“On Saturday, August 12, it came to our attention that one of our employees was involved in the recent ‘alt-right’ rally in Charlottesville, North Carolina [sic]. Later that day we spoke with Cole White. During that conversation Cole chose to voluntarily resign his employment with top dog and we accepted his resignation,” the company said.

You don't have the right to yell fire in a crowded theatre either.

"You don't have the right to yell fire in a crowded theatre either."
Because yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theatre has the very high probability of directly causing harm ( if there's not actually a fire ) People will panic, stampede each other, and the theatre owner will suffer monetary damages. The one who yelled "Fire!" will be liable for all damages suffered.
Now, if there is *actually* a fire in the crowded theatre, it would be protected speech, correct? You could actually save lives by yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theatre in the event of a fire. See the difference?
I've always felt that the "Yelling 'Fire!' in a theatre" example is a poor one. It's not what you yell that makes it non-protected speech, it's the direct results of that speech.

Thats a violation of the first amendment.
Edit: She wasn't even at work. But I get the whole political agenda stab in the back violation of her right to express herself. For...
...she was fired from her job at a company that does work with the government.
