A State Department political appointee was fired by the White House Thursday after tweeting on Wednesday evening that President Donald Trump is unfit for office and was to blame for the mob attack on the US Capitol, according to two sources familiar with the firing.

"President Trump fomented an insurrectionist mob that attacked the Capitol today. He continues to take every opportunity to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power," Gabriel Noronha, who worked on Iran at the State Department and was previously a staffer on Capitol Hill, tweeted. "These actions threaten our democracy and our Republic. Trump is entirely unfit to remain in office, and needs to go."

Noronha also said that all government officials must uphold the constitution.

"All government officials swear to uphold and defend the constitution. That is where our loyalties must lie -- not to any man or political party. @JoeBiden has won the election for President and we must all work together to rebuild our economy and defend our nation," Noronha wrote in his second tweet.

Trump to fire them if they criticize or become disloyal to him?

I've read a number of times where political appointees get fired in such situations.
