It is perfectly obvious that the corporations had been looking for an excuse to get rid of Carano thanks to her conservative politics \u2014 The Hollywood Reporter uncovered a source who snarked, \u201cThey have been looking for a reason to fire her for two months, and today was the final straw.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What, precisely, was Carano\u2019s sin? After the 2020 election, she put up a social media post decrying voter fraud and then put up a post referring disparagingly to elite-driven mask culture. This week, she put up a post pointing out that the Holocaust did not begin with mass murder but with neighbors turning on one another thanks to politics. The Holocaust comparison may have been overwrought, but it was certainly not anti-Semitic. \u201cNonetheless,\u201d Lucasfilm stated, \u201cher social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\">Carano\u2019s cancellation came the same week as the cancellation of \u201cThe Bachelor\u201d host Chris Harrison. Harrison\u2019s sin: He said that one of the contestants on this season of \u201cThe Bachelor\u201d ought to be given \u201ca little grace\u201d over having attended a sorority party with an antebellum theme several years ago. Harrison said, \u201cI have seen some stuff online \u2014 this judge, jury, executioner thing \u2014 where people are just tearing this girl\u2019s life apart and diving into, like, her parents, her parents\u2019 voting record. It\u2019s unbelievably alarming to watch this.\u201d And the woke authoritarians emerged to deem him racist.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"column--highlighted-text\">Carano\u2019s and Harrison\u2019s responses, however, were polar opposites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Harrison immediately kowtowed to the mob. He issued a mewling statement, no doubt at the behest of his corporate overlords, in which he suggested that he is now following a \u201cpath to anti-racism\u201d and explaining, \u201cMy words were harmful. I am listening, and I truly apologize for my ignorance and any pain it caused you.\u201d Not a single person could have explained how asking for \u201ca little grace\u201d for a young woman who had sinned by wearing a Scarlett O\u2019Hara-style dress had harmed anybody. But that didn\u2019t matter. The only one harmed was Harrison, whose apology was deemed insufficient. He has self-banished to the cornfield for at least this season, and maybe forever.<\/p>\n<p data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\">Carano, by contrast, took down the Holocaust post because she realized it was overwrought. But she didn\u2019t apologize. And, more importantly, she made a ballsy move: She signed a deal with my company, The Daily Wire, to produce and star in a new film. She explained: \u201cI 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. They can\u2019t cancel us if we don\u2019t let them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We at The Daily Wire are dedicated to that simple proposition. It\u2019s time for the American people to stop allowing themselves to be canceled. The institutions of American culture are arrayed against individuals who think differently, from Hollywood to corporate America to the establishment media. But dissenters can band together, too, and support one another. Those who believe in open dialogue \u2014 people across the political aisle \u2014 need to come together. Otherwise, the authoritarians will continue their march toward woke dystopia.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/shapiro-when-the-hateful-think-they-are-the-virtuous\">More from Ben Shapiro: When The Hateful Think They Are The Virtuous<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
