Disney Taking Heat For Firing Gina Carano But Not Pedro Pascal

Gina Carano and her co-star Pedro Pascal both made references of today’s political divide to Nazi Germany but only one of them was fired.
Carano is a conservative and was dropped from her role on Disney’s “The Mandalorian” because of her post but a similar tweet from 2018 posted by Pascal did not land him in hot water. Pascal falls in line with the politically left much like rest of Hollywood leaving many to point out the hypocrisy.
Carano, 38, has drawn ire in the past over a handful of political statements that have irked fans, such as messages about face masks and voter fraud. Her comments this week, however, created quite the divide among social media users, with some calling for the actress’ firing with the hashtag #FireGinaCarano while others ripped Disney — parent company to Lucasfilm and the “Star Wars” franchise — and its streaming service, Disney+.
But, the liberal Pascal, who has played the show’s title character, The Mandalorian, used the hashtag #ThisisAmerica to caption side-by-side images. The top image was said to show children confined by barbed wire in Nazi Germany circa 1944, while the bottom image was purported to be from the United States in 2018 — although multiple reports indicated the photo actually showed Palestinian children in the West Bank years earlier. Pascal’s 2018 message came at the height of a controversy over the “zero-tolerance” immigration policy under the Trump administration at the time.
Pascal also posted a now-deleted tweet in 2020 that compared Trump supporters to Nazis, the New York Post noted.
Disney has had its share of controversies including rehiring “Guardians of the Galaxy” director James Gunn in 2019 after old tweets resurfaced showing him joking about pedophilia and rape.
Here is what some had to say about the hypocrisy:
.@Disney What is Pedro's employment/contractual status?
EQUALLY "abhorrent"! https://t.co/n6XLYmBXDe

If Gina Corano gets fired and you don’t for the same thing, isn’t that patriarchal privilege? #DisneyIsSexist
