Former Google employee Kevin Cernekee says he was fired for being a conservative. In an internal email from 2018, colleague Mike Wacker accused Cernekee of defending and minimizing alt-right viewpoints and people.

In the last week, Cernekee went on Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight and created a GoFundMe.com account hoping to raise $15,000. He was also featured in aprofile published Thursday. In each interview, Cernekee, who didn't immediately respond to our requests for comment, claims he was terminated in 2018 because he was conservative and he was "bullied."

Started a thread criticizing how Google's Chrome Web Store had removed the Coincidence Detector app, a Chrome plugin that wraps three sets of parentheses around names on web pages that appear to be Jewish.

In his email, Wacker alleged that Google sent both him and Cernekee to an external organization for mediation. Ultimately, no one was punished, he added.

I have been steadfast in maintaining that the rule of law and the right to peacefully protest are cornerstones of our society.
