Saying/doing stupid things (or extremely unpopular things like kneeling for the anthem) doesn't mean you won't get fired - and that's not a 1st violation. And Trump can express his opinions on the matter all he wants, as long as his Justice Dept doesn't take action, which it didn't, it's still not a violation of the 1st. The first protects the government from prosecuting you for your speech (along with freedom of religion, assembly, press and petition of the government.) You know this, so why do you keep spewing untruths?
