That's my term for it. I don't know how many people remember that she was arrested for protesting at the "School of the Americas" that trained a lot of paramilitary thugs who went on to violate human rights in their home countries (maybe some of the instructors are now training ICE?).
Anyway, at her trial, she started dumping on all of the school's graduates' misdeeds and the trial was quickly shut down and the charges dropped.
