She can afford the luxury of "sending a message" (at the cost all those among us who are hungry, vulnerable, sick, needy, homeless, parentless, jobless, lgbtq, pregnant, abused... the list goes on and on.)
How fortunate she is to be able to sit high in her tower eating her cake while taking "standing her ground" and being unwilling to compromise her virtuous self.
I'll never forget how she rolled her eyes and shook her head in disgust at the DNC convention nominating Hillary. A spoiled brat.
