Gina Carano Tweets
The Walt Disney Co. dropped actress and MMA star Gina Carano from its hit Disney+ series The Mandalorian on Thursday, caving to a cancel campaign after the actress compared the current political climate to Nazi Germany on social media. But in what appears to be a corporate double standard, her co-star Pedro Pascal has also conflated current politics with Nazi Germany and remains employed by the studio.
- 'Texan Gina Carano broke barriers in the Star Wars universe: not a princess, not a victim, not some emotionally tortured Jedi,' the junior senator from the Lone Star State tweeted Thursday.
- — Gina Carano (@ginacarano) August 5, 2020 Replies to Carano’s final tweet are, of course, filled with further allegations of racism and demands that Carano publicly acknowledge and declare unqualified support for the Black Lives Matter and “Defund the Police” movements or face unenumerated consequences.
Gina Carano actively promotes hateful, bigoted views, has tweeted misinformation +conspiracies about the American election, doesn't support wearing masks/treats COVID like a hoax, liked tweets. Actress and MMA champion Gina Carano is coming under fire for her controversial Twitter presence. The 38-year-old, who is best known for her role as Cara Dune in 'The Mandalorian,' has been called 'transphobic' by her critics for a recent social media stunt that, some argue, mocked trans people and their allies.
The difference is that while Carano compared current Democratic policies to the Nazis, Pascal likened the Trump administration to Germany’s Third Reich.
In a 2018 tweet, actor Pedro Pascal attempted to smear the Trump administration by comparing the detention of migrant children at the border to Nazi concentration camps. Pascal used the hashtag #ThisIsAmerica while juxtaposing photographs of a Nazi concentration camp dated 1944 and what appears to be a photo of migrant youths in a border facility.

Pedro Pascal didn’t mention in his tweet the fact that the Obama-Biden administration built many of the fences, often referred to as “cages,” at U.S. border facilities that were used to detain adults and separate them from children apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border.
While Gina Carano has espoused libertarian and right-leaning views on social media, Pascal has promoted his progressive ideology and left-wing politics on Twitter.
On President Trump’s last day in office, Pascal tweeted “BYE.” When Twitter banned the president earlier last month, the actor expressed his joy.
BYE.

This week, he praised his transgender sibling, Lux, who recently came out as a transgender woman. In Spanish, he tweeted “my sister, my heart, our Lux.”

Since starring in Netflix’s Narcos, Pedro Pascal has seen his Hollywood career skyrocket. In addition to The Mandalorian, which is currently in its second season, the Chilean born star appears in Wonder Woman 1984 and is set to star in HBO’s adaptation of the video game series The Last of Us.

It got to the point that on late Saturday night, #FireGinaCarano was trending on Twitter.
Carano, 38, has questioned the results of the presidential election since it took place Nov. 4, echoing President Donald Trump’s baseless claims of voter fraud.
We need to clean up the election process so we are not left feeling the way we do today.
Put laws in place that protect us against voter fraud.
Investigate every state.
Film the counting.
Flush out the fake votes.
Require ID.

Carano, a pioneer of women’s MMA, also has openly questioned the validity of the coronavirus pandemic, which is responsible for 245,000 deaths in the U.S. and growing, drumming up conspiracy theories.

On Saturday night, she encouraged her 449,000 followers to join her on Parler, which is described this way on Wikipedia:
Parler is an American microblogging and social networking service launched in August 2018. Parler has a significant user base of Trump supporters, conservatives, and right-wing extremists. Posts on the service often contain far-right content, antisemitism, and conspiracy theories.
Here’s a sampling of the outrage being expressed on Twitter:
It’s really disgusting how John Boyega and Kelly Marie Tran were viciously attacked by racist and sexist people, resulting in reduced roles and zero support from Disney, and Gina Carano gets a major role while associating herself with those very same people. #FireGinaCarano

#FireGinaCarano She outright made fun of Civil Rights marches, is a looney anti-masker, & a raging transphobic monster.
It's not misogynistic to not agree with keeping someone dangerous like this in the @starwars universe.
Can't wait to see how they write her out. Bye! pic.twitter.com/YtH2btWaCl
