Thats enough.
Thats no different than the places firing guys who showed up as Nazis in Charlottesville. Being a Nazi probably doesnt affect your ability to wash dishes at a pizza joint, but it makes the place look bad.
This case is worse for the employer because it creates a possible liability. Imagine if she makes a mistake that harms a patient who is white. It could be just a mistake because everyone in every profession makes mistakes. But imagine the difference in court where its just a mistake in front of the jury or when its a mistake with a white patient and the lawyers throw that tweet on a huge poster in front of the jury and argue it was intentional malpractice or it was racially biased indifference that lead to the mistake.
