To parlay her name to greater recognition and more influence, she wanted to pull this stunt, but did not have the power to do so. I'm not angry at her. She is a professional politician and she's playing the game with what I said she has. But she played amd lost.

Edit: actually, if she does become as a martyr of the Revolution, she will have won.
