<p>Oscar-winning actress <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/mira-sorvino-calls-mass-speaking-out-hollywood-paul-bois/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mira Sorvino</a> (&#8220;Mighty Aphrodite,&#8221; 1995) appeared to have a minor meltdown over what she viewed as a lack of American progress — and the continuation of several &#8220;hideous wrongs&#8221; — heading into the new year.</p>
<p><a href="https://dailywire.com/news/paul-sorvino-furious-weinstein-over-treatment-paul-bois/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sorvino</a> shared her frustrations in a couple of tweets posted on Friday, just before 2022 came to a close over the weekend — and she claimed that, among other issues, Americans had failed to eradicate bigotry and anti-Semitism.</p>
<p>&#8220;Does anyone else feel shellshocked hideous wrongs of our nation’s past we thought we’d progressed beyond’ve found footing as pseudo-defensible positions: Bigotry, slavery, white supremacy, colonialism, anti-semitism, hatred of women, lgbtqia folk &amp; migrants-as tho they were legit?&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/director-peter-jackson-weinstein-orchestrated-amanda-prestigiacomo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sorvino</a> asked, complaining that she had thought that America had progressed only to find that certain wrongs were not only being continued but defended.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">We think we are on this inexorable climb to progress, growth, equality, only to realize we are only 1 degree away from Auschwitz, or George Washington’s thousands of slaves, the genocide of millions of Native Americans, or the justification of Harvey Weinstein’s rapes…</p>
<p>&mdash; Mira Sorvino (@MiraSorvino) <a href="https://twitter.com/MiraSorvino/status/1609057437281316867?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 31, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;We think we are on this inexorable climb to progress, growth, equality, only to realize we are only 1 degree away from Auschwitz, or George Washington’s thousands of slaves, the genocide of millions of Native Americans, or the justification of Harvey Weinstein’s rapes …&#8221; Sorvino continued.</p>
<p>The actress suggested that the United States was somehow &#8220;1 degree away&#8221; from the 1.1 million Jews, Poles, and gypsies <a href="https://www.history.com/news/auschwitz-concentration-camp-numbers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killed at Auschwitz</a> — the deadliest of the Nazi concentration camps — where some 85% of the men, women, and children who passed through its gates were systematically exterminated.</p>
<p>She also offered comparisons to the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/climate-changed-after-europeans-killed-indigenous-americans-2019-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killing</a> of Native Americans in the name of colonization — some of whom died of diseases that crossed over from Europe with explorers and colonists alike — and claimed that George Washington owned &#8220;thousands of slaves&#8221;  when <a href="https://www.mountvernon.org/george-washington/slavery/ten-facts-about-washington-slavery/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">historical records</a> suggest that number was closer to 125.</p>
<p><a href="https://dailywire.com/news/paul-sorvino-furious-weinstein-over-treatment-paul-bois/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sorvino&#8217;s</a> final comparison took a personal turn, as she suggested the people allowing bigotry and other &#8220;hideous wrongs&#8221; to continue were no different than those who justified disgraced Hollywood producer &#8220;Harvey Weinstein&#8217;s rapes.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Romy and Michele&#8217;s High School Reunion&#8221; star was one of the first to speak out against Weinstein, claiming that he had made advances toward her — and that her refusal to accommodate his wishes had led to her career being stifled.</p>
<p>&#8220;It’s very triggering and re-traumatizing for me,&#8221; <a href="https://ktla.com/entertainment/mira-sorvino-weighs-in-on-weinstein-rape-trial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she told</a> KTLA during the now-convicted rapist&#8217;s most recent trial. &#8220;I find it horrific that his defense is using these outdated tropes, you know, slut shaming and saying that it was a consensual transactional casting couch. He was a sexual predator of epic proportions, a very violent assault. I personally know people who have been raped by him, and there was nothing consensual about it.&#8221;</p>
