Missoula Nissan Hyundai no longer employs a lube technician who posted a picture on Facebook of his middle finger raised in front of a car with Hillary Clinton bumper stickers, according to Nick Griffin, regional operations director.

Kyle O'Brien had said on the social media site that he refused to work on the car because it showed support for Democrat Clinton. On Tuesday, Griffin said the former employee confirmed he made the post.

"This employee no longer works at our dealership," Griffin said. "We apologize for his comments as they do not reflect the business practice or the values of our business or the dedicated team of employees who work here."

Griffin said the former employee crossed the line with his "vulgar" post. He also said the local team works well together and represents a variety of political views.

"We have a broad spectrum here, and we all work together well and we respect each other's opinions and views, and we respect the opinions and views of our customers," Griffin said. "And unfortunately, one employee's views being published on Facebook do not reflect us as a team."
