He suggested, with scant evidence, that Barack Obama, was not born in Hawaii - as his birth certificate said - but in Kenya, and was therefore not a natural-born citizen, and was technically ineligible for the office of the presidency. Donald Trump launched his current political career on the flimsy foundation of birtherism. That is one of the most frightening consequences of the Trump era. In large swaths of the country, they are undoubtedly much more common than the alternative. But they are views that are common enough to be completely ordinary in 2020. It makes sense that #FireGinaCarano has started trending. Gina Carano has revealed herself to harbor some wrong-headed and dangerously ignorant views.

And in the weeks since, Carano has done little to win back the love of fans who have turned against her.

Once embraced by fans for representing a realistic version of what a strong female warrior could look like, these moments of apparent ignorance turned many against her.

Actor and former MMA fighter Gina Carano has once again come under fire for her social media presence.
