HUD official fired for criticizing Trump

I stopped reading after "Political appointee". Incomming President has the right to remove past political appointees and replace with there own without cause as well as change their own political appointees as they see fit. Entirely employment at will. Been going on for over a century. I see no reason to suspect anything different here despite what CNN may believe.

One can stop reading once they finish the first two words of the first paragraph... A political appointee.
I do think there is more to the story besides an Op-Ed that was written before the election but look at the accusation: a coded message to eliminate a race of people. So, it's not like Shermichael Singleton made a comment about Mr. Trump's hair. He made his opinion known which is devoid of any fact or action.

After a few years this article can be read with a better perspective. The political firings continued throughout the Trump administration and resignations of career officials and political appointees increased as well. Now several former officials are accusing the administration of misconduct and in some cases illegal activity. Is this considered being disloyal to the President or loyal to the Constitution?
