On what grounds?
There is such a thing as wrongful termination. People can be fired illegally.
Yes, if they violate state and federal laws when doing it. You cannot fire anyone on account of age or race or religion or any number of other reasons that divide people into protected classes. But last time I checked 'idiot' is not a protected class in any state.
That being said, an employer has no obligation to give a reason for firing and should not in order to avoid law suites.
I suspect the dealership would welcome the chance to defend this particular firing.

If I were the employer I’d shut up and let it go away. Nothing about this will be good for anyone. KY is largely republican and Beshear is hated and his detractors buy cars as well.
