Once being a key cast member for the hit Disney+ show “The Mandalorian ”, Gina Carano was ultimately fired for her stance when it came to cancel culture and the effect it was having on America. While Carano being let go happened a while ago, comedian Bill Burr, who worked on the show, was recently asked about the situation and what he thought. Having been known to get straight to the point, Burr ripped into cancel culture and the absurdity of the entire movement.
Taking part in an interview with Hollywood Reporter, the 53-year-old actor admitted, “I thought it was funny that the liberals proved her point. They just use outrage because they don’t like your politics. As someone who considers himself liberal, it’s disappointing to see the left become how the right used to be when they went after the Dixie Chicks after they criticized George W. Bush.”
The comedian added, “There’s not a lot of people like that — most are just trying not to get in trouble — but there’s this small collection of lunatics — either on the right or the left, at any given moment — that cause hysteria. And now there’s so many [media outlets] that want eyeballs, they make money off advertising, that they give attention to these crazy fringe people.”
Completely dumbfounded by the decision and what cancel culture latches on to, Burr joked, “You can have 20-year wars, you can create synthetic heroin, you can fing poison the food supply. You can do all of that sand it’s barely going to read. They did a study the other day that 85 percent of people have plastic in their body — horrifying. Who’s going to be held accountable for that? Nobody. But I could tell you five different topics that if I did jokes about, I would get more in trouble than the people who caused that.”
As for the outdated tweet that led to Carano being fired, Burr noted the stance was written eight years ago. “‘Sounds like this is a pretty good person if you had to go back eight f***ing years!’ Meanwhile, there are people who get paroled from prison every day who have done so much worse and they’re allowed to put their lives back together.”
