Actress Susan Sarandon, an ardent leftist during her professional life who routinely retweets other ardent leftists, posted a message on social media akin to the message that actress Gina Carano posted in early 2021 that got her canceled.
In early 2021, Carano, then starring in Disney’s “The Mandalorian,” posted a message on Instagram to illustrate her feelings about the hate directed toward political conservatives. She posted a photo with the caption:
Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?
The very next day Lucasfilm issued a statement saying, “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”
The same day, UTA dropped Carano as a client.
Carano was fired on February 10, 2021. Two days after she was canceled, Carano announced a partnership with The Daily Wire in a deal where she could produce and star in her own film.
“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,” Carano said. “I have only just begun using my voice which is now freer than ever before, and I hope it inspires others to do the same. They can’t cancel us if we don’t let them.”
Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro added, “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.”
On Monday, Sarandon posted, in a reference to the Holocaust, “It didn’t start with gas chambers. It started with one party controlling the media. One party controlling the message. One party deciding what is truth. One party censoring speech and silencing opposition. One party dividing citizens into ‘us’ and ‘them’ and calling on their supporters to harass ‘them.’ It started when good people turned a blind eye and let it happen.”
Last February, in an act for which she later apologized after severe blowback ensued, Sarandon sparked rage on social media after she mocked the massive funeral procession along New York City’s Fifth avenue for slain NYPD detective Jason Rivera, 22, by tweeting, “I’m gonna tell my kids this is what fascism looks like.”
That caption accompanied a photo of the funeral procession. Above the photo, she taunted, “’So, if all these cops weren’t needed for CRIME that day, doesn’t that mean they aren’t needed ANY day?”
Rivera and his partner Wilbert Mora, 27, who also died, were ambushed and shot in Harlem while responding to a domestic call.
Disclosure: The Daily Wire has announced plans for childrens’ entertainment content.
A detective at age 22? Wow!
I don’t think the old hag is in a show to be fired from, but yes, she wouldn’t be.
The old saw “if liberals didn’t have double standards they’d have no standards at all” is true.
Rivera?? Sounds like a quota hiring.
My dad was NYPD for 23 years and a gold shield detective for 7 years. He never got the Sergeant promotion and was bypassed for promotion by those who had half the service time he did (17 yrs versus 8 yrs) and scored half on the test (he 92, those promoted 44).
Wanna guess why??
Is Susan Sarandon ‘working’ right now or is she between gigs? That would be 1 difference. Carano was involved in a Disney production that had or was about to be released (not sure of the timing there).
Compared what being done to Kanya West for his “anti-semitic statements”.
Then research the anti-semitic statements of Nick Cannon and see how his career has suffered. /sarc
Oh yeh- NFL receiver DeSean Jackson just signed a large free agent contract as well.
Sarandon could do a topless jungle shoot for National Geographic...
I thought it was odd, too, so looked it up. It was a posthumous promotion.
My dad had the same thing. You can Google it, it was a big deal. Bridgeport Connecticut passed him and others up based on an affirmative action decision.
I was wondering if Monarch was any good. It looks to be a copy of Yellowstone from the commercials I’ve seen.
Looking forward to Season 5 of Yellowstone which I believe starts early next month.
Officer Jason Rivera who was gunned down responding to a domestic disturbance call in the line of duty was posthumously promoted. I don’t have an issue with that.
I’m sure. My dad dealt with this in the 80’s when it was accepted and the class action lawsuit by 1000’s of NYPD was tossed.
They never got any reparations via the New Haven Firefighters case.
It’s ‘Nashville’ with meaner people..................
LOL! Thanks.
Posthumously? i agree.
But don’t think for a second there weren’t plenty of good cops who got screwed out of promotion in the NYPD via quota hiring.
Agreed
40 years ago she could have, not so sure I’d want to see her do it today
Rivera and his partner Wilbert Mora, 27, who also died, were ambushed and shot in Harlem while responding to a domestic call.
it is a shame that i first read that as, why was sarandon condemning a gay cop and his partner.
ugh.
