I’m not defending him, that’s the result of me arguing the system should be fair. If his employer would fire him, i would be silent. Politicians are not employers. Let’s look at it from another perspective; imagine a colleague of this racist have an x account where he tells people to come to protests about climate change, do you think a politician should have something to say about his salary too?
The position of being a racist. That’s what’s being discussed. Racism is not a crime so it’s an absolutely bizarre position to say that for some arbitrary reason, only law should be able to punish him for being a racist.

Your employer can and should if you did something racist while doing your work. Your employer should not be able to fire you or lower your salary you for stuff you post online in your free time. Not even is that is as vile as this guys stuff. I’m not arguing he isn’t a racist. Aside that, politicians aren’t the employer of individual officers, teachers, social workers, etc.
