The protester who hoisted an effigy of Gov. Andy Beshear from a tree at the Kentucky State Capitol has been fired from his job at an auto dealer.

Terry Bush, president of the Kentucky 3 Percenters group, was fired by Neil Huffman Auto Group on Tuesday, his wife Patsy Bush confirmed on Wednesday morning.

The auto dealer had announced Tuesday evening that it had terminated an unnamed employee who was involved in the protest Sunday where the effigy was hanged, saying it did not "condone threats of violence in any form."

Terry Bush has not responded to a request for comment left with his wife.

Patsy Bush is the state secretary of the Kentucky 3 Percenters and was also present at the protest in Frankfort.

1. CONSEQUENCES! nt

[riversedge]

4. Now for Trump and the GOP to face consequences!

[leftieNanner]

6. YES!

Ass Face has never had consequences for his entire worthless life.

Now would be a good time to start.

And Mitch, and Lindsey, and ............................

[RobinA]

26. Yeah!

Everyone should be fired from their jobs for otherwise legal personal time speech. What’s that saying? They came for the socialists and I did not speak out because I wasn’t a socialist... Let’s just ruin everyone we don’t agree with. That’s a sure way to keep the right-thinkers safe.

[paleotn]

38. He's potentially bad for business.

and it's their right to employee who they wish...private enterprise and all. It's not like he's been thrown in The Tower or something.

[Thomas Hurt]

2. Freedumb dude!

[lagomorph777]

27. Would you buy a used car from this turd?

WTAF? How did he think we wouldn't get fired? A public-facing business can't afford that kind of taint.

[Thomas Hurt]

28. LOL, exactly...and they wonder why we think they are stupid.

[FM123]

3. This kind of behavior must met with being fired from their job, at the very least....

[riversedge]

5. and the GOP and Trump are silent (at best) while these dangerous groups run wild.

[FM123]

8. yes, and their silence implies approval

[Evolve Dammit]

23. They sure are. It's their "base"

[mr_lebowski]

7. You have the freedom to say whatever you want to, but zero freedom from repercussions

Stemming from any entity, apart from the Government (and in rare cases not even the Government).

Looks like Mr. Bush is getting a fast lesson in this important principle.

Not to worry though, I'm sure Auto Sales are booming and he'll have another job lickety-split.

33. Very Simple

Their company, their rules!
Don't act like an ass! Probably, the company won't like you being an ass.

9. Now try to collect your unemployment when you were fired for "CAUSE".............

Did the 3% Kentuckians teach that in the meetings, doubt that................ ................how are you going to put that on your resume..................dumb shit................now you have no pay check, to make your payments, who are you going to blame.....................are the 3% Kentuckians going to pay your bills...............I got a bridge...............and everyone else that was involved should also loose there jobs.............

[gab13by13]

12. He gonna go on dat gummit welfar.

[samnsara]

10. his mother must be SO proud!

[keithbvadu2]

32. She might be.

[Bengus81]

11. LOL....GREAT. I knew there had to be a pic of someone doing that....

Adding to the unemployed daily. And, get out a tiny violin for that POS wife and her complaining. Hey lady...your married to a PSYCHO,get a fucking divorce before you get dragged down any further.

[Lonestarblue]

13. These militia groups are becoming more active with Trump's support.

I doubt anyone knows how many people belong to these groups, but they all seem to be anti-government and mostly racist organizations. They’re the ones Trump will call on to create violent conditions when he loses in November. I hope the FBI knows who they are, though of course Bill Barr will refuse to let the FBA do anything about planning for their likely election violence.

35. "and their children"

"posting information about where they, their spouses and their children lived, what their phone numbers were, and their photos."

[abakan]

14. Hanging the governor in effigy

Would have been a good time for a mask. just sayin

[lagomorph777]

29. LOL!

[kimbutgar]

15. I'm sure he'll be rehired back in a couple of months when this cools off

[Bengus81]

16. No one was terrorized....says his wife after his ass was fired

Hmmm...BTW,why is SHE doing all the talking for that nut case?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

17. Play stupid games.......

[Drum]

18. Bye Felicia n/t

[safeinOhio]

20. Might end up working

a lot harder for a lot less. Welcome to the Tramp job market

[rockfordfile]

21. That right-wing pos reminds me of the terrorist in the middle east doing something similar

[Initech]

22. Womp womp!

[bucolic_frolic]

24. OK it was the threat of violence, but also partisan is not a good business posture

You stand to potentially alienate 40% and more of customers every time

[ProfessorGAC]

34. +1

And, like I said, their company, their rules!

[liberalmuse]

25. I'm sure the rest of his kind will generously set up a "Go Fund Me" for their fellow vile human.

But I'm glad he lost his job. I've never liked "zero tolerance", but I think it was meant to be applied in regards to this nonsense.

[47of74]

30. He made his bed and can now lie in the fucking thing

[iluvtennis]

31. Sweet! What goes around, comes around nt

[keithbvadu2]

36. Wonder if their 3 Percenters group (and others) are calling for a boycott of the dealer?

Wonder if their 3 Percenters group (and others) are calling for a boycott of the dealer?

Or a brick through their window as recommended by an earlier leader?

[Marthe48]

37. Hoping he isn't into revenge shooting

hoping he comes to his senses on being so full of hate, and doesn't go after his ex-employer and co-workers.

[paleotn]

39. Actions have consequences....

....and as for " the freedom to speak on his own time ", it's not the state who's "oppressing" him. It's another private citizen who thinks he's bad for business. He probably is. I wouldn't buy a toaster from the jackass. But he's free to seek employment elsewhere. I'm sure there's more than enough reich wingers in KY who'd be happy to hire Mr. Effigy.

40. Ain't that a shame
