Whether or not they got fired isn't really relevant. What they said is more so. "I mean, honestly, it's not hard to get some of these a------- to pop off," Foval purportedly says at one point in the video. "It's a matter of showing up, to want to get into their rally, in a Planned Parenthood T-shirt. Or 'Trump is a Nazi,' you know. You can message to draw them out, and draw them out to punch you." In other words, Trump supporters can be incited to violence by wearing a t-shirt. Or Having a sign. Not by doing anything else. In a sane world, that isn't a call to violence. But with Trump's Brownshirts, apparently it is. When was the last time someone got assaulted for wearing a MAGA cap to a Clinton rally? It never has happened. What was said was the truth. It also wasn't something the Clinton campaign wanted to see on the news cycle. It generates a lot of heat and nothing useful. The difference between reality and wingnut news sources is that a) it was a hypothetical. b) it shows how volatile and violent Trump supporters are. c) it isn't a dirty trick. It is something that usually happens at rallys for normal people. It just isn't normal behavior to assault someone because of what they are wearing.
