#FireGinaCarano Trends After Mandalorian Star Suggests Republicans Persecuted the Same Way Holocaust
Victims WereActress Gina Carano is under fire for suggesting Republicans face similar persecution as Jews during the Holocaust.
The former MMA fighter, who appears on the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, received backlash on social media Wednesday after sharing a controversial post on her Instagram story. The outspoken conservative actress shared a post comparing the persecution of Jewish people in Nazi Germany to those experiencing hostility for sharing political views.
“Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children,” Carano wrote in a since-deleted post. “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.”
In the time since she shared the post, #FireGinaCarano started trending on Twitter, with thousands calling on Disney to remove her from The Mandalorian.

Newsflash Gina: I don't dislike you cause 'the government' has led me to disapprove of people with your views.
I dislike you because your views are messed up, paranoid, and wrong. The Government's opinion is no matter in the equation.
And 'the government' is never going to come round you up and put you into camps because of your 'views'.
Unlike what happened with Jews during the Holocaust. Which had very little to do with their 'views'.
How--?? What--?!? HUH??!??!???

As well as a Gina Carano.
