11. She wrote herself an escape hatch

She stated

I’m sorry, but that’s indefensible. Unless he’s paying the $3.3 million dollars PER TRIP it takes to travel to Mar-a-Lago out of his own pocket, I fail to see how he can defend this after being so critical of the former president.

You do see that saying "Unless he’s paying the $3.3 million dollars" is the built-in dodge to later praise him and ignore the hypocrisy completely?
She easily transitioned from "indefensible" to a way to excuse it effortlessly.

The man that said he would never have time for golf has already played more golf than Obama did his entire first term. He is on to play more golf in a year than Obama did in eight.

She is no different than all republicans, fuck all republicans.
