      Jeet Heer Retweeted Jessica Valenti

      Exactly right: It's very clear from reading Jeffrey Goldberg's account that Williamson was fired because Williamson said his tweet was a one-off thing and it turned out to be a deeply held position. Lying to the boss about an important matter can get you fired.https://twitter.com/JessicaValenti/status/1156964944157564930 …

      This claims he was fired for one tweet “joking” about executing women who have abortions but fails to mention he defended this position *at length* in a podcast https://twitter.com/reason/status/1156666921187794944?s=21 …

      Also, very interested to learn that both @reason & Kevin Williamson oppose at-will employment, one of the bedrock features of capitalism. Welcome to the revolution, comrades!

          interested to see the arguments this crowd gins up for employment being mandatory for all racist right-wing columnists, but OSHA and the NLRB still being unconstitutional

          Did they suggest the law should have prevented his firing? It's never been the position of any Libertarian I'm aware of that all free market decisions are good, just that they shouldn't be dictated by the state.

          Then why should we imagine that Goldberg firing Williamson has free speech implications, as Williamson and his allies do?

          Lying to your employer can and probably will constitute cause for termination without notice in jurisdictions where employment is not “at will” (ie every Canadian province).
