My employer can dock my pay or fire me 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.
