I know nothing was technically done wrong, but even if he didn't announce it to the world, and somehow it got out, the same thing would happen (I would guess anyway).
Remember though. It wasn't his vote (who would know?). He also donated 3k to the Obama campaign. That's certainly his right, and if he hadn't said so in the interview, no one would have noticed or likely cared.
The problem was made worse when the company responded to angry questions about this by saying that he only did it to help defeat Clinton in the primaries, and that he'd also donated to McCain and the RNC. But then it turned out he hadn't. Oops!

The board voted him out, but it's because of the consumers that they did so. I'm sure the board themselves could care less who he voted for or supports, they're just caving to the mob.
Of course. But that's the boards job, right? You call it "caving to the mob", but all businesses have to respond to their customers wishes. There's nothing wrong with this at all.
I guess my point is that I don't find it disturbing at all.
