Disney has 77,000 employees (did a quick google search). Should they go through and assess the tweets, political leanings and general idiocy of every one of those people? Shouldn't they all have to pass the purity test?
Her tweets are dumb. I think she enjoys playing the contrarian to excessive wokism, which many people who lean right do. But allegations that she is promoting violence and discrimination are really flimsy.

“Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children,” the post said. “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?”

Here is Disney's official reason for firing her stupid ass

“Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future,” a Lucasfilm spokesperson said in a statement. “Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”

This is nothing but common sense.
