Quite the abuse of power.
Don't recall Obama calling for Trump to be sacked from the Apprentice when he was spouting off about that daft birther conspiracy.
This is quite instructive, I think. Remember when conservatives were up in arms about "free speech" because Google bro was sacked after emailing the entire company with a pseudoscientific rant about how a third of his coworkers are incompetent because their ovaries make them too sensitive and dainty for basic numerology?
Crickets from them on this one though, if not pitchforks.
Conservatives in America have emotions, not principles (for the most part).
Freedom of speech obviously means respecting the rights of people with whom one disagrees. If we want a society where James Damore doesn't lose his job, then we have to defend Jemele Hill too. Still waiting to hear from
Professor Jordan Peterson on that. Unlike James Damore, at least what Jemele Hill wrote was more or less true, if no less impolitic.
Of course, sacking Google bro was completely within accordance with (American) libertarian principles, which hold that dictatorship is welcome, as long as its corporate. There was a
good article in the New Yorker about this the other day (which also had some instructive lessons for centrist Dems, namely: Don't be the party that claims "America is Already Great!" to people who effectively earn less than minimum wage and have to wear diapers to work because their non-air-conditioned factory locks the doors, and doesn't allow bathroom breaks, and keeps ambulances on retainer in the parking lot to attend to the fainting proles)
