His employer was free to say we don't want our employees representing us with things we wouldn't say. They said it with disciplinary action.
They're a privately run company, not a public or government organization.

I absolutely do not agree with what he said, but I support his right to say it.

What offends me are the special interest-groups who put pressure on folks to punish people who make statements that are against what they represent. It seems that "freedom of speech" to them only applies when it supports their own positions.
