Or she's being pressured to say it's okay to kill the controversy.

I don't think either of you know how powerful a moment of elation like that can be. I think she gets it because she was there, living it too. Context, as always, is everything.

We're both talking about the fact that she changed her messaging about what happened, not the original action.
