I get that sometimes, too, during my various internships as a rabbi. People make political comments, and I have to question whether I should admit my disagreement, or just decline to comment. I think ultimately, if it's during the course of a professional exchange, we're better suited to avoid discussing politics: it's just a quagmire, and the best thing to do is avoid it, and get out quick.
