As we told you this morning, “Mandalorian” star Gina Carano was fired by Lucasfilm after making an “overwrought Holocaust comparison” to comment on the state of affairs in the U.S. today:

But as Ben Shapiro notes, this means Carano’s co-star, Pedro Pascal, should probably be fired, too, for his “overwrought Holocaust comparison”:

Even worse? Those aren’t kids in America. Snopes already fact-checked it.

Those are Palestinian children at a soup kitchen in Hebron in 2010:

Sorry, Pedro has got to go. Those are the rules:
oh no now they want to fire Pedro
I used to like Pedro, Mandalorian is a good show
Now that we know Pedro is a nazi so what do we do? https://t.co/sQ8wMbw0NJ

Or is it because he’s a man that he still has his job?
A man and a woman working on the same show reference Nazi Germany. The woman gets shamed and fired. The man does not.? https://t.co/b8ybxSj4NO

And don’t even get us started with how Disney embraced China despite that country’s horrific abuse of Muslims:
Not okay at Disney+: making overwrought Holocaust comparisons on social media
Totally okay at Disney+: working with governments shipping people to concentration camps where women are forcibly sterilized— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) February 11, 2021
