That example is something of a red herring. If you're a CEO, or someone in a high visibility corporate role, don't talk about political hot-button issues in a public forum.

You have the right to do so, but you also have the possibility of being nailed to the cross (apt metaphor, in this case) for doing so.

So taking the risk is stupid from a personal perspective.

CEOs do so all the time for mainstream acceptable issues like LGBT rights. While it's certainly a valid strategy to shut up about anything political, it can be beneficial or even expected for political commentary depending on the industry and company.
