GPYTo me it sounds more like "... though he protested", though I can't properly make out the first part of the line.
It might be "Got thrown out though he protested".

Thank you! That helps a lot!
I saw the line on Hulu's video subtitles, though it might be wrong for that it seems like made automatically by the website.
I think you are right.
So, it mean "he have protested, but he still got fired"?
