The cast of Bob's Burgers is down a voice after Jay Johnston was reportedly fired from the animated series. According to The Daily Beast, Johnston had allegedly been spotted in photographs of unidentified rioters at the riot that took place at the Capitol on Jan. 6. The outlet reports that high-level execs have "banned" Johnston from the series, meaning he will no longer voice Jimmy Pesto Sr. on the hit comedy show.

Hollywood cartoons are leftist? Who knew?

Jimmy Pesto Sr is a very minor voice on that show. I wonder if he got to voice it in the movie?

Meanwhile, the thousands who rioted, burned, and looted in Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, and dozens of other cities... meanwhile, they remain... nameless. In fact, the riots of 2020 have dropped into the memory hole. They’re gone. They never happened.

Jay Johnston has committed a thoughtcrime. He will learn to live Big Brother.

So did he “riot” or was he just there that day?

My question is, was he actually rioting, or just somewhere in the crowd? And if he was rioting, why hasn't he been charged?

If he was fired just for attending the rally, and committed no crime, it once again shows that our freedoms are in the balance. How many people have been fired simply for attending a BLM rally where other people broke the law? "None" is my guess.

I guess it depends if he was charged/convicted or otherwise acted violently but he may have a discrimination-based unlawful termination case.

“High Level execs” = Disney. AKA ABCNews and ESPN

No actual criminal charges.
Just fired for exercising his constitutional rights.

Where’s your union now?

He was protesting a stolen election, NOT rioting.

What it all comes down to is, after two long years of their Leftist war on humanity itself, the Democrats must be stopped.

And even a whole lot of Democrats feel that way.

"Dubbed "suspect number 247," the man alleged to be Johnston was captured on video taking pictures as rioters forced their way toward the building."

Taking pictures. Hang him.

On what basis? 49 out of 50 states have "at-will" employment, meaning you can be fired for wearing yellow socks to work if your employer doesn't like yellow socks. Obvious exceptions are inherent, immutable characteristics like race and sex. What really hurts is the Republican party was the one who pushed at-will employment in the 80's. No one foresaw corporations going woke back then.

Well he might not win the case, but he has a Title VII federal case and a California Labor Code case.

We are no longer an effective Republic, but a communist driven Fascism.

My daughter works for a very well known brand, large corporation ... AT HOME ... and her job is jeopardized by a corporate demand for a vaccination my daughter adamantly and intelligently refuses.

UNDERSTAND THIS.

It is going on all over America.

People that work at home or are in sequestered and/or secluded environments are being threatened with termination if they DO NOT COMPLY.


Our politicians haven't or cannot stop or stay this practice.

We're not gonn'a make it to 2024.
