No, it has almost no power. I frankly strongly disagree with your entire


Post. Whether the employee or employees who tweeted without proper authorization should be fired depends upon the bigger picture of their overall employment record. If the person was a stellar employee with a spotless record up to that point, I would not fire the person. I would correct whatever misimpression led to the unauthorized tweet not going through proper channels. Proper disciplinary action depends upon the overall picture. This needn’t be a cancel culture moment.

I also don’t think the deleted tweet has been amplified anywhere beyond the fever swamps of right wing gotcha brigades. Nobody from Congress up through our geopolitical allies and adversaries is focused on the Biden admin’s calls for restraint that they never officially made. To fire the wrongful tweeter impetuously would dignify the entire episode far more than it deserves.

The Biden admin is publicly ignoring the silly gotcha, and dealing with the (in truth, minor) transgression (which has not caused any confusion about the admin’s official position) as it sees fit privately.

You’re entitled to your preference for the policy that the tweet outlined, but it was still never Biden admin policy. Not for a second, and that’s what we’re discussing here.
