In a match made in the opposite of heaven, Gina Carano has announced a new movie project with The Daily Wire, the media company launched by notorious “cancel culture” whiner Ben Shapiro in 2015.

This is the latest in the Carano saga after the actress made a disturbingly antisemitic post on Instagram following accusations of transphobia and Lucasfilm confirmed they had no plans to work with her again in the future.

“We could not be more excited to be working with Gina Carano, an incredible talent dumped by Disney and Lucasfilm for offending the authoritarian Hollywood Left,” said Shapiro. “This is what Daily Wire exists to do: provide an alternative not just for consumers, but for creators who refuse to bow to the mob.”
According to Carano, the media company, which recently premiered its first film, is letting her develop and produce the whole movie. Her statement on the announcement was the kind of thing we’ve come to expect from the woman who compared being criticized to Nazi-fueled pogroms.

“The Daily Wire is helping make one of my dreams — to develop and produce my own film — come true,” she said. “I cried out and my prayer was answered. I am sending out a direct message of hope to everyone living in fear of cancellation by the totalitarian mob.”
The film, which Carano will also star in, will reportedly be made available only to members of The Daily Wire, as though anybody else would want to see that mess.
Carano, who had a recurring role in the hit Disney Plus series The Mandalorian, first drew criticism for social media posts expressing anti-masker sentiments and mocking people for stating their pronouns. She responded to this by posting a depiction of a Jewish woman being attacked by a mob and writing about how Jewish people in Nazi Germany were often murdered by their neighbors.

Ben Shapiro grew up in Hollywood as the child of a television exec and film/tv composer. He had every advantage to thrive in that industry and still flopped. Gina Carano pushing in her chips on his expertise here is just… really, really sad.
