Sen. Ted Cruz defends Gina Carano after 'Mandalorian' firing, mocks Disney
Fox News
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, defended Gina Carano amid her 'Mandalorian' firing for controversial tweets that likened the political divide to Nazi Germany.
The 38-year-old actress played Cara Dune on the popular Disney+ series and Lucasfilm confirmed in a statement Wednesday that she is "not currently employed by" the company and "there are no plans for" her return "in the future." Carano's ousting resulted in both praise and fury from "Star Wars" fans. Those siding with the actress caused the hashtag #CancelDisneyPlus to trend on Twitter. But Cruz on Thursday suggested the streaming service was in the wrong for letting her go.More Related News
