Cancel Culture comes for us all.
That’s a truth that the now former ‘Mandolorian’ star Gina Carano faces after she was fired by Lucasfilm over something she posted on social media.
The post in question comes from her Instagram account, where she was accused of comparing Republicans to Jewish people during the Holocaust.
Rabid leftists have been calling for Gina to be fired for a while now.
They’ve made baseless claims for the last year that she’s anti-science, racist, and transphobic.
The angry mob finally got what they wanted, but the backlash from the other side is already beginning to unfold.
A spokesperson for Lucasfilm announced that Carono is no longer employed by the company.
ABC News has the breaking story:
A spokesperson with the production company said in a statement on Wednesday that Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm with “no plans for her to be in the future."
“Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable," the statement read.
Carano fell under heavy criticism after she posted that “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors.... even by children."
The actor continued to say, “Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?”
This is pure hypocrisy, as 'Mandolorian' star Pedro Pascal recently made a direct comparison of America to Nazi Germany and was not fired.
As for Carano's comments, they don't even fit the bill that the crazy leftists claim.
Conservatives are already calling out Disney for their hypocrisy.
They are calling on Disney Plus users to cancel their subscriptions according to Newsweek:
The firing of Gina Carano from The Mandalorian has caused outrage among conservatives who are condemning cancel culture for the action taken by Lucasfilm.
The actress and ex-MMA fighter, who is a vocal Donald Trump supporter, shared a post on Instagram that compared being a Republican today to the experience of Jewish people during the Holocaust.
This led to her being terminated from her role on the Disney+ Star Wars series on Wednesday night.
"Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future," a Lucasfilm spokesperson said in a statement, per The Hollywood Reporter. "Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable."
The situation has seen a huge reaction on both ends of the political spectrum with two hashtags—#FireGinaCarano and #CancelDisneyPlus—both widely circulating on Twitter.
Many conservative voices are defending Carano for sharing her views and calling for others to cancel their Disney+ subscriptions.
Carano got some praise from conservative political commentator Tim Pool, who tweeted: "Gina Carano is awesome."
Similarly, far-right social media personality Mike Cernovich showed his support in condemnation of cancel culture, tweeting: "The blacklisting of Gina Carano is proof that the left views anyone who dissents as people who must be destroyed. They hate you. Don't live in denial or pretend otherwise. Stop trying to be friends or debate them. They want you in gulags. Get your mind in the fucking game!"
While YouTuber Dave Rubin added: "Disney has cancelled @ginacarano, so I'm cancelling my @disneyplus. We need to stop giving these people our money and we must build new franchises. Gina, if you'd like to come on the show to discuss anything let me know."
