looks like someone cant handle other people having different viewpoints from their own

What IS a right to work state? It sounds like all it means is that you can be fired for anything which is really ironic.

Right to work has nothing to do with anything. That means you don't have to join a union. He means work-at-will, meaning employees and employers can quit or fire without notice, cause, or penalty. However, arbitrary firings result in unemployment being paid. Additionally, employees may quit without penalty. That means if they have the password to sensitive documents, and quit without notice, they don't need to provide the passwords or whatever.

Even in at-will states you are protected from discrimination, including political affiliation. So no matter the state, if OP has proof of why he was fired (co-worker willing to back him up, etc) he can file a lawsuit.

okay. I find this fishy because I'm unsure how you would know your coworker told a lie about you to the boss without the boss ratting out who tipped her about you. which would be a risky move. But in the worst case scenario, an if what you said is 100% true, then you can always feign as if you are going for a wrongful termination lawsuits based on politics which is a taboo thing to get involved with in 99% of business. I say feign because if you go through with it, it probably wouldn't be worth the legal fees in the end and if you lose terribly you might have to reimburse the other sides legal fees as well.... so pretend to visit your coworker and boss (make sure the worker is there) and make a statement about why you believe you were fired and what your lawsuit is about and make sure your coworker knows she be brought to the stand (and thus under oath) to testify about whether or not she lied. She might then later confess to her boss privately and you'll get your job back as the boss would want her friend to get into trouble (and I figure if they are that close she wouldn't fire your coworker either as they would think you must be terrible to them or whatever. But as you could get your coworker in trouble via a lawsuit then she would give you the job anyways. (You aren't by any chance. Trump supporter are you. as awful as that would be, it could help in the ploy as it gives the boss less of a reason to get mad at your coworker for lying as your boss as a Clinton supporter would not like you much if you were a trump supporter for obvious reasons. But that being said, I don't really believe there isnt more to why you are fired so I wouldn't do my suggestion. but if you are telling the complete truth, it wouldn't hurt to do it. worst would be that you don't have job currently and hey you already don't have a job currently... and it's not like your boss would give you a good recommendation anyways sooo... /shrug.
