“The Mandalorian” star Gina Carano finds herself at the center of a social media firestorm, with many fans outraged by her recent views expressed in various tweets about the presidential election, COVID-19, and more.
It got to the point that on late Saturday night, #FireGinaCarano was trending on Twitter.
Carano, 38, has questioned the results of the presidential election since it took place Nov. 4, echoing President Donald Trump’s baseless claims of voter fraud.
We need to clean up the election process so we are not left feeling the way we do today.
Put laws in place that protect us against voter fraud.
Investigate every state.
Film the counting.
Flush out the fake votes.
Require ID.
Make Voter Fraud end in 2020.
Fix the system. 🇺🇸— Gina Carano 🕯 (@ginacarano) November 5, 2020

Carano, a pioneer of women’s MMA, also has openly questioned the validity of the coronavirus pandemic, which is responsible for 245,000 deaths in the U.S. and growing, drumming up conspiracy theories.

On Saturday night, she encouraged her 449,000 followers to join her on Parler, which is described this way on Wikipedia:
Parler is an American microblogging and social networking service launched in August 2018. Parler has a significant user base of Trump supporters, conservatives, and right-wing extremists. Posts on the service often contain far-right content, antisemitism, and conspiracy theories.
Here’s a sampling of the outrage being expressed on Twitter:
It’s really disgusting how John Boyega and Kelly Marie Tran were viciously attacked by racist and sexist people, resulting in reduced roles and zero support from Disney, and Gina Carano gets a major role while associating herself with those very same people. #FireGinaCarano

Gina Carano actively promotes hateful, bigoted views, has tweeted misinformation +conspiracies about the American election, doesn't support wearing masks/treats COVID like a hoax, liked tweets about shooting protesters… this woman is not part of the Rebellion #FireGinaCarano pic.twitter.com/4u52pqI3vo

I’m totally down for #FireGinaCarano because she’s transphobic and overall just an awful person who doesn’t deserve a platform. Replace her with Katee Sackhoff’s Bo Katan pic.twitter.com/41eYUu7Vyx

Disney fired James Gunn because of bad jokes on Twitter dug up by a rapist, but Gina Carano is regularly tweeting out transphobic hate. Disney, #FireGinaCarano

#FireGinaCarano She outright made fun of Civil Rights marches, is a looney anti-masker, & a raging transphobic monster.
It's not misogynistic to not agree with keeping someone dangerous like this in the @starwars universe.
Can't wait to see how they write her out. Bye! pic.twitter.com/YtH2btWaCl
