> Weaponizing old, out-of-context tweets is just the new alt-right playbook. James Gunn is the other obvious example. They merely adopted left's usual tactics. Personally, I don't support firing people over their private views, but in this case it's blatant hypocrisy. For example, a few months ago NYT fired Quinn Norton for almost the same thing[1]. Almost, because her old racist tweets weren't targeting white people. >Yes, these people posted things that were bad ideas. They also apologised, made it clear they were not serious about what was said, and moved past it. Sarah did not apologize. All she did was claiming that she's a victim.

Yes, she was a victim, she also admitted she was wrong, and said she would not do it again, and she has not.

If it was the same, then maybe it was wrong with her too. I can't find an apology, however, so it seems different to me.
