... and so it begins (fired for personal views)

[tucker6]

NASCAR driver Kyle Larson’s spotter Chris Monez has been let go by Hendrick Motorsports four days after his past social media activity came under fire online.

Monez, who was Ty Dillon’s spotter in 2020 and joined Hendrick on January 1, has retweeted and liked posts by President Trump that criticize coronavirus response measures and the voting process. He also reportedly highlighted tweets that included a QAnon-related hashtag, according to Motorsports.com, and Trump’s suggestion that Bubba Wallace apologize for the uproar that followed the discovery of a rope tied into a noose in his garage at Talladega Superspeedway in June.

This country is NOT going in the right direction. This is fascism pure and simple.

What did he do that was deserving of being fired? It used to be yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater. It used to be threatening your boss or the President. Now it's almost anything. I say "almost" because being an actual deviant is acceptable, such as pedophiles, thugs, drug users/dealers. In fact, it's fashionable to be a criminal these days. Just don't wear a damned MAGA hat. You deserve to die for that.

I never said his termination was justified, did I?
I merely stated that this type of thing is nothing new, and you’re painting it as such by saying, “and so it begins”.
It began years ago

I LOL'd at the breathless, "He also reportedly highlighted tweets that included a QAnon-related hashtag" like it was somehow related to the Black Plague or something.

Social media gives you the right to be stupid in public.

Nascar is the worst.

They still give Jesse Jackson 250k a year to leave them alone.
