His employer chose to fire him because of that (they could have kept him on a different contract if they wanted him). It isn't at all uncommon for an employer to fire a 3-month employee because his social media posts damaged the company's relationship with their largest customers. But as I said - the feds could have fired him for those comments even if he worked for them directly. It's well within the "extremism" standard that President Biden instituted after 1/6.

As for the substance of his comments, not one of them said it was "ok to assassinate someone." The posts stated his opinion on Kirk’s positions, and the hypocrisy of those who claim to be "pro-punching Nazis":

The full quote was "You can’t be pro-punching Nazis and then pretend it’s a bad thing when someone actually does"

This "nazi" wasn't "punched". He's clearly saying that he thinks you can't pretend to be anti-facist if you think Kirk's assasination was a bad thing. That's well outside the bounds of protected speech. It could be if he had been arrested and imprisoned for it... but his employer is not obligated to keep him.
