. In fact, Moran's Supplemental Brief all but abandons any attempt to argue that the regulation is ambiguous. Instead, Moran argues that the regulation does not clearly establish that the Fair Housing Act prevents a public official from firing an employee for any reason or for insubordination. See Moran's Supp. Br. at 5-6. This argument misses the point. As long as Gonzalez presents evidence in support of her allegation that Moran fired her for refusing to engage in racial discrimination, and that evidence is sufficient to survive a motion for summary judgment, see infra Part IV.B.2, Moran’s actual motivation for firing Gonzalez presents classic questions of fact and credibility that the jury will have to resolve. For purposes of resolving the issue of *1305qualified immunity at the summary judgment stage of the case, we must view the evidence in the light most favorable to Gonzalez and determine whether her allegations, if true, would violate clearly established law.
