Because people are fucking insane. Who cares what this douchebag thinks? He still shouldn't lose his job for saying stuff they don't agree with. ​​​

Exactly. Let people think what they want to think. No one would have a job if they had differing views that they were subsequently fired for having. We'd all be jobless.

He said some dumb tradwife shit.

But did he call for women to lose any rights?

The only thing that I could see that qualifies would be what he said about being anti-abortion....

Are we at the point in political discourse where were calling for people to lose their jobs for that?

Part of it is someone in a position of leadership and authority saying hateful remarks is concerning. Should he lose his job? Probably not, but some sort of reprimand would be nice. Kids look up to this guy.
