Gina Carano gets support from Senator Ted Cruz after she was fired; Here's more

Many celebrities in the United States are known to be extremely vocal about social and political issues. They often post on social media about their views and are also seen criticising or praising several politicians. Quite recently, Gina Carano had made a post on social media talking about her views on the ongoing political atmosphere in the country, but was fired by Lucasfilm and Disney as the post was deemed offensive. Well-known senator from Texas, Ted Cruz, has now come out in support of the actor after action was taken on her- here’s more on this.

Ted Cruz defends Gina Carano after she was fired

The issue began when Gina posted on her social media handle in which she made a statement against the growing atmosphere in the country where social divides are being caused due to difference over political opinions. She described how the government in Nazi Germany made the neighbours of the Jews hate them “for simply being Jews”. She then compared this event to the hating of people because of their political views, according to Variety. The social media post was then deleted, but it led to the actor getting fired from Lucasfilm.
