Think Salem Media will fire Eric Metaxas? Very unlikely. They're pro-Trump.
I'd forgotten that Eric Metaxas is a senior fellow at the Falkirk Center.

Seems like the guy who got hit was: instagram.com/antidote503/
The video is posted at: instagram.com/p/CEa6BYnhzof/
He and his roommate debrief the incident and then he looks at a photo of Eric Metaxas at 33:54 and says: "That looks exactly like him!" instagram.com/p/CEbKqhoJ2_u/
The guy who got hit says from 38:43-39:20 the Secret Service handcuffed him but then let him go after a bystander showed the Secret Service video footage of what happened.

Thread of David Frum tweeting in the past not to punch people when Richard Spencer and Jacob Wohl were hit.
The EricMetaxasShow Twitter account retweeted photos of the victim so I'll take that as a final confirmation that Eric punched him. (The victim said afterward on Instagram that the Secret Service let him go after bystanders showed them footage of what happened).
