Well, it was partially a joke in that I don't think anyone's actions on social media... Barring literally illegal actions... Should impact their job.
But what I meant was: Someone who is meant to be representing civil rights as a living, but then sees a person being returned to the public square and protests that, isn't the best person for the job. Anyone in her position should, even if they hated the person and their views, have the intelligence and impartiality towards such subjects to be able to say: "Well, I don't like him, but people I don't like should also have certain rights. In fact, it's part of my job to ensure that everyone has certain rights and they aren't infringed and, frankly, the 'town square' debate is one we should be having."

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying. 👍
