The OP here (op of the comment not thread). Possibly, but knowing her, I can tell you if this was an old white man WMATA employee, she'd have made the same tweet. It wasn't class or race based. [b]Part of her brand is calling out hypocrisy when she sees it. [/b]In this case, she made several really bad mistakes. But who of us doesn't. And while I completely understand the hypocrisy sentiment, I'd never have posted the woman's picture. But to drag her through the mud and ask for her head was WAY way crazy of a reaction. I'm a liberal and consider myself both woke and an ally, and I think the reaction to this has been hysterical and vindictive. And Unsuckmetro is trash. I didn't realize this till this whole debacle happened. [/quote]

Surely she isn't expecting to build a brand on calling out hypocrisy and yet still expect not to get anyone riled up? I mean, the reason why it works as a "brand" is that it's controversial.

She is not going to be immune from responses to "calling out hypocrisy" in her future dealings, either. It comes with the territory.[/quote]
