And quite frankly I wish someone would have talked to her about her social media posts over the past year. Some of them not even political. Just in general, they felt off to me. I am sorry she has gone down this path.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the hashtag #FireGinaCarano began trending on Twitter in response to an Instagram story in which she quoted The Warrior Priest Podcast lamenting about how Nazis used neighbors to oppress their citizens.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors\u2026even by children.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBecause history is edited, most people today don\u2019t 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?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In a statement, Lucasfilm, a company owned by Disney, denounced Carano\u2019s social media posts as \u201cabhorrent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future,\u201d the company said. \u201cNevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after her firing, however, The Daily Wire announced that it would be joining forces with Gina Carano.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Daily Wire is helping make one of my dreams \u2014 to develop and produce my own film \u2014 come true,\u201d she told <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2021\/02\/gina-carano-mandalorian-ben-shapiro-hits-back-cancel-culture-1234692971\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Deadline<\/a>&nbsp;in a statement. \u201cI cried out and my prayer was answered. I am sending out a direct message of hope to everyone living in fear of cancellation by the totalitarian mob. I have only just begun using my voice which is now freer than ever before, and I hope it inspires others to do the same.
