The Patriot Post® · Gina Carano's New Disney Fight

Gina Carano built a successful career in entertainment. First, she was a professional mixed martial artist. Later, she turned to acting and landed the role of Cara Dune in the Disney+ Star Wars spin-off “The Mandalorian.” That is until 2021, when Disney and the woke elites that run it decided to ruin her career.

At the time, our world was in the thick of cancel culture chaos, pandemic madness, and election malfeasance. Carano was one of the lone celebrity voices on social media who was even trying to question what was going on. She used her free speech rights to voice some conservative-leaning views, like pointing out that the 2020 election was rigged, that masks were dumb, and that transgender activists were bullies.

The post that finally got her canceled by Disney and Lucasfilm was one on Instagram. It was a repost of a Jewish woman running in the street after being brutally assaulted by her neighbors in Germany. The caption of the post read: “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…. even by children. 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?”

Carano did not make the post herself; she was merely promoting it. But Disney and Lucasfilm decided to make an example of Carano. After her firing, Lucasfilm stated: “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”

Ironically, Disney and Lucasfilm were illustrating the very point that the post was making. If you dehumanize someone you don’t like, you can manipulate a culture into that very same evil. Leftists hate conservatives and their ideas so much that they will lie, bully, and manipulate public opinion to ensure that they can persecute a conservative victim without much consequence. Carano was able to join The Daily Wire’s fledgling film company, but that unjust firing continued to haunt her. How could she tackle these industry giants for blatant discrimination and violation of her free speech rights?

Less than a year later, Disney, under Bill Chapin, stepped on the rake that exposed just how deep Disney delved into woke ideology. Ever since then, the mega company has lost the trust of American families, suffered significant revenue drops in their films and theme parks, and has become the butt of many a joke about what happens to woke companies.

Carano has just decided to put the cherry on top of Disney’s disgrace. She is accepting Elon Musk’s offer to prosecute employers that used social media posts to pervert free speech protections and fire employees based on those posts. Musk, an entrepreneur and owner of the social media platform X, had his lawyers reach out to Carano, and she is now suing Disney and Lucasfilm for wrongful termination.

Carano has written a long form on X explaining precisely what led to her decision to pursue legal action. She was fired for publicly expressing political views that diverged from her employers. Her words were neither racist nor denigrating toward people of different cultural and religious identities. They were questioning the authoritarian diktats of the leftist elite.

Musk’s lawyers believe she has a case, so they are moving forward with the suit.

Disney just had a lawsuit tossed after trying to tussle with Florida and reinstate its “special district” privileges. The company also has been trying to bully Musk by pulling its advertising from X, claiming that Musk made the site “less safe.” Media Matters, a leftist organization that was in part responsible for this cry to boycott X, has since been named in a lawsuit by Musk. Media Matters stands accused of manipulating the platform to reinforce its viewpoint. This suit is ongoing.

As for Disney and Lucasfilm, there are consequences for destroying a beloved American icon — The Walt Disney Company — and making it a hollow shell of its former self. There are consequences for betraying fans, parents, children, stockholders, and business associates.

Gina Carano is just the latest bad news for the Mouse House.
