For those of you that read Politico, this is the kind of people they employ and how they view those that are not just like them ideologically. She has been let go for the tweet but that brain rot festers in organizations such as Politico.
Not to worry though, she has been picked up by the Atlantic. No job search required, plenty of homes in the media for these sorts of people.

In a post I read yesterday she was already leaving Politico to go to the Atlantic. Politico said they was going to "hurry up" her departure. The headline is not quite true, I'm guessing Politico wants to look like they fired her to maintain some type of reputation, that they don't have anyways.

I believe this was just for show and not for an altruistic response by Politico they wish to potray. Politico has proven time and time again that they are far left-leaning, and I'm surprised anyone still takes them seriously. I'm even more surprised that newspapers and other media outlets still use them for "fact checking".
