I have no idea about this particular case, but there are difficult comms tradeoffs to be made.
If your are working for an advocacy org, sometimes it might be important to make messaging compromises to build alliance and get policy through. I can see a good argument that a public comment like this could make others work at the org a lot harder, so it might not be the best job for him in that case. People need to be saying stuff like he said, but maybe in a different org?
Truth seeking is important. So is building alliances.
