Breaking news: Gina Carano has responded to the Whoopie Goldberg situation in which she was suspended from ABC for denying the cause of the holocaust. Carano was fired last year for encouraging others not to act in a way she felt was a precursor for the holocaust. Disney’s reaction towards the two actresses has been criticized for being very different.
I want to send blessings & love out to the Jewish community. ❤️
When I was being smeared, cancelled & misunderstood, it was a Jewish man @benshapiro who reached out & asked if I’d like to talk about it.Maybe @WhoopiGoldberg could talk to Ben.
Conversation over cancellation.

We will update this article as information follows…
Update 8:50 PM EST:
Ben Shapiro, the Jewish man who hired Gina Carano is commenting on the situation (earlier today). Here is his take:
Yes. That's precisely the point. I wish that almost nobody "caught it." But right now the rules are selectively applied. And so they must be consistently applied until everybody goes weapons down. https://t.co/tFEyD7ONV2

Andrew Klavan, a podcast commentator employed by The Daily Wire (Ben Shapiro’s company), is also weighing in on the situation:
My feeling is: Don't suspend @WhoopiGoldberg, simply put @ginacarano back in the @themandalorian and let @KevinHart4real host the Oscars and we'll just call it… well, we'll call it America.

Whoopie Goldberg, for her part, is reportedly ready to call it quits and “furious”:
Goldberg, 66, feels “humiliated” at being disciplined by ABC execs after she followed their advice to apologize for the ill-conceived comments, a well-placed insider told The Post.
“She feels ABC executives mishandled this. She followed their playbook. She went on ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ and then apologized again on ‘The View’ the next day,” a source said.
