Gina Carano was dropped from her role on Disney’s "The Mandalorian" after comparing today's political divide to the events in Nazi Germany on social media – but her now-former castmate received a pass for making a similar comparison, and many critics are pointing out the hypocrisy.

As a result, a similar 2018 tweet from "Mandalorian" star Pedro Pascal doing essentially the same thing was unearthed Thursday, leaving fans confused about why only one of the actors was punished.

Pascal, who has played the show’s title character, The Mandalorian, used the hashtag #ThisisAmerica to caption side-by-side images. The top image was said to show children confined by barbed wire in Nazi Germany circa 1944, while the bottom image was purported to be from the United States in 2018 -- although multiple reports indicated the photo actually showed Palestinian children in the West Bank years earlier. Pascal’s 2018 message came at the height of a controversy over the "zero-tolerance" immigration policy under the Trump administration at the time.

Pascal also posted a now-deleted tweet in 2020 that compared Trump supporters to Nazis, the New York Post noted.

Lucasfilm and Disney did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
