That said, I think she is entirely justified in sending the video to everyone who was at the gathering. Not to get even, but specifically because her cousin accused her of lying, in front of the whole group, and no one disagreed. Therefore IMO it's a matter of setting the record straight.

Now of course family relationships come into it as well, that's why she should do what feels right to her and not feel that she has to send it out because someone else thinks it's a good idea.

I remember years ago, when Bill Clinton was President, soon after the Monica Lewinsky affair and the impeachment and all that crap. We were going to a family gathering and my brother started in on what a harridan Hillary Clinton was, and I just looked at him and said, Careful now, you're going to be giving Bill an excuse for what he did. Shut him right up -- we didn't talk about anything political for the rest of the evening.
