An Alabama man is out of a job after TikTok videos of him spreading misinformation about COVID-19, as well as saying racist, homophobic and other inflammatory statements went viral on the platform.

Nathan Coy, who posted videos under the handle @conservativecoy1776, found himself the subject of a video posted on June 10 by @rx0rcist.

Coy is featured quite a few times, expressing his own opinion or making fun of the opinion of others in regards to numerous topics.

The first time he’s featured in the clip, Coy is commenting on a woman who is talking about a COVID-19 study that’s now available for parents to enroll their kid in.

“So I got a question. So your six month old wants to be in a f------ clinical trial for COVID? Good job, Mom! These people are f------ stupid,” Coy said before he’s interrupted by @rx0rcist, who goes by Savannah.

“I warned you that we were going to hold you accountable,” Savannah said, “You see, while you’ve gotten super comfortable spreading COVID disinformation, racism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, literally all the phobias you’ve hit in your videos, you forgot the part where freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.” /snip
