7. If DHS says a government contractor can't work on a government contract, the government has pushed for his firing.

Whether that was the sole reason he was fired or not, contacting his employer and making thise demands alone is a straight up infringement of his First Amendment rights, as it is retaliation for political speech.

And you're putting words in the man's mouth. You do not know what he "clearly thinks." He never mentioned assassination, nor did he say "you can't pretend to be anti-facist if you think Kirk's assasination was a bad thing." He said, "You can’t be pro-punching Nazis and then pretend it’s a bad thing when someone actually does." He didn't even say that punching Nazis in the face was a good thing, he just brought up the hypocrisy of those who do say it.
