That should be irrelevant to the outcome.

That's where I'm currently at on this whole #rehire thing, too. So now, who brought the situation to light and why also matters, and not just what the situation was? That opens up a whole big can of worms.
I've kind of been wondering what the reaction to tweets of that nature would if, say...John Oliver had brought them to the public attention on his show, and they were from a Republican Senator. Would folks be shouting #rehire?
