"And she herself has indeed performed political grandstanding herself on a variety of subjects and arguably this editorial is one of them."
That's exactly what I was struggling to articulate to myself, reading through her tiresome language. (I hadn't read the editorial, prior, just seen snippets.) It's political boilerplate, cliché after cliché, one overused idiom after another, enervating pablum, devoid of intellectual rigor or interest.
(A really good sample of the problem, come to think of it. Notwithstanding whatever editing help she must have had.)
<i>"I’m sad that she’s been insulted with racial epithets and received death threats..."</i>
Color me skeptical about at least the death threats part of that.
I expect the death part of the threat depends on "context"
