I’m a fan of the show and of her character in particular. But the issue is that while everyone is entitled to speak his or her mind, her beliefs (and the behavior she encourages in others) makes her a danger/liability on any set or in any studio. I would not want to work alongside someone brazenly twirling a loaded firearm… that’s basically what she’s doing. Disney is opening themselves up to a massive lawsuit if anyone on set (or anywhere directly or even indirectly connected to the crew) catches Covid.
