After Disney firing, Gina Carano announces new film project with Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire

“The Mandalorian” star Gina Carano is partnering with Ben Shapiro’s The Daily Wire for a new film project after being fired by Disney for her social media posts.

“The Daily Wire is helping make one of my dreams — to develop and produce my own film — come true. I cried out and my prayer was answered,” Carano told Deadline.

Carano was fired for her social media posts after the actress compared Nazi Germany to politics today, mocked face masks and sent other posts blasted by critics.

"Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future," the production company said.

The Daily Wire, a conservative media brand, has moved into entertainment recently, releasing its first movie in January produced by Dallas Sonnier called “Run Hide Fight.”

and that liberals always get a free pass in Hollywood.

Show me where a liberal said: "American politics today are exactly like Joseph Stalin's, with his purges of millions of lives, and many hundreds of thousands of people imprisoned in gulags."

Yeah, because we don't say shit like that...

No one ever taught these people about the concept of consequences for one's actions. What a bunch of spoiled babies.

9. I both love and hate their over-the-top hyperbole and smug sense of self-victimization.

"Those smug, arrogant liberals seethe with anger and their faces turn red when an innocent conservative simply has a voice! We must not allow the toxic nature of cancel culture to consume us, because it's exactly what would have happened in 1939 Germany!".

I mean really who talks like that unless you're a Fox News host?

It's almost like you can instantly tell what they're going to say anymore.

By Cristine "Cyborg" Justino. I am not a big fan of MMA but I did see that and it was brutal.

I can still see it.

I've met her once, and have good friends who are good friends of her. She does a lot of quiet charity for kids, and is also a Naturalized Citizen! I'm glad she left that creep Dana White and is on Bellator now.
