Did Facebook can an employee for being a Trump supporter?

If the following news from the Wall Street Journal (via Hot Air) is any indication, they did:
Facebook Inc. FB -2.61% executive and virtual-reality wunderkind Palmer Luckey was a rising star of Silicon Valley when, at the height of the 2016 presidential contest, he donated $10,000 to an anti-Hillary Clinton group.So here's another reason why, if you need a social media page, Facebook just isn't the place to get one. There is competition out there, and it'd be best to seek said competition instead for where to manage a profile.
His donation sparked a backlash from his colleagues. Six months later, he was out. Neither Facebook nor Mr. Luckey has ever said why he left the social-media giant. When testifying before Congress about data privacy earlier this year, Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg denied the departure had anything to do with politics.
Mr. Luckey, it turns out, was put on leave, then fired, according to people familiar with the matter. More recently, he has told people the reason was his support for Donald Trump and the furor that his political beliefs sparked within Facebook and Silicon Valley, some of those people say.
Internal Facebook emails suggest the matter was discussed at the highest levels of the company. In the fall of 2016, as unhappiness over the donation simmered, Facebook executives including Mr. Zuckerberg pressured Mr. Luckey to publicly voice support for libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, despite Mr. Luckey’s yearslong support of Mr. Trump, according to people familiar with the conversations and internal emails viewed by The Wall Street Journal.

“The United States has poured billions of dollars into Pakistan’s counterterrorism efforts…Much of the money went to buy conventional military equipment for the constant struggle with India, and thus did little to help Pakistan to fight Al Qaeda or other jihadists. Corrupt officials siphoned off much of the aid, and the money did not significantly improve Pakistan’s ability to fight terrorism.”
