Do you think women shouldn't be trusted?
Frances Yates was an important scholar who published thoroughly-researched books of history. Though various details have been disputed by later scholars, all of whom are standing on her shoulders, what she says of Bruno in the passage I quoted has been confirmed by later writers.

I think you should check these scholarly sources, more than you should trust cartoons from Fox.
Bruno was not executed due to his scientific views. He was executed because he wanted to replace Christianity with an equally ridiculous supernatural religion based mostly on fake-Egyptian tablets. With himself as the boss, of course.
I don't think he should have been executed. But if he'd limited himself to scientific studies, he wouldn't have been. And if he had stayed in northern Europe, instead of traveling back to Italy for the purpose of replacing the Pope, he would have been fine.
