarding people like Arnold, Common Cause de facto supports the harassment system and tries to silence its victims. Instead, Common Cause should contribute to the fight against this widespread problem. " The official commentary of the organization's leadership on this matter says the following:" Over a year ago, we honored Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for serving Democratic values and countering fraud among Republicans and Democrats throughout California and across the country. However, now the former governor has decided not to become a possible obstacle to our struggle and will not be present at the ceremony, and we, in turn, will not present him with the award. " Recall that in 2011 it became known that that Schwarzenegger has an illegitimate son, born by his former housekeeper.
