Gina Carano
Gina Joy Carano (born April 16, 1982) is an American actress, television personality, fitness model, and former mixed martial artist. Carano, played Cara Dune on Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian. She is known for her conservative values.
In February 2021 it was announced by Lucasfilm that Carano had been fired for an Instagram post where she compared the behavior of the Nazi Party and their collaborators toward the Jewish people before and during World War II to the actions of the Democrat Party and their brownshirt collaborators toward conservatives (or anyone else holding differing views from woke far-leftist orthodoxy) today.[1][2] Controversially, actor Pedro Pascal, who plays the title character of the Mandalorian and is himself politically leftist, was not fired for making social media posts (which have since been deleted, but were saved via screencaps by other posters) where he falsely compared supporters of Donald Trump to the Confederacy and the Nazis (ignoring that the Confederacy was a single-party rogue state under Democrat rule and that the Nazis were far-Left, despite what the "modern" Western mainstream says or omits); as a result, Lucasfilm and its parent The Walt Disney Company experienced a social media backlash, with the hashtag #CancelDisneyPlus trending heavily in the wake of Lucasfilm's firing of Carano while retaining Pascal.
Carano's posting read, "Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. 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," she wrote.
On October 2022, Twitter users noted liberal actress Susan Sarandon reposted a photo to her Twitter which echoed a similar statement expressed by former Star Wars actress Gina Carano, who was cancelled by Disney and her agents for this statement, "It didn’t start with gas chambers. It started with one party controlling the media. One party controlling the message. One party deciding what is truth. One party censoring speech and silencing opposition. One party dividing citizens into 'us' and 'them' and calling on their supporters to harass 'them.' It started when good people turned a blind eye and let it happen," the post read. Twitter users were quick to note the similarities between the two posts, and asked if Sarandon would receive a similar treatment instead of still having several other works in production.
