      Ilhan Omar quoted some very famous rap lyrics in a context that sounded anti-Semitic. When told why this was wrong, she apologized. Gina Carano tweeted out a Der Sturmer style image, hasn't apologized for it, and it is still up. Guess who @jonathanchait urges we forgive?pic.twitter.com/mGNkc4GutM

      FWIW I think a lot of the smears against Omar have been unfair, and I've said so. But isn't it perhaps reasonable to hold a political figure to a higher standard than an actress and MMA fighter?

      Fair. I do think the stronger argument here is that the politics of celebrities should be disregarded. But in making that argument, we shouldn't whitewash Carano's actual statements/postings, which go far beyond conservatism.

          And he apologized for doing so when the anti-Semitism was explained. If Carano apologized, this wouldn't be an issue.

          Which specific statements and actions? Please list them, make your case.

          But if it's the manager of the company next door, their politics wouldn't be disregarded if it just like actors, influenced their behavior and actions. These people WORK, NOT in a vacuum but with others and that has an impact.

          You know why people think "the politics of celebrities should be disregarded"? but not the politics of the average employee/employer. Because people LOVE celebs and television/art. We do the same with artists, writers. We like to compartmentalize them, to keep our own pleasures.

          We don't like to think that the song we love or the book/series that is so well written is made by a horrible person. So in order to have our cake and eat it too we say " It's not the same, Has nothing to do with each other"

          I would disagree, in that I think once you’ve reached the public stratosphere (and usually have a PR coach + manager) you need to be trained on how to approach public dissent. Celebrity has a lot of power and lowering the bar for them does a disservice to us all.

          I don't see any Jewish symbolism in Carano's tweet.
