In one of her already excluded Instagram Posts, Carano it implied that there are similarities between being a Republican today and a Jewish people who lived during the Holocaust.
“Jews were beaten on the streets, not by Nazi soldiers, but by their neighbors … even by children. As the story is edited, most people today do not realize that, to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily to arrest thousands of Jews, the government first caused its own neighbors to hate them simply because they were Jews. How this is different from hating someone for their political views, “said the post she shared.
