Her comments were completely unacceptable. Senior politicians should know better and behave better irrespective of political leanings.
That she did not apologise immediately for her remarks shows a lack of judgement and humility.
The comments made are not somehow justified by the intimidation she was subsequently subjected to.
This does not excuse the behaviour of others who have been abusive or threatening. Nor does it reduce the personal sympathy she deserves for personal loss.
