They really shouldn’t have fired Gina!

According to BoundingIntoComics:

A brand new rumor claims that viewership on The Walt Disney Company’s streaming service, Disney+, has cratered since the company fired and lied about The Mandalorian star Gina Carano.

Back in February, Disney and Lucasfilm fired Carano through a press statement issued to a number of media outlets.

The statement read, “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future.”

It added, “Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”

The second sentence is a complete and utter lie. Gina Carano did not denigrate people based on their cultural and religious identities. Instead, she shared a screenshot to her Instagram Stories.

The post from the account warriorpriestgympodcast reads, “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children.”

It then includes a quote, “‘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?”
