Before he sold the business? Or the new owner hired those people and he freely decided to work with them? The ones he knows had the political ideology that would make them likely to vote for trump? I give him credit for that. Those people must have been the best available?

In today’s sue your employer world, it really seems unusual for a boss, even one with a senior emeritus position would willfully answer a political question, instead of just saying they don’t talk about politics.

Since he’s the boss, the receptionist who dared ask the question will probably end up losing her job.
